There's only one person in this picture who shouldn't be claiming to be an expert..

..on the constitution.

1. "The 2nd amendment protects a legitimate individual right" - Barack Obama

can we stop the militia nonsense?

[upaloopa]

5. No, it's part of the amendment how ever inconvenient

[hack89]

9. But it is an individual right independent of the militia according to the President

and the party platform.

[bongbong]

18. LOL

What cherrypicking the Delicate Flowers do!

Obama used the word "legitimate", which you dropped from your post. Just like how Delicate Flowers drop "well-regulated" whenever they whine about the 2nd Amendment.

[hack89]

19. Go read my original post again - see the 6th word in the title?

what difference does it make? He is saying an individual right to own guns is a legitimate right.

[11 Bravo]

20. If Tom Tomorrow had trademarked the phrase "delicate flowers", some folks would have to stop ...

posting altogether.

[hack89]

21. He would still have LOL and a smilie. nt

[bongbong]

31. Your post is a prime example

Of why Tom Tomorrow invented the phrase. Thanks for showing his work wasn't in vain.

[11 Bravo]

33. Finally, an attribution!

Although surely you wouldn't have objected to a continued portrayal of yourself as the insanely clever devil who coined that phrase, would you?

And FYI, I probably agree with you on 95% of the Second Amendment/gun issues. I just think you are one piss-poor spokesman for the cause.

[bongbong]

34. I never claimed authorship

I always acknowledged it came from Tom Tomorrow whenever there was whinging from the Delicates about it.

> I just think you are one piss-poor spokesman for the cause.

Never claimed to be a spokesman. Just expressing my opinion on things, like the cowardly paranoia that grips Delicate Flowers.

[bongbong]

24. Delicate Flower Spinning!

Nice try at spin!

Here is the quote: ""The 2nd amendment protects a legitimate individual right"

That in no way shape or form is equivalent to "an individual right to own guns is a legitimate right." Not in the SLIGHTEST.

He is stating that the 2nd amendment protects a (legal) individual right. If you doubt that, there are plenty of online dictionaries to look up what the word "legitimate" means.

Now, what makes something legal or not? The laws that govern it - as in GUN CONTROL (BOO!) laws.

[hack89]

26. We all know the 2A allows regulation - even Scalia agrees with you

I support regulation. I support all of the President's EOs plus universal background checks and limits on high cap mag.

The president is saying you don't have to be in a militia to own guns.

So what is your point exactly?

[bongbong]

27. Caught your spin

> So what is your point exactly?

My point is that I caught your spin - your reinterpretation of what the President said. Just like when you spin "you're safer now than ever before" into "guns make you safer"

[hack89]

28. I interpreted to mean you didn't need to be part of militia

in order to keep and bear arms.

Do you think the president thinks otherwise?

[bongbong]

29. Spin

What the president said is clear, and you tried to change it.

That trick doesn't work at DU.

[hack89]

30. The President agrees with me. It is pretty clear

that thinks you have to be a member of the militia to keep and bear arms.

[appal_jack]

22. Nothing like the stink of bongwater polluting up the thread. n/t

[bongbong]

23. LOL

Nice personal attack! Par for the course for Delicate Flowers.

[Enrique]

2. who is the guy on the left

and what kind of gun is that?

[madokie]

4. I'd bet money he's never been in the military

[Aristus]

25. Yeah, never mind the two-mile run physical fitness test.

That dickless wonderboy looks like he probably couldn't manage a two-mile waddle.

Certainly not with full-combat gear...

Delusional fuckbrain...

[upaloopa]

3. What the hell kind of gun is that guy holding?

Is it for squirrel hunting or home protection?
When you look up gun nut it says see him.

[TheBlackAdder]

6. That's not a gun... That's a PENIS ENLARGER! eom

[HereSince1628]

7. looks sort of like a potato gun to me.

[Yavin4]

8. GunType: Compensatory Microphallus n/t

[freshwest]

10. IT BE HOME GROWD AMURIKAN MADE WAN, DOAN YA KNOE? JOB CREASHUN - WE HAZ IT!

[Adsos Letter]

12. All phallic symbolism aside...

it reminds me of some more recent variant of the anti-tank rifles produced during WWII. Possibly the Lahti L-39, a 20 mm anti-tank rifle produced by Finland.

[IMG][/IMG]


EDIT: Yeah...looking at the two again, I suspect it is some version of the Finnish L-39. I wonder where he gets ammo for that thing?

[Recursion]

14. I'm thinking that's a modified NTW-20

It costs more than his truck.

[Adsos Letter]

15. I'm thinking some variant of the Finnish Lahti L-39 (photos)

[IMG][/IMG]

[IMG][/IMG]


EDIT: Yeah, I'm pretty certain that's what it is. I wonder where he gets ammo for that thing?

[Recursion]

16. Yeah, you're right. It still costs more than his truck (nt)

[Adsos Letter]

17. I wonder what ammo costs, and where he gets it.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

11. There's also only one person in this picture

who evidently must compensate for his lack of intelligence and 'other attributes' with a big gun. Pretty sad.

[Isoldeblue]

13. Big guns equal compensation for a lack of miminal endowment.... ?

I bet one guy doesn't even have a high school diploma, much less have knowledge of the constitution.......

No constitution amendment is absolute, like the other guy probably thinks it is. That is why there are college courses and degrees for it.

[MadHound]

32. Given the NDAA, Obama's drone policy, and Obama's own personal kill list,

I'm seriously wondering if either of them is anywhere close to being a Constitutional expert.
