since when does the right to bear arms mean both rifles AND handguns, i guess since yesterday, god forbid you only be able to have a rifle

[sweetcell]

militias need to be able to overthrow the government at the drop of a hat.  sometimes you don't have time to go to your car or house to retrieve your rifle, you need that handgun NOW   :roll:

It is just too cumbersome to transport long rifles and/or shotguns while riding in our fancy new bike lanes.

There's only one purpose for a handgun - to kill another human being.

That's all I would say. [/b]

I've been many places in this world, some developed, some developing, some not developed at all.  And in only one place have I ever had a hand gun drawn on me: Washington, DC.
 
 Coincidentally, it happened no more than 5 minutes after I decided to move to San Francisco with Smackette, not before.  It simply reaffirmed my decision.  Best $100 I ever "gave" away.

But I must first pass along this rather brilliant observation from professor Stephen Wermiel from American University, who wonders why none of the dissenters cautioned the majority that today's decision "will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed."

Hey!  Excellent, but don't forget the best part of that quote:

Pollard, I still haven't stopped laughing at that.  Brilliant.

i found that in a post on daily kos, to give credit where its due

Is it worth having a discussion when people don't seem to know the difference between concealed carry and being able to possess a handgun IN YOUR OWN HOME without fear of prosecution?

what makes you think people dont know the difference, I am against both, i repeat, where in the right to bear arms do you find the right to possess a handgun in your own home without fear of prosecution
