If you live in California, Colorado, Connecticut or Maryland?

Is Doc under some sort of delusion that guns have been banned? It wouldn't surprise me.

you don't keep up with current events.

Would it be unconstitutional to ban ammunition ?

[DinoDoc]

Would it be unconstitutional to ban ammunition ?

Would it be unconstitutional for the federal government to ban access to electronic media?

[dannubis]

Do you have access to atomic bombs ?

[DinoDoc]

Do you have access to atomic bombs ?

I don't have the right to shout fire in a crowded theater either.

[dannubis]

So, the original question remains...

[DinoDoc]

So, the original question remains...

Not really. The question is stupid and you should feel bad for asking it as the answer is obvious. Yes, it would be.

[dannubis]

But you couldn't give me a serious explanation of why (not).

Hint: "It doesn't fit in my agenda is not a valid one".

So now why don't you go play the "I wanna ***** about obama boat song again" on your banjo ?

[DinoDoc]

But you couldn't give me a serious explanation of why (not).

The onus is on those seeking to take away or curtail the rights of the people to explain themselves not those wishing to be left alone by the government.

Good starting point, but incomplete argument as to why it would be unconstitutional. Ninth Amendment seems a good one to point at.

It looks like Oregon is going to pass some much needed gun control measures as well. It's nice to see state and local officials at least carrying out the will of the people even if corrupt Republicans in Congress continue to block measures which get 91% approval ratings. Universal background checks (even for second hand purchases) gets a 91% approval rating in polls yet Republicans continue to block it because they are completely owned by the NRA who is itself completely owned and controlled by gun makers.

Oregon is such a strange state. They've got some crazies in the hills... but also enough aging hippie types to make it a lefty state. It strikes me as the west coast version of Vermont.

[Dinner]

Indeed. The crazies in the hills are a dying breed as it actually costs a fair bit of money to buy land there so they're slowly getting gentrified out. The hippies in Portland pretty much run the show now.

Portland is an interesting but strange place with the second largest number of breweries in a city (it used to be the first but San Diego passed it ) and it is very pro-diversity despite being the whitest large city in America. It does have a unique culture all its own though which is an accomplishment given how culture has been so homogenized now days.

[Sava]

I have friends who live in Vancouver, Washington. I'd like to visit them some time. The area looks gorgeous.

Also, cities with high breweries per capita

[Ben Kenobi]

at least carrying out the will of the people

Never mind that whole constitution thing, eh?
