Actually, the usual response of most animals when their lives are threatened is to flee, not fight.
There are exceptions to that general behavior, of course, but they are exceptions, not the rule.
I didn't say that self defense was invented by humans. I said that the concept of "rights" was.
:confused: Where did you see that in anything I wrote?
If people have always had a "right" to bear arms, why do you need government permission to carry a weapon?
Stan:
I am banning you for two months.
I locked a thread mostly but not totally because of wise ass comments by two other members. Some of the reason was because of you. You argue the same point on every 2A thread and once you get backed into a corner, you turn the argument into one over how to interpret your writing or intent. It appears you are arguing only to argue and because of your constant use of the same arguments followed by arguing over word use and semantics, most of the smarter people on the forum who know something about the Constitution no longer participate.
Within a few hours of locking that thread, you move your argument over you word choice, semantics, and intent to this thread that is one of the few that has not been locked.
For hijacking this thread as you have done, in order to argue for the sake of arguing, you are banned from the forum for two months.
No, I don't like it but you have become disruptive and have driven off guys who really do know something about our history simply because they do not feel like getting into inane arguments with you over a word you used somewhere.
I would do the same to any forum member who hijacked a thread in order to continue an argument from a locked thread.
