    Voter: I have gained some respect for you now. It is good to see that you are practicing your second amendment rights, keep it up. I am actually allowed to carry a gun anywhere within the United States, since I am a retired(medically) law enforcement officer. I am required to pass the annual firearm qualification(s) of my previous department(which I pass every year). So, your statement is wrong there.

    I have no problem with people that have different skin color saturation. My guess is you probably question every person with dark skin(or lighter skin if you have darker skin) since you bring this up. Do they scare you? Even your post makes me laugh, since you automatically assume that I am Caucasian.

    Liberals have done more to harm our Constitution more than any conservative ever has. I say that because both parties have had members that have hurt our way of life, but they have been more to the left than right. National health care? Bailing out companies that are failing to operate a successful business? Acting like a nanny state?

    The fact that Obama has been backing that criminal Honduras ex-president is just another example of the problems with liberals. They let a country slaughter their own people, but back a leader that is violating his or her own country's constitution. Perhaps he sees himself Zelaya.

    As far as whether or not I am going to attend Georgetown...can you give it a rest already? It is sad that you cannot handle the fact that someone who you do not care for is successful. I guess you lost some opportunity in your life, ended up here, and you are now angry with the way things turned out. Of course, you could be just another angry liberal. Either way...yeah, whatever.

    E.W.: DC vs Heller only allows for the ownership of hand guns(well, the additional ownership of firearms
