  1. right and right   16 years ago

    If the right to keep and bear arms is a natural right, well then healthcare sure as hell is too.

    1. Warty   16 years ago

      Lulz?

      1. The Art-P.O.G.   16 years ago

        Wha-?

        1. R C Dean   16 years ago

          Que?

    2. settlesdown   16 years ago

      Then AMMEND the constitution to reflect that. Until then, it is not a right.

    3. juris imprudent   16 years ago

      You give me all the guns I want and you can have all the healthcare.

      1. right and right   16 years ago

        Dammit, did I make you so depressed reading this shit that you need to go get high?

        1. juris imprudent   16 years ago

          Oh how sweet, you remembered a little bit of offhand snark. You shouldn't have.

    4. Thorbie   16 years ago

      Actually a better way to put it is this:

      Either
      a) right to bear arms is a natural right and you are entitled to guns from all gunmakers for free and you can get free healthcare too. or
      b) right to bear arms is a natural right and government can't ban your right to use guns, just as a government has no right to make it illegal for you to get surgery if you need it.

      Only one of them makes a lick of sense.

  2. R C Dean   16 years ago

    You give me all the guns I want and you I can have all the healthcare I want, too.

  3. PicassoIII   16 years ago

    As a Chicagoan i could be convinced.
    Full unrestricted gun ownership for a French/German style health system?
    *thinking*
    *thinking*

    LOL
    As for any clusterfrack that Pelosi is pushin' .... forget it.
