As for my right of free speech I have done nothing but show respect and voice my opinion... you are the one choosing to get all hyped and threatening.

As for the law about the weapons in bars... I was wrong it is a state law in quite a few states (been researching it because I thought for sure it was a fed law, like carrying a gun within 50 feet of a school or church or election poll). But hey, a couple profs in my dept. are lawyers and Criminal Justice is there so I'll ask around.

Tell that to people living in DC or Detroit. Care to wager what percentage of the people stripped of their Second Amendment rights are minorities? Look at the cities with the strictest gun control, and then look at the percentage of minority populations in those cities. You'll find that the stricter the gun control laws are correlates with the numbers of minorities present. You say we don't live during reconstruction. That's true. But as recently as the 1940's, the Florida Supreme Court held that gun control laws didn't apply to whites, because the legislative intent was to disarm only minorities.
Regarding the federal law prohibiting guns near schools, I suggest you read U.S. v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549 (1995), which struck down that law as being an unconstitutional overextension of Federal constitutional authority relating to the ICC.
The Bill of Rights doesn't enumerate "God given" rights, it enumerates natural rights. One of the first of those rights is the right to self-defense.
You can go and ask the J.D.s at your school whatever you want. Or you could just ask the J.D. in this thread....me.
You've yet to explain how I've threatened you over the internet.
