    i think it means that someone with a terrible mind has so much more destructive force with extended ammo clips.
    reducing the clips could reduce the carnage--less dead people.
    hope that cleared it up for you larry

    It does not, but anyone needing more than a 10 round clip for self defense is showing that they have a few nuts loose.

    Here's a better question: Is it unconstitutional to limit the number of words a newspaper can print?

    Not every newspaper, of course. But what about dangerous newspapers that run shameless propaganda pieces attempting to paint the 220 year-old Bill of Rights as a new and undefined curiosity?

    These "high-circulation capacity" newspapers (though in the Inky's case, not as high-circulation as it used to be) pose a clear and present danger to children everywhere by flat out lying to them about the history of their American Civil Rights.

    It's fairly likely that newspapers have a personal right to publish as many words as they want within their own homes, but this is still untested by the Supreme Court. For instance, does the personal right to publish at home extend to a newspaper which does not actually own its home, but merely rents it?

    Professors Rape'em and Gag'em believe that these and other exciting common sense limitations on the 1st Amendment could be coming soon to a newspaper near you. After all, children are the Number #1 victims of un-responsible usage of the 1st Amendment!

    Yea I mean your right Peter Palamino.

    Words in newspapers cause 11,000 homicides a year in the United States. Clearly, they shouldn't be limited since that would infringe on your civil rights to use those words in any way you see fit.

    Don't want to characterize my question as being better or worse so here goes:
    Can't find the Amendment that guarantees the Right to shoot the messenger so I'm wondering if such an act is unconstitutional?
    Oh, and one other question:
    When you say "dangerous newspapers" are you referring to the well known sources of all evil in our society better known as The Mainstream Media?
    Oh dear, one more:
    Last week a pic was released showing President Obama skeet shooting with a rifle or a shotgun. When some defenders of the 2nd Amendment say that they need access to unlimited ammunition because of the ever-present danger of our Government launching a full scale attack on us citizens will President Obama be in the forefront of the attacking forces wielding that same weapon he's firing in the picture?
    Just wondering...

    When it's 2am and someone is breaking into your house intent on doing you and your family harm and the cops are 5plus mins away, would you rather have to many bullets or to few bullets? Not all criminals fall down after 2 or 3 shots, some have been known to be shot dozens of times and still able to move.

    5 minutes away? Only if you live inside a police station. Cops in Philly RARELY arrive within 30 minutes, usually 45-an hour if it's a shootout. Anything else, the next day.

    When are people going to accept that there is no such thing as absolute right to anything! Every right has some limitations on it !

    If that was not the case, we will not need a Supreme Court to interprete the Constitution and the Bill of Rights!
