[edit] Image

I've removed the image from the template Template:USgunlegalbox it was used in, for it's the view of only one side in the gun debate in the US that gun ownership is fundamental to the US and the image appears to be endorsing that view by presenting the gun over a flag-like background, apparently symbolising the US. You might try something like a gun over a question mark or vice-versa as an alternative. Jamesday 03:35, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

  • I disagree, I don't think the gun and flag endorses any particular view. It just indicates that the topic is guns in the U.S. --JW1805 16:49, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
It might equally be argued that the gun is a defacement of the flag, implying that guns are inconsistent with the flag's ideals. —Tamfang 19:20, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Context is required for discussion of Constitution and guns

The Constitution was written in a completely different time than today. The guns of that period were much less lethal than today and far more conspicuos. No one could walk into a Dennys and start blasting away. One shot and the guy would have to reload, which would take quite a while.

Also the Constitution expressly condoned slavery. The gun rights people put heavy emphasis on this ammendment, but it sure aint sacred. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.12.208.181 (talk • contribs) 15:15, 26 March 2006.

This is not the place to resolve such questions. —Tamfang 20:38, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
