Care to elaborate? friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #3
No! rdharma Jun 2013 #6
How very eloquent... friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #7

Restraining orders are already a disqualification for that. AtheistCrusader Jun 2013 #72

Look at Arkansas! nt rdharma Jun 2013 #18
Yeah, and now that language is gone. Let's hear it for progress! friendly_iconoclast Jun 2013 #20
Notice the date on that change of language in Arkansas. rdharma Jun 2013 #22

I've got news for you. Voting is a constitutional right. Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #79

What a crock! Starboard Tack Jun 2013 #81
Rights shouldn't be denied... ileus Jun 2013 #30
There is no right to carry a concealed weapon. Warren Stupidity Jun 2013 #44

There are sites other than DU, HockeyMom Jun 2013 #156
Generally speaking rrneck Jun 2013 #158
