It was an overwhelming majority.No, we didn't ALL support it. Not even close.

Speak for yourself. I never supported it, it was shoved down my throat.It was an overwhelming majority.
It had many struggles in which way to interpret that though. Does arms mean only guns? Or any weapons?It's "the right to keep and bear (not bare) arms shall not be infringed" and it seems pretty self explanatory to me.... especially the "not be infringed" part.

Yeah I get that, I'm just stating that most of the country and our politicians supported this stuff when it was happening because we still trusted our elected officials and didn't really see the bigger picture. They played on our fear and sold us a bill of goods.Speak for yourself. I never supported it, it was shoved down my throat.
You owe Russ Feingold an apology.We all did, at the time. The nation was pretty unified by patriotism at that moment in time. We were all wrong, of course, and it appears in hindsight that 9/11 was used against Americans for a number of reasons by our politicians.
I probably owe quite a few people an apology, but I am far from alone.You owe Russ Feingold an apology.
Then add that to the laws and leave the bill of rights alone.All I am saying is, the wording/specifics should be added to the laws that need them, to update it to the 21st century.
And why is that?Dude, get real. He is a former soldier, if anyone is NOT a threat to national security it is them.
He took an oath to defend this nation from all invaders, foreign and domestic, and paid the price to prove he meant it when he made that oath. If anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, it is those guys.And why is that?

Of course you were, like most of us who are patriots and love our country and thought we were headed for war. As you said, it needs to be revoked.I was all for the Patriot Act when it was first passed.
The more I learned about it the less I liked it. It needs to be totally revoked and redone. Much like the stupid ACA.
We've already been over this, you should read more of the thread before you post.No we all did not!
You should stop making blanket statements.Of course you were, like most of us who are patriots and love our country and thought we were headed for war. As you said, it needs to be revoked.

All generalities are false.You should stop making blanket statements.
And in my state you cant even carry unless it is concealed AND I have a permit. Which requires a course of gun safety (4 hours long) and passing a ridiculously easy test.Then add that to the laws and leave the bill of rights alone.
And, as far as I'm aware (in my state anyway) you can carry legally as long as it's not concealed. You don't seem to even know what you're talking about.
People should stop nitpicking. I had plenty of friends in 2001 and almost nobody I worked with or hung out with was against it. Just because a few of you did, and feel the need to bash the rest of us for our patriotism, does not mean you need to keep coming into this thread and giving me shit because I am mistyping a word here or there.You should stop making blanket statements.
