I'm fine with him stating his opinion. Everyone is allowed to voice their opinion right? Hr isn't an idiot just because you don't share his opinion. Ignoring him would have been better than posting about him on a forum. Oh well, I do love seinfeld. Funny **** about life and observing it with humor and irony. Check out Curb Your Enthusiam if you like Seinfeld.
It's absolutely his right to voice his opinion! And, it's absolutely my right to call him an idiot.
Here's why I think he's an idiot:
He is apparently unable to understand a persons Natural Right to self-defense. We all have that right, to defend ourselves, and our property from those who wish to take it. The most efficient and effective method of doing that, happens to be firearms. Also, being that criminals choose to use firearms to carry out their crimes means for me, to best defend what is mine, is to have an equal method of defense. Mr. "Castanza" is in a priveliged position, as he has never had to actually defend his life or property(to my knowledge). Thus, he is unable to see the importance of such a thing as self-defense beyond a theory.
He is also, apparently, unable to comprehend the words in which he reads. See below:
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed"
Mr."Castanza" isn't able to understand the structure and meaning of a sentence and/or punctuation. The above, ensures a few things... let me explain. The first part tells the gov't that it has a duty to protect the right of the people to form a militia, one of which is necessary to the security of a free state. That means that the people of that state get to decide whether a militia is necessary to its security. You with me? The second part of it tells the gov't that it has a duty to protect the right of the people to keep and bear arms, or, in laymans terms... to own and carry guns. The very last part, the "shall not be infringed" part means that the gov't SHALL NOT infringe, or deny in any way either of these rights. It is very clear what the 2A means, one simply has to be able to understand words and their meanings, sentence structure provided by punctuation, and our Natural Rights as humans.
So, if someone isn't able to understand something as simple as a sentence, using some very simple words with basic punctuation... and his own Natural Rights, then yes, I say he is an idiot.
