Yes, two and a half centuries ago, in which time you've never used it other than to defend gun ownership, so that makes it totally relevant today :thumbsup:

THe 2nd ammendment is irrelevant??? It's never been more relevant than today. Is the 1st irrelevant? The 4th? The 5th? They're not irrelevant because the 2nd still is.

Every single one of them is properly handling the weapon. None are pointed at anyone and no one has their finger near the trigger. (The congressman might but I suspect his finger is wrapped around the trigger guard.)
I'm sure they are as JSOP pointed out earlier - as a brit I struggle to understand why one family have enough firepower to win a small war

It seems everything is political these days. Even decency. It makes me a little sick. It's not your fault. I'm just over it.

True. But that woman could easily shoot the head of the man. :)

a few days after four people were killed in Michigan
Ummm... without taking one side or the other in regards to the silly Christmas card... dozens of people are killed with guns in Chicago every single week - sometimes it's dozens killed in a single weekend. Somehow our illustrious media mostly ignores these killings. It obviously doesn't support their narrative.

Respectfully, I would suggest that even if it was written with that intent, in the meantime said government bought a few tanks, airplanes, missiles, etc. while prohibiting the populace to buy any of them. Today your chance of "fighting the government" with guns is a bit less than zilch.

Our second amendment was written specifically to allow us to overthrow our government if needed. Our freedoms are laid out in our Declaration of Independence (yes, the forgotten document) where it spells out that a free people have the fundamental right to replace their government at any time they feel they're being trampled on by said government. The second amendment is there to enforce that right.

Wuahaha :D Search your "amendments" or whatever they are for nukes. You already lost that arms race. Please stop being rediculous.

I thought the freedom includes the freedom to criticize. Or pointing out the bad taste of someone who makes Christmas cards with guns. You know, this was supposed to be celebrating the birthday of someone who had little to do with guns and violence.

I never once said he couldn't criticize. However, foreigners opinions with regards to our Constitutional rights or how they're infringed carry no weight here (in the U.S.).

I just don't get it, not just because they're tools of war (while Christmas is about peace), but just because. Especially a country's representative could just make a nice neutral Christmas picture, no? It's holiday, not hobby-day, after all ;) Anyway, you're right in that people should just do it if they want to (and face the consequences), but as a Dutchman I'm still entitled to my opinion on an American gun-holiday-picture on a Canadian programming website.

He's not the country's representative - he's Kentucky's representative. States are sovereign in the U.S.
