And the free State part, there was no National Guard or even that much of an army at all back then. The entire point of this was so the State’s could have their own militias in case they needed to. It was not to give everyone the right to own arms for the hell of it.

Ken Patera, not Pantera. Former Olympic weightlifter/WWF wrestler. Instead of semi-auto weapons, he probably endorses the swinging full nelson for home defense.

“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.”

Same. Rifle from grandpappy, shotgun from a neighbor who moved overseas, and a pea shooter of a .22 revolver that I think came with a McDonald’s Happy Meal or something?

You also don’t have to worry about quartering soldiers in your home, so that’s useful. Perhaps we could look at things relevant to now instead of treating the Constitution like an infallible holy document?

Try reading my name again. Also I admittedly don’t know much about guns. But weapons like an AR-15 shouldn’t be accessible to regular citizens. But why can’t I own a handgun? Show me you are not unhinged and can have a conversation. You just jump to calling me names when I made a reasonable response to your very…

LAAARRRYYY,

Your take is bad and you should feel bad.

People who prefer the Summer Olympics to the Winter Olympics mystify me. Shit like this is so much better than horsefuckers dancing to shitty string-quartet covers of pop music.

It’s usually young black guys playing rap music and frequently at night when most people may have had some drinks. Immediately play the race card. It’s preposterous.

“is it bothering you?”

Can we extend this to adults who use the speaker phone option or Snapchat/FaceTime/Skype in public as well?

It is not even slightly out of the ordinary for me to see people on the NYC subway watching porn with the volume all the way up at rush hour.

I was on a bus with 3 other lonesome strap holders today and the driver stopped the damn bus in the street to walk back and yell at a dude for watching a video without headphones. To me, he’s the real troops.

Come hang out with me. I would rather jump in front of a train than hit an autoplay ad that I can’t click off quick enough.

Throw it up in the drop ceiling.

We invented the technology to listen to your music in public through portable headphones in the goddamn 1980's and yet somehow we are still fighting this battle. Honestly, I would just as soon go back to the days where you brought your boom box on the train and listened to it at ear splitting volume. At least when you…

This has been happening on the subway with increasing frequency. If you really feel the need to watch Blade: Trinity on your phone while on a crowded 7 train, please get some $10 headphones at Walgreens first.

Considering almost every new smartphone includes headphones, the money excuse isn’t even in play here. Wear some god damn headphones.
