So, there isn’t an absolute constitutional right to own and carry weapons.
This, I don't agree with. And I wish the NRA, or somebody, would force the issue to the Supreme court to end all the argumentation. I don't even know if that is possible, but that is what I would like to see.

I think guns should be licensed like driving, and there should be different licenses for different types of weapons. There should be a competency test, a psychological test, and a background check.
I cannot disagree with this statement. In fact, I think it would be a good idea. Except... I also think it would be argued that a driver's license is a privilege and not a right, as is the right to keep and bear arms. I don't have a problem with licencing, myself, however.

If it could be regulated, then I might also suggest the first amendment be altered to say that the media be schooled in the difference between the truth and fabricating it, with a felony being issued for each lie. Either side must tell the truth. I just want the truth, period.

If there were, no government could regulate them. So, that’s not a really persuasive argument
I think that would only be true if the previous string of deductive statements were true and accurate, thus leading to an equally accurately conclusion. I think that's where the disagreements come from. I, personally, don't agree with the previous reasoning that led to your conclusion.

We need some laws placing liability on dealers whose weapons consistently turn up in the wrong hands
I could go for that as long as it could be proven that the transfer of weapons to criminals or other unlawful ownership could be proven. Not if someone just robbed the store.

Carrying an unlicensed, concealed weapon should be a felony
OK, but I think that should be qualified. Since I believe just about everyone should be allowed to carry a gun, I think penalties should be directed to those not allowed to have guns in the first place. Those would be the felons, illegals, and the mentally unstable. I don't think the gun should be licensed, but I think it is OK to license the person. In other words, It's OK for this or that person to have a gun, but the government doesn't get the serial number to their gun. The bottom line for me it that everyone should be held strictly accountable for the use of the gun.



It seems like you're equating Afghanis with Arabs
My bad. I was trying to reference any muslim who thinks that anyone who is not muslim should die. Y'see, they wouldn't want to stop the killing with Americans... they want you too. Pardon the inaccurate blanket statement.

you can't just start attacking Islamic nations just because one terrorist group successfully executed an attrocious operation.
In theory, I would agree. But if these Islamic nations are willingly harboring those who do the harm, they are just as bad and just as responsible.

What's to stop any country from saying, "Oh, it's not us, it's that group of fundamentalists in the mountains over there", knowing they disavow the connection to escape retaliation. And they just might be hiding them specifically to terrorize the country of their choice at the time.

...a Tomahawk hitting a hospital (with no military objectives in the vicinity) where my great aunt was staying, thus killing her.
I don't think there is an American alive who wants these things to happen.

The violence has to stop somewhere.
Tell that to the muslim extremists.

Insulting the US foreign policies with facts and logic is the only thing I can do...
That's just it... I don't think you have the complete facts other than what you want them to be to justify your logic. If the facts are flawed, so too is the logic. Insinuating we went to Vietnam to give the poor farmers cancer is flawed logic as I see it.

Setting political preferences aside, I have to say I do not like politicians in general. Any of them. I just dislike some of them more than others.
