Someone else explained conservatism as "conservative in control of the people" in otherwords, less government, less activisim, less interference, conservative in the use and abuse of power.
Unfortunately, today, too many liberals meld too much socialistic agendas into their platforms, and that...is not disputable. I'm speaking in modern day terms when I refer to liberals...obviously, you want to do such in terms of the birth of the country.

Interesting thoughts...
An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine, quote:
"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the
Iraq theatre of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112
deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same
period. That means you are about 25 percent more likely to be shot and
killed in the US capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws
in the US, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion? "The U.S. should pull out of Washington DC".

I'll probably get ripped for where this is posted...BUT...
It's all with BATFE statistics.
http://www.nraila.org/Issues/FactShe...ad.aspx?ID=126
Guns, Gun Ownership, & RTC at All-Time Highs, Less "Gun Control," and Violent Crime at 30-Year Low
Guns.
The number of privately owned guns in the U.S. is at an all-time high. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) estimates that there were about 215 million guns in 1999,1 when the number of new guns was averaging about 4.5 million (about 2%) annually.2 A report for the National Academy of Sciences put the 1999 figure at 258 million.3 According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there were 60.4 million approved (new and used) NICS firearm transactions between 1994 2004.4 The number of NICS checks for firearm purchases or permits increased 3.2% between 2003-2004.
Gun Owners.
The number of gun owners is also at an all-time high. The U.S. population is at an all-time high (294 million), and rises about 1% annually.5 Numerous surveys over the last 40+ years have found that almost half of all households have at least one gun owner.6 Some surveys since the late 1990s have indicated a smaller incidence of gun ownership,7 probably because of some respondents` concerns about "gun control," residually due, perhaps, to the anti-gun policies of the Clinton Administration.
Right-to-Carry.
The number of RTC states is at an all-time high, up from 10 in 1987 to 38 today.8 In 2004, states with RTC laws, compared to other states, had lower violent crime rates on average. Total violent crime was lower by 21%, murder by 28%, robbery by 43%, and aggravated assault by 13%.9
"Less Gun Control."
Violent crime has declined while many "gun control" laws have been eliminated or made less restrictive. Many states have eliminated prohibitory or restrictive carry laws, in favor of Right-to-Carry laws. The federal Brady Act`s waiting period on handgun sales ended in 1998, in favor of the NRA-supported National Instant Check, and some states thereafter eliminated waiting periods, purchase permit requirements, or other laws delaying gun sales. The federal "assault weapon" ban expired in 2004. All states now have hunter protection laws, 46 have range protection laws, 46 prohibit local jurisdictions from imposing gun laws more restrictive than state law, 44 protect the right to arms in their constitutions, and 33 prohibit frivolous lawsuits against the firearm industry.10
Studies by and for Congress, the Congressional Research Service, the Library of Congress, the National Institute of Justice, the National Academy of Sciences, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and even researchers who support "gun control," have found no evidence that "gun control" reduces crime.11
Crime.
The FBI reports that the nation`s total violent crime rate declined every year between 1991 2004.12 In 2004, the violent crime rate fell to a 30-year low, lower than any time since 1974. The murder rate fell to a 39-year low, lower than any time since 1965. The 2004 robbery and aggravated assault rates were lower than any time since 1968 and 1984, respectively. Since 1991, total violent crime has decreased 39%; murder and non-negligent manslaughter, 44%; rape, 24%; robbery, 50%; and aggravated assault, 33%.13 Between 2003-2004, the violent crime rate declined 2.2%.14 Concurrently, the most recent Bureau of Justice Statistics crime victimization survey found that violent crime is lower than anytime since 1973, when the first such survey was conducted.15

An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine, quote:
"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the
Iraq theatre of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112
deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same
period. That means you are about 25 percent more likely to be shot and
killed in the US capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws
in the US, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion? "The U.S. should pull out of Washington DC".

The South averages 7 Per 100k Inhabitants.
The Northeast averages 4 Per 100k Inhabitants.
The Midwest Averages 5 Per 100k Inhabitants.
The West averages 6 Per 100k Inhabitants.
So if you don't want to get murdered the Northeast isn't that bad after all.
Also as per the origin of weapons used in a homicide 60% of them can be traced to Legal Gun Dealers (Many located in the South)
Many of them obtained via a "Straw Purchase".
ATF has statistics on this but there has been a issue with this Data being made public.
And I hope we laided the Car comparison to rest.
Yes a Sports Car is a Over Indulgence but still serves to transport the owner.
You can speed in any vehicle, hybrid or otherwise.
Car serves a purpose other than indulgence...Like a 24k Rolex....Yes it's more than one man needs but still tells him the time.
A guns sole purpose is to destroy. Some of them do it a lot better than others.

"A guns sole purpose is to destroy. Some of them do it a lot better than others."
Destroy is a relative word depending on the person and the use. So many people are stuck on the idea that guns are a "bad" thing (not directed towards anyone) because they can destroy. But I can go "destroy" a target or some other object at a gun range (not bad; FUN) and then destroy would carry an entirely different association if I went and blew some schmucks head off from 1000yds away. A gun is a TOOL; its that simple. A TOOL in the hands of a negligent operator can become dangerous whether it be a car, plane, train, gun, heavy machinery, etc. Stop blaming the gun and look at the people using it and blame them and work to keep guns out of THEIR hands not someone who simply wants to go out and have a good time on the weekend with their friends in a safe and NON-DANGEROUS method.

Here’s my reply direct to your post: here you go
In your little tirade you rarely addressed what I was actually saying and misunderstood a **** ton of it. Your points are puked up drivel that rarely encompasses an actual reply to the meaning of what was said. You’re like a person that never listens and just thinks of what they’re gonna say next. Except this is the internet and you can take however much time you want to reply. So the only excuse for your errant replies is either you lack comprehension or you’re just using it as an excuse vomit your “brilliant” ideas with little care for the actual point. What, do you just want to see your ideas in type? Or are you just trying to get your e-dick rubbed by all the kids that like to see the “big bad liberal educator” really stick it to those pesky, faggoty, liberals? I can picture you sitting there all close to the screen feverishly typing away, "oooooo this will really get them, the guys will LOVE this". *******.
