This "Right to bare arms" that so many US citizens speak of. If they can't spell, what hope do we have for their aim with a gun? Or do they REALLY mean wearing short sleeved shirts?

LOL, so true. I do doubt the common american's ability to handle a gun, esp when they blindly look down the barrel(I used to teach basic safety
-
Sad but possibly true, although I know a person who can barely read, let alone spell, but is aces with a rifle and handgun.

aiming a gun and learning how to spell involve completely different parts of the brain and require a different type of intelligence altogether. and i should honestly hope that you don't trust me around a gun - i personally don't. but i think i can type fairly well. and then my cousin isn't the greatest at school but can hit a moving target with great ease

Hahahaha! I love you, Freddy! There's a huge difference between the right to bare arms and the right to bear arms! I think it's pretty scary that barely literate people can own guns.

"bare" or "bear"...I prefer "the right to arm bears"! :)

Spelling is insignificant as long as you get your point across.

Right to bare whats? Last fall a group of Swedish women won the right to bare breasts by doing just that in public swimming pools. The Swedish court decided that if men could bare their "breasts," then women had the same right. Equal rights for women, yeah. BTW, the third week of January is Breast Appreciation Week, isn't it?

By your statement we can also infer that anyone with less than perfect grammar should also be debarred of other essential civil rights. What other rights shall we willy-nilly strip away while we're at it? Once you get rid of self-defense its easy to take away the other ones, after all what are they going to do about it? Judging one's intelligence by their grammatical skill is a fatal error. I've known plenty of 'good old boys' who could barely spell their own name but had a better grasp of the reality of things than most professors. For that matter, my doctor who I would trust with my life (otherwise he would not be my doctor) has atrocious spelling, even simple words elude him. Simply because one cannot spell does not make them an idiot, not everyone is the same, we all have our strengths and weaknesses.
