Damn right it's typical... typical GENIUS!
Cost of healthcare for everyone ? Too gorram much, because it never ends. The bills keep coming.
Cost of a gun ? Damn near peanuts, and you buy it just once!

So you do not own a gun, figures.
Or are you rich?

Chrissy - compare the cost of buying a gun ( minus the ammo, accessories ) and then compare that to the ANNUAL cost of health care, and even if you're buying a top of the line sniper rifle, I'd say the gun is the... logical choice.

Rap, as always, represents nothing more than the furthest-out, unthinking mentality he always does. He's not worth addressing.
And yes, I'll be curious to see what the NRA comes up with, and have little doubt it will NOT be something actually helpful.
Amusingly, if one were to calculate the cost to those of us WITH insurance for all the people without it who get treated by emergency rooms, and add THAT to the cost of guns, it would so far outweigh the cost of health insurance for all that it would make Rap's head spin. Which means nothing to Rap, any more than any other logic ever will.

McDonald v. Chicago, 561 US 3025 (2010), was a landmark[1] decision of the Supreme Court of the United States that determined whether the Second Amendment applies to the individual states. The Court held that the right of an individual to "keep and bear arms" protected by the Second Amendment is incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and applies to the states. The decision cleared up the uncertainty left in the wake of District of Columbia v. Heller as to the scope of gun rights in regard to the states.
Initially the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit had upheld a Chicago ordinance banning the possession of handguns as well as other gun regulations affecting rifles and shotguns, citing United States v. Cruikshank, Presser v. Illinois, and Miller v. Texas.[2] The petition for certiorari was filed by Alan Gura, the attorney who had successfully argued Heller, and Chicago-area attorney David G. Sigale.[3] The Second Amendment Foundation and the Illinois State Rifle Association sponsored the litigation on behalf of several Chicago residents, including retiree Otis McDonald.
The oral arguments took place on March 2, 2010.[4][5] On June 28, 2010, the Supreme Court, in a 5–4 decision, reversed the Seventh Circuit's decision, holding that the Second Amendment was incorporated under the Fourteenth Amendment thus protecting those rights from infringement by local governments.[6] It then remanded the case back to Seventh Circuit to resolve conflicts between certain Chicago gun restrictions and the Second Amendment.

The National Rifle Association just won a major court case in Chicago, providing a huge victory for Second Amendment proponents and gun owners.
Illinois is one of the most anti-gun states in America. Its hostility toward the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is demonstrated in a state law that forbids the carrying of firearms outside the home. There are narrow exceptions for classes of persons such as police officers, or under restrictions that keep the firearm from being readily usable, such as being kept unloaded in a locked case.
Two cases brought by gun owners supported by the NRA challenged this restriction that leaves people defenseless outside their homes, suing Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan.
On Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit issued its two-to-one decision in Chicago, siding with gun owners in Moore v. Madigan.
The opinion was written by Judge Richard Posner, a Reagan appointee who often leans left on some issues (including guns) but is also regarded as one of the most brilliant minds on the federal bench.
Posner noted that in D.C. v. Heller, the Supreme Court held the Second Amendment secures an individual's right against the federal government to possess a firearm in one's home, and that in McDonald v. Chicago the justices held this is a fundamental right that also applies against state and local governments.
He went on to concede "the Supreme Court has not yet addressed whether the Second Amendment creates a right of self-defense outside the home."
Nonetheless, he cont
