Who is Your Favorite Avenger?

Yes, he means the Second Amendment [wikipedia.org], that was ratified together with the other first ten as the Bill of Rights [wikipedia.org]. So, if you mean it wasn't ratified the same way as XI-XXVII were, then yes, I suppose. If you mean the same way as, say, the First Amendment prohibiting restrictions on freedom of speech or free exercise of religion, or the Fourth, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures, than no, it was ratified exactly the same way.

Interestingly enough, those also happen to be 2 other of the most ignored parts of the US Constitution. Actually, never mind, that would be the Tenth Amendment, which explicitly states that any rights not granted to the Federal government or restricted from the states belongs to the states or to the people. You know, the amendment that more or less strictly forbids... hell, just about everything the federal government does these days except maybe defense and building roads. The federal government does still build roads, right? I'm a little confused, since it seems they mainly just give money to corporations or pass laws protecting copyright these days .

Thor, Iron Man, Ant Man, Wasp, the Hulk, Captain America, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, the Swordsman, Giant-Man I, Giant-Man II, Hercules, Black Panther, Vision, the Black Knight, Black Widow, Mantis, the Beast, Moondragon, Hellcat, the Two-Gun Kid, Wonder Man, Yellowjacket, Ms. Marvel, Falcon, Tigra, She-Hulk, Captain Marvel II, Dr. Druid, Namor, Starfox, Mockingbird, the Thing, War Machine, Moon Knight, Firebird, Demoliton Man, the Forgotten One, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, US Agent, Quasar, the Human Torch, Sersi, Stingray, Spider-man, Sandman, Rage, Machine Man, the Living Lightning, Spider-woman, Crystal, Thunderstrike, Darkhawk, Justice, Firestar, Triathlon, Silverclaw, Jack of Hearts, Ant-Man II, Captain Britain, Luke Cage, Sentry, Echo, Ares, Amadeus Cho, Stature, Valkyrie, Sharon Carter, Nova, Iron Fist, Power Woman, Protector, Dr. Strange, and Red Hulk

would be nigh to impossible to all get in the same movie ... particularly as some of them are the same person.

The problem with the second amendment isn't the original intent, it's that those with that original intent could not have imagined what the word arms would come to represent. The fact is we have to draw a line somewhere when it comes to weapon ownership. Where we draw the line is debatable, but I've yet to meet one person who would advocate an individual's right to own nuclear weapons. If you consider that the far end of the continuum of arms and the muskets and rifles the original framers of the constitution understood to be arms on the other end, somewhere in between is the demarcation line of what people should be allowed to own.

Unless you're willing to concede that all weapons, including nuclear, biological, chemical and everything that mankind thinks up in the future, are fair game for individuals to own, you can't be upset about people arguing where that line should be drawn just because the weapons you want to own are on the wrong side.

So, to all the 2nd amendment proponents out there...do you support the right to own nukes and anthrax/serin/etc? If not, what rationale do you have for saying that the lines should be drawn excluding those arms while including assault rifles and the like?

first "Avenger" I had a bit of a crush on: Diana Rigg as Emma Peel

hottest drawn image from the Marvel Avengers: Black Widow (I DO love a redhead).

character of the set that I'd most rather have as an SO: Wasp (physically attractive, rich, and, man, what an attitude, 'specially in the current animated series; too bad she's got a thing for Pym).
