As i keep rotating the type of stick i use, its normally a thick one that causes the knuckle joint discomfort.

Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2005 11:24:57 -0400 Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net The 2nd Amendment, starting in the latter half of the 20th century, became an object of much debate. Concerned with rising violence in society, and the role firearms play in that violence, gun control advocates began to read the 2nd Amendment one way. On the other side, firearm enthusiasts saw the attacks on gun ownership as attacks on freedom, and defended their interpretation of the 2nd Amendment just as fiercely. If the authors of the 2nd Amendment could have foreseen the debate, they might have phrased the amendment differently, because much of the debate has centered around the way the amendment is phrased. Is the amendment one that was created to ensure the continuation and flourishing of the state militias as a means of defense, or was it created to ensure an individual's right to own a firearm. Despite the rhetoric on both sides of the issue, the answer to both questions is most likely, "Yes." The attitude of Americans toward the military was much different in the 1790's than it is today. Standing armies were mistrusted, as they had been used as tools of oppression by the monarchs of Europe for centuries. In the war for independence, there had been a regular army, but much of the fighting had been done by the state militias, under the command of local officers. Aside from the war, militias were needed because attacks were relatively common, whether by bandits, Indians, and even by troops from other states. Today, the state militias have evolved into the National Guard in every state. These soldiers, while part-time, are professionally trained and armed by the government. No longer are regular, non-Guardsmen, expected to take up arms in defense of the state or the nation (though the US Code does still recognize the unorganized militia as an entity, and state laws vary on the subject [10 USC 311]). This is in great contrast to the way things were at the time of adoption of the 2nd Amendment. Many state constitutions had a right to bear arms for the purposes of the maintenance of the militia. Many had laws that required men of age to own a gun and supplies, including powder and bullets http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_2nd.html What state are you in? Although Technically we are all militia your state may not allow one to exist. Same as we all have the right to bear arms (as per the constitution) but in NJ you need a license for a gun and a special permit to carry. (where are my rights to bear arms?) The fed gov says I can carry a weapon as I see fit. But yet I cannot if the state deems my reason on my application is not acceptable I do NOT have a right to bear arms. So yes I agree with you the law is there but I disagree that is is usable thanks to additional laws put in place after the constitution. Therefore those people are a mob unless the gov. says it was OK to form as a militia.

Nice article! I also finally got around to looking at the preview on the Dog Brothers website, Guru Crafty looks 7' tall next to Guru Brown :) Seriously, it looks like a great DVD I'm going to have to pick it up. Question for Guru Crafty: Any plans to train a fighter specifically for a MMA event? If so let us know. I'd love to see the fight :) respects -Brian ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs --__--__-- Message: 7 Date: Mon, 01 Aug 2005 13:04:38 -0400 From: Khalkee@netscape.net To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] Calluses Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Concerned re: calluses ... wear work or weightlifting gloves. I always train with thin work gloves. Doesn't prevent calluses entirely, just spreads the process out, i.e., you won't usually develope the kind that tear. Your entire gripping contact gets tuff. __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.
