We have militia weapons for the defense of ourselves, our neighbors, our state, and the country. And if necessary, against tyrants.
And by the way, the NFA '34 and GCA '68 (as amended) are UNCONSTITUTIONAL. End of story.
If I knew how to post the US map which depicts how much the gun laws have changed in the last 20 years to our favor, it might improve your moral a bit.
So would turning off MSNBC.
Gun control is kind of like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.
Please read the Second Amendment. Plainly, even in the modern sense of the word, it is about the militia being “regulated”, NOT THE PEOPLE! Commas have meaning!
I’m willing to compromise, however. If the projectile exceeds three pounds in mass and can explode on impact, the firearm should be registered with local law enforcement. Of course me agreeing with this restriction means anyone can carry anything they feel like in any manner they see fit anywhere they wish, except upon private property if the property owner chooses to restrict this freedom. Should a property owner choose to restrict the free bearing of arms on their property, they are responsible for ensuring the security of all people on their property at any time, and are liable for any loss if life, injury and personal property of their “guests”.
See! I can compromise.
The purpose of the Constitution is as a constraint on governmental power - the 2nd amendment being the constraint of last resort.
Why is that difficult for people to understand?
In part:
**And, given that, there probably isn't anything in the area of gun policy or mental health that could have been done to save us from them or them from each other.** **
maybe people should start pointing out that the second protects the constitution from Democrats
Hear hear.
