..."well-regulated militia," an important qualifying clause in the Second Amendment...

Actually it has no legal significance whatsoever. It's only the "shall" clause that matters.

Don’t bother leaving a comment on that commie site. It will be removed immediately so as not to scare the mice.

Ammunition is an integral part of a firearm just like the trigger or firing pin.

[arthurus]

Bullets are “arms.”

[elkfersupper]

They're "cartridges".

One of the components that make up cartridges are "bullets".

Idiots.

Liberal logic is an assault on sanity and should be banned.

[Disambiguator]

And that "right to bear arms" is actually supposed to support the existence of a "well-regulated militia," an important qualifying clause in the Second Amendment that those in favor of free access to assault weapons usually ignore.

It would be nice if these jerks would consult a dictionary once in a while. The term "regulated" doesn't always mean "restricted by government." It also means "put in good order," and "conforming to a standard." This just might mean that the militia, when "well-regulated," is actually properly equipped for action, not restricted by idiotic gun-control laws.

Liberals are so damn ignorant - or else deliberately misleading. Mr. Blow-jet has conveniently forgotten two very recent US SC cases: In Heller v. Washington D.C. (2008) the Court found that the RKBA is an individual right of the people, i.e., that the operational clause in the 2nd Amendment is "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". And in MacDonald v. Chicago (2010) the Court reiterated this opinion and incorporated it under the 14th Amendment, thus applying it to the states.

How about we ban bears? we may have a right to bear arms, but if there are no bears to cut the arms off of, then the problem would be solved, no.

I, for one, would never have a couple of bear arms in my home, but respect the Constitutional right to have them.

[deimos]

this is acutally a brilliant idea. has anyone thought of applying it to heroin, cocaine, or meth? Maybe we should ban drunk drivers.

Why we should give crooked former securities analyst Henry Blodget the time of day, no less ventilate over his silly contribution to the people-control narrative is beyond me.

“Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Congress has no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American . . . . The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.”

– Tench Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette (February 20, 1788)
