Comprehension skills.....ZERO Dumbass using the tired argument that the founders never envisioned today's modern weapons. But then again, he is a college professor so he must be real real smart. Either that or he slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

And by his logic, censorship is completely constitutional as the founding fathers couldn’t have anticipated the computer and the internet when they wrote the 1st Amendment.

I was once foolish enough to think that lawyers were pretty sharp.

Thankfully, the Obamadork, the Holderfelon, and multiple “professors of law” have erased that incorrect conclusion.

high-capacity magazines = putting more cartridges in the magazine than it will reliably feed.

Otherwise it is standard capacity.

Whenever I want an explanation of the RKBA, I turn to a professor at Stanford (yeah, right.)

“But that doesn’t mean that you have a right to high-capacity magazines.”

I guess I missed that part of the 2nd amendment wording. Must have been next to the section where it says the people can only own single shot muzzle loading flintlocks.

Only a liberal could interpret “shall not be infringed” as advocating control.

[BitWielder1]

It makes sense - if you subscribe to the upside down world of liberals, where rights are wrong and wrongs are right.

“I support the right to self-defense,” said Donohue during the debate, according to The Stanford Review. “But that doesn’t mean that you have a right to high-capacity magazines.”

So, professor, that means that you do not have the right to be able to defend yourself against multiple assailants, or against government forces armed with high capacity magazines?

Comprehension skills.....ZERO Dumbass using the tired argument that the founders never envisioned today's modern weapons.

Exactly!

So, with that thought process do we now restrict the First Amendment because The Founders never envisioned the internet?

[Dead Corpse]

Well... Assuming this guy isn’t cut from the same cloth as Michale Bellisiles... Then he is clinically insane.

Of course, if he is, then he’s a fraud and needs to be fired immediately.

Hi cap magazines.

The Prof should look up when the Puckle gun was invented.

[faucetman]

Everyone should just laugh, in people like these, faces. To actually believe the things they do, they have to deny reality. I can’t say they are “ignorant”, because these are educated people. Another word comes to mind that is perfect.

ASININE

“an asinine stunt”

[TexasFreeper2009]

quote “restriction has to be at the core” of the right to carry a gun”

hm... lets play a game liberals...

lets replace “carry a gun” with “have an abortion” (which isn’t even in the constitution” and see how you feel about such a statement!

No. XIII of the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776’s Declaration of Rights stated, “That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and the state; and as standing armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; And that the military should be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.”

This was not drafted by Jefferson or Madison but by Robert Whitehill, Timothy Matlack, Dr. Thomas Young, George Bryan, James Cannon, and Benjamin Franklin. Jefferson probably copied this document.

There is no ambiguity as to what right to bear arms means in this Pennsylvania Constitution.

“I support the right to self-defense,” ...“But that doesn’t mean that you have a right to high-capacity magazines.”

“I support the right to religion,” ...“But that doesn’t mean that you have a right to pray in public.”

“I support the right to free speech,” ...“But that doesn’t mean that you have a right to publicly disagree with Obama.”

“I support the right to work,” ...“But that doesn’t mean that you have a right to not join a union.”

“I support the right to require warrants for searches,” ...“But that doesn’t mean that the state must get the warrant before the search.”

“I support the right of political dissent,” ...“But that doesn’t mean that you have a right to hold positions that I define as misguided.”

[Mr Rogers]

““It’s fanciful to think that guns in the hands of citizens acts as a realistic check,” said Donohue. “They’re not really trained to do so. And it’s fanciful to think that the military would ever turn on U.S. citizens.”

Maybe he should ask the Jews of Warsaw if they would have liked to own guns during WW2. Oh, but wait...they died fighting an army with almost nothing to do it with:

“Hundreds of people in the Warsaw ghetto were ready to fight, adults and children, sparsely armed with handguns, gasoline bottles, and a few other weapons that had been smuggled into the Ghetto by resistance fighters. Most of the Jewish fighters did not view their actions as an effective measure by which to save themselves, but rather as a battle for the honor of the Jewish people, and a protest against the world’s silence.”

Donohue explained that the Second Amendment must be interpreted in historical context. The founding fathers had no idea how powerful–and destructive–today’s weapons would become, he said.

Because the founding fathers were stupid? I can imagine things that could make today's weapons a lot more destructive. I can imagine ray guns. If they wanted to restrict us they would have said "keep and bare flintlocks".

High Capacity = more than one...
