This one requires a little thinking of the viewer. That may be asking a lot of many anti-gun zealots, but the juxtaposition of an anti-Second Amendment stance being enforced by men with guns is just too bold to ignore.

Tired of anti-gun, anti-freedom Facebook posts? Next time one pops up, just drop one of these patriotic Second Amendment memes as your response.
Memes are often used in social media conversations when real thinking is lacking. Most of them are pretty lame but can be very funny.
So here are ten Second Amendment memes that make sense, are intelligent and cut to the quick of any anti-gun, anti-liberty nonsense talk you may encounter.
Use them freely and prejudicely!

I don’t know about you, but I get awfully tired of the left trying to compare America with other countries like Sweden or Australia. America is the single greatest country the world has ever known. Who cares what they do in any other country?
Speaking to the foolish argument from gun control zealots who say that the Second Amendment was written with single shot muskets in mind.
That's right, "need" is not a requirement to exercise a right.
For the argument that the Second Amendment pertains to hunting. See the rest of the 10 2nd amendments memes here
I wish I could copy the text of these.
On Gun Control...
Yes, all very good points.
What is missing from this is comment about whether our rights vary by state or community that we live or travel in. I’m in Boston Logan this morning, after a week in Massachusetts. Had to leave my gun at home, because my constitutional rights did not extend to my visit here.
The last one is the best. I’ve used it to stump a couple of leftist gun control freaks that were arguing the 2nd amendment only applies to militia members. They stammered like drunken fools!
Some folks say that in the Constitution the word "militia" refers to a state militia. That would be today's National Guard. They are wrong. The Founders intended every adult citizen to comprise the militia. We are the militia.
That's why the Second Amendment talks about the right of the people to keep and bear arms, not the right of the individual states to keep and bear arms.
“Some folks say that in the Constitution the word “militia” refers to a state militia. That would be today’s National Guard.”
The militia is not just the National Guard. The National Guard is part of the organized militia. Those who are not in the National Guard and who otherwise qualify are in the unorganized militia.
Note:
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
> The militia is not just the National Guard. <
Agreed! My point was that gun-grabbers try to twist the Second Amendment’s wording to mean that it applies to the National Guard only. They are wrong, and the U.S. Code you cited is more evidence of that.
But no U.S. Code is really necessary. The Second Amendment talks about the “people”. That’s something that the gun-grabbers conveniently ignore.

That’s why they created a block command.

No offense, but that’s a Leftist tactic: bury one’s head in the sand.
Freedom does not persist by allowing the opposition to have a platform while we stay quiet. We should be willing to debate on any front, at any time.
Now, as Leftists, if they CONTINUE to be ignorant *after* the discussion....
No, that’s a rational tactic. Cut the people making the toxic comments out of your FB feed entirely.
Refer these idiots to Madison’s Federalist Papers #46. He speaks of the army (which could only be supported at a level of about 1% of the population - then 25,000 - 30,000) not being able to impose its (i.e. the federal government’s) will upon the states...because they’d be opposed by 500,000 members of the militia. 500K out of a population of about 3 million people - Madison was CLEARLY talking about every able-bodied male being in the militia, and necessarily having to show up with his OWN weapon(s) and ammunition. There can be NO other interpretation.
Federalist #46 - that’s the answer to those incredibly ignorant “some folks” of which you speak.
Thanks for posting this - excellent memes to spread around. I particularly like the last one.

Okay, I’m dreaming here. The Federalist Papers offer deep insight into how the Founders thought about things. It would have been nice if - somehow - the Founders had made the Federalist Papers explicitly part of the Constitution.
Bookmark.
” would have been nice if - somehow - the Founders had made the Federalist Papers explicitly part of the Constitution.”
Nonetheless, you can still point these idiots to that document, and remind them that Madison is the principal author of the Constitution...so he just MIGHT have had some insight into what the “militia” was, and was intended to be.
Oh, and you might also refer the same idiots to Article 1, Section 8 - the enumerated powers of Congress. Among them is the power to issue “Letters of Marque and Reprisal.”
Well, what in the F are THOSE? Glad you asked. Basically, a federal privateering/pirating license. Issued to PRIVATE people (or companies). To raid foreign warships and merchants ships...which, presumably, have the means to defend themselves. So you’re not going to use that Letter of Marque and Reprisal that the Congress so thoughtfully issued to you with a quill and ink, are you? Nope, you’re going to raid those MF’ers with a ship load of your OWN (privately owned) crew-served cannon and other weapons.
You see where I’m going with this, aren’t you? Letters of Marque and Reprisal make NO sense outside of a VERY heavily-armed (i.e. with crew-served cannon, at a minimum) weapons. The Founders were no dummies...they would not have written that clause into the body of the Constitution (not in a then hoped-for amendment, the BODY of the document itself) unless it could have been put into force instantly. So they assumed that well-armed militia. None of this “you can’t have a machine gun on a tripod, because it is a crew-served weapon and not something you can carry yourself” nonsense. The Founders were ARMED REVOLUTIONARIES - they understood the nature of government, and they wanted the people of this country to run the government, not the other way around. What better way that a population armed to the f’ing teeth?
I think that, disappointed as they might be in many ways at what we’ve allowed our country to become, they’d be proud to know that we have over 400 million firearms in civilian hands. There’s no messing with a population like that - exactly as the Founders intended.
