The 2nd amendment is the last bastion of freedom, meant to protect the constitution.
Seeing how brazen the attack is on the 1st amendment, without the 2nd we are doomed.
The founders would WANT the population to have the BEST weapons, in order to mount the BEST defense of the Constitution.
I love shooting my AR so much I have two them. They’re like sister wives to me.
Sorta.
The Founders wanted you to own an M-4, or an M-16, or a M-249 SAW.
Or an RPG or an ATGM or a MANPAD.
They intended us to be armed, at a minimum, like light infantry.
The founders wanted citizens to have the best arms available. It was the citizen that provided the first response to trouble. The only thing that has changed is the number of tyrannical people in government that do not understand that concept.
And if ‘Dick Durbin Before He Dicks You’ was right, we could each have a cannon too. And one of those wicked triangular bayonets.
Federal govt auctioned cannons and ammo left over from the Civil war to the public NY & Phil’s newspapers 1866 +. You could buy a machine gun until 1922. You could bring AK47s n grenades right thru the SF airport 1965-67 from Vietnam n nobody cared. I did troop transport with GI’ s exiting nam.
I believe Durbin is up for reelection this year. He’s using the hearings for free TV time. Although I’m sure he’d love SCOTUS to rule against all modern firearms.
The firing ranges at military bases (both small arm and crew-served weapons), including the Service Academies, need to be opened up to civilian training. National and State Parks need to have ranges added as well, with as much unrelenting effort as enforcing compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
AR 15s seem to be as rare as hens teeth these days...
Anyone know of a place online you can order and have it delivered locally?
The Founders Wanted You to Own an AR-15
To this day some people can’t understand why people left England to live in an unsettled land.
As I’ve viewed here many times before:
“The Letters of Marque clause presupposes the private possession of Battleships”
Guess I better look into that. Maybe margabby kellygiffords can give me some pointers on how best to buy one. :-)
When the First Amendment was written, we were talking about manuscripts and manually-operated printing presses.
. we were talking about the likelihood that a person could purchase a muzzle-loading musket.
= = =
And the ‘journalists’ would set type by hand.
Actually, full-auto is OK.
Those muzzle loaders fired all their ammo with a single trigger pull.
... and fully loaded battle ships, and field artillery, and hand-grenades, and Puckle guns, and...
And yes, non-violent felons should have their full Rights restored once they have completed their probation requirements. Or do people still think that people like Wesley Snipes and Martha Stewart, who both committed non-violent felonies and served time, are "dangers to society"?
Ok... Maybe Martha... But I want at least one more Blade movie out of Snipes...
They wanted us to own several.
I know some people in New Mexico that are dedicated to their right to bear arms, but would never even dream of voting for a Republican. Maybe this election will be different.
