“Thus a musket would not be in common use in our time but an AR-15 would be.”
Nonsense.
The AR-15 platform has been the most popular rifle sold for decades, but the liberals don’t like it.
So it can’t be in common use.
Great, I'm in!
The editorial staff of Mother Jones would have all us “reactionaries” sent to GULAG labor camps had they the power to do so. They are incipient Lenin- and Stalin- worshipers, every one.
But first they have to take away the guns and that’s not going to happen now is it, “comrade”?
;^)
Libtards don’t have time for this now.
They are lurching left and fighting for their life.

We’ll see come midterms. Don’t ever underestimate both the GOP-e and Dems getting together with the globalist money supplying overlords and working to sink Trump and his agenda with this upcoming election. And we’ll be told by the media propaganda machine that “well the people rejected Trump” when in reality it will be money and fraud.

Winning. Not tired yet.
5.56mm
Gun control is finished.
Cody Wilson won his case.
If I were to travel back to the 80s and tell people that i’m from the future and this device in my hand can broadcast to the entire world and there’s little to nothing government can do about it, they’d all laugh and think I’m crazy. If you recall the furor about encryption in the 90s, you’ll understand. Now encryption is in everything.
With Defense Distributed’s winning decision this week, we are in the same place as it comes to firearms. It may seem kooky today, in 30 years, anyone will be able to produce firearms despite how hard governments attempt to crack down on it. Oh, sure there will be rules, penalties, jailing and such, but they won’t be able to stop it.
Like Judge Thomas and Judge Scalia and Alioto? Too many people just love being Debbie Downers and not allow any happiness.
I agree! I’m tired of being made to be a villain by the left, shall not be infringed is pretty plain English.
I think we’ll need to replace one more liberal SC justice with an originalist before things start to turn around. I don’t see Ginsberg living much longer and Sotomayor’s health is in question and Breyer is getting old.
On the minus side, Thomas has said that he has no intention of dying in the seat, so I think he’ll retire soon because I don’t think he’ll risk staying on and Trump not being re-elected and then having to try to outlive the next maybe liberal president for two terms.
The term “common use at the time” does not refer to the weapons used in 1791.
That idiotic argument aside, it doesn’t even begin to deal with the militia issues, nor with the Article 1, Section 8 power of Congress to issue “Letters of Marque and Reprisal.” Those are authorization for PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS to hijack enemy commercial shipping and to fight enemy warships, and necessarily presumes that those private individual possess powerful and modern weapons. I’d LOVE to see someone argue against THAT in front of Kavanaugh, who is supposed a fount of knowledge on the historical background to the Constitution. He’d tear them at least 2 or 3 new orifices.
“Winning. Not tired yet.”
Most people that I speak with that voted for him are like the guy with a sweet tooth who is given unlimited candy and pastries...we NEVER get tired of it, we just want more, more, MOOOOOOOOOORE!
Thank you, President Trump! These are going to be 8 of the happiest years in the lives of tens of millions of your fellow citizens (and not the least of the reasons for that is that these same 8 years will be the absolute WORST years of the lives of several tens of millions of our libtardian fellow citizens). Keep up the fantastic work!!!!
“Gun control is finished.
Cody Wilson won his case.”
In probably less than 10 years, the materials science behind 3-D printing will likely have advanced enough so that someone could buy a machine for about $1,000 - $2,000 that could quickly, and without error, make firearms that are as accurate and durable as any made in a “regular” gun factory.
See my tagline...and read van Vogt’s book, “The Weapons Shops of Isher,” for some background on where we are headed. As you might imagine for a fan of that book, I am absolutely ECSTATIC about what happened with the Defense Distributed case. This is a combination of Yorktown, VE Day and VJ Day and winning a huge Powerball lottery, all at once.
“On the minus side, Thomas has said that he has no intention of dying in the seat, so I think he’ll retire soon because I don’t think he’ll risk staying on and Trump not being re-elected and then having to try to outlive the next maybe liberal president for two terms.”
They make it sound like it’s a bad thing.
The Reid Rule obviates that, as long as the Republicans have a majority in the Senate.
I think it makes it less likely to have to settle for “dud’ like Souter but doesn’t eliminate it entirety because of squishes like Collins and Corker(my senator but not for long)
. . . but there is also the factor that during the campaign, Trump published a “long" list of 25 people he would consider for SCOTUS. He has now nominated two people from that list.The fact that Trump won election in that context puts an additional onus on whoever claims that such a nominee is “out of the mainstream” to make a coherent case.
If the Democrats could make that case about any one long-list person, their main chance to exploit that weakness was before the election. They didn’t whiff, exactly - they didn’t even swing at the pitch. Shame on them. Trump blew a fastball right by them, and they were not ready to swing.
In reality, they didn’t think they had to take Trump seriously. Now they should just put a paper bag on their head.
