Just as the Government of King George III violated our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness...
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.Nothing is ever off of the table, but I will not attempt to make misleading assurances about it, as neither would I attempt to decide for myself when the need ever would arise.
Absolutely false. There are many purposes for firearms (guns). The termination of life for one or a few malevolent lives using instruments of physical incapacitation and/or death is the safety, preservation, and extension of the lives and property of a plurality of others. That is what 2nd Amndt is about.
Let him try it
You are insane
It is the citizens right to be able to protect himself from the government
Yes, and when it appeared evident that Germany would be overrun, a Hitler wanted everyone armed.
“There is no mention in the Second Amendment about an individual right to own and bear arms. “
They ALWAYS get this backwards. ALL rights and freedoms not explicitly laid out in to the Feds in the Constitution are reserved to the States or the People. The People, being made up of individuals, obviously have all rights to keep and bear arms. The 2nd Amendment was merely meant to clarify this point.
They do not want to get this correct. This is intentionally misinterpreting the language.
Leftists want you disarmed so they can exterminate you and I by the millions. These are the same people that demand the right to murder babies, folks.
See???! All they want to ban, are semi-automatic firearms. And lever-action. And pump-action. And revolvers. And single-shot. And break-open actions. And muzzle-loaders. And lead. And gunpowder. And all forms of metal. And people. And rocks. And sticks. And the planet Earth. And the solar system. And the galaxy. And the universe. And God.
I mean, be REASONABLE. This is COMMON SENSE.
I guess this man did not read about the hero who stopped a mass shootimg at a mall…..
I was not proposing banning weapons, I just posted an article written by someone else about it.
It is now more than evident that it is very dangerous for a society to forbid the widespread distribution and ownership of weapons whose sole purpose is to destroy human life.
A true ‘close the door after the horse is out’ suggestion.
Yep. Just for the sake of argument...I’ll give up some gun rights when you give up some abortion rights - both do nothing but kill right?
Yeah, thought so.
Not necessarily. I’ve shot skeet for many years with a Remington 1100 semi auto with a skeet bore choke. Works quite well.
Unless something drastically changed, I rarely see a semi in the skeet or trap or clays fields. O/U doubles.
Fixed it.
Indeed, something about militia, security, free state, right to arms, oh, and “ the people”.
Hard to miss that operative clause.
State, militia are the people.
The problem seems to be a lack of context. In today’s USA, the statist mentality exists, the basic principles of limited government by consent of the governed is a foreign idea.
The rest of the world s systems are mistakenly substituted for our theory of government.
It’s a good thing we are a peaceable people.
Assertions from cretans like this just make you want
to throw down.
Some wise man once said “ an armed man may be persuaded, an unarmed man can be forced”.
I simply chose to be the former.
