do you people even know what the 2nd ammendment says ?

OP starts thread on 2nd Amendment but doesn't even understand it!

Typical "low information" Liberal/Socialist/Communist. :D

its conservatives not understanding it thats the problem, nowhere does it say people can have guns, never.

who are they talking about here?.........

the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed....

who are the PEOPLE?....
 
it gives the right to bear arms to a "well regulated militia", not to people, not to individuals or home or business owners, that was to legislate for the raising of a police force. lawyers argued that you or your house or your family could be considered a militia, which is why you have guns now, but that was never the intention and its not even what the constitution says.

LOL...poor widdle liberal..never heard of "The Minutemen" have ya!



too funny.....

You DO know why they were called "Minutemen", don't you?

It's because they could fire a musket, reload, and fire it again within a minute.

I don't think the Founding Fathers were thinking about weapons that could fire 60-300 rounds per minute.

That may be true.

However, as the Heller Court noted, we do not interpret Constitutional rights in that manner:

Just as the First Amendment protects modern forms of communications,
e.g., Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, 521 U. S. 844,
849 (1997), and the Fourth Amendment applies to modern
forms of search, e.g., Kyllo v. United States, 533 U. S. 27,
35–36 (2001), the Second Amendment extends, prima
facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms,
even those that were not in existence at the time of the
founding.

you know that.

i know that.

normal people know that.

scalia decided otherwise in heller... so until that is modified in some way, it is what it is...
 
the right to bear arms was never the right to wield military assault rifles that didnt exist when the constitution was written anyway, its crazy
 
so what, the army is composed of private citizens, so can people have a tank if they want too ? idiot
The militia is comprised of private citizens, not the army...That's why there are two separate words to describe and discern between them.

You really suck at the English language, dontcha? :lol::lol::lol:

Why not personal nuclear weapons? What's having a mere gun going to do against the power of the state?

how about the amount of people who they would be opposing?......and you are assuming that all the cops and Military would back this.....

Please be careful with that, as you well know the forces of ignorance and hate are attempting to have Griswold/Roe/Casey ‘modified.’
