Don't look now, Marty is defining words in the constitution to serve his agenda. Love the irony.Yes, they are "like artillery", personal artillery, and an explosive device, not an arm.
Artillery are missile launchers like ballista or trebuchet. Or large bore guns. Neither of which fits a grenade. As I said, a rifle is far more like Artillery than a grenade is. So why not grenades? Simply 'declaring' that they aren't arms is the Begging the Question fallacy. You'll have to factually establish it. And you can't.
The Arms Trade Treaty of which the US is a signatory includes grenades, missile launchers, machine guns and the like as arms. The Arms Export Control Act defines arms as all of the above....plus howitzers, planes, tanks and the like.
By both international law and domestic law, arms include grenades, machine guns, missile launchers, automatic rifles. And far, far more. So who are you quoting when you insist that grenades and the like aren't 'arms'? Yourself, apparently....contradicted by US law.
And for the 9th time, what about automatic rifles. What about SAW light machine guns? What about anti-personnel mines? What about missile launchers.
The whole "big bad weapons" argument is the real strawman.
Why should I be denied concealed carry of a 9mm handgun?
Strawman. I haven't made that argument. I've asked you questions you refuse to answer, despite overwhelming evidence demonstrating that you're wrong in your assumptions.
A grenade is not an "arm" as envisioned in the constitution, stop getting hung up on grenades.
Its an explosive, which was the realm of artillery.
and as for a SAW? I do not see the need for a person to own one, but I support the right of a person to own one because you gun grabbing twats will use anything to make your point that I should be disarmed.
There has to be a compelling government interest in squelching a right, besides a surface to air missile not being a real arm, the governments interest in limiting ownership outweighs the desire of a person to own one.
And a rifle is not, and has never been artillery. Stick to talking about fucking people over about cakes, its your area of expertise.
well, he should read Justice Breyer's dissent. It may not be the law temporarily, but it's the correct assessment.... unlike Scalia's partisan insanity.
Lol, and Breyer isn't partisan????
You. Fucking. Hack.
you can laugh... but breyer is consistent with our precedent and constitutional caselaw. scalia is a wacko. I can't wait til he retires.
and why should you read it? because he's correct and you'd learn something.
