Still the BEST EVER explanation of the 2nd Amendment​

We now come back to those words so loved by the gun grabbers, “well regulated militia.” Knocking down this silly little argument is vitally important because the gun grabbers’ notion that says the Second Amendment reads, in essence, “militias are acceptable” is simply and undeniably the only arrow in their quiver. Take that from them, and they are finished. Liberals do not maintain that the Second Amendment says “We can take your guns.” They believe (or pretend to believe) that the Second Amendment reads, “Militias are acceptable.” Being wholly ignorant of the doctrine of enumerated powers, liberals think this is enough to deny us our gun rights; for if the federal government, unrestrained by an enumeration, was empowered to legislate on all matters not put off limits by the Bill of Rights, and if the Second Amendment actually did read “militias are acceptable,” then the federal government would indeed have the authority to regulate our ownership of firearms. "...But readers of this magazine know better. A constitutional amendment that reads “militias are acceptable,” no more gives the federal government the authority to legislate against guns than it does the authority to tell me what color I may dye my hair, or what size carburetor I may put under my hood. If I had a right to buy guns before the “militias are acceptable” amendment was enacted, then I have a right to buy guns afterward."

1,000,000 Americans have been killed by guns since 1960.

If you own a gun, you or a member of your family is seven times more likely to die of gun violence. Why? Because a gun in the house is much more likely to be used by an angry spouse or depressed teenager to kill themselves or others, than it is to be used for self defense.

As Nancy Lanza found out.

That we need militia was just given as a reason why the right to bear arms shall not be infringed.

Said right exists separate and distinct from the reference to militia in the 2nd. The right to bear arms itself is not dependent on militia requirements.

The argument before us therefore is not whether we need a well-regulated militia in the 21st century, but what exactly constitutes an infringement on the 'right to bear arms. '

Wow, where did you get that info Chris? I know you couldn't have just pulled that out of your ass right?

I "Googled" that but I can only find it linked to some comment posting robot named "chris33" going as far back as 2008.

#1 cause of Death in the US?

Suicide.

What could be causing all these Suicides? Could it be that 47% of all Americans are on some form of Prescription Drug?

No f*ckin' way!

Why do Progressives hate America so much?

I promise you all the FF didn't create the constitution with free HC for all, free college education for all, rampant illegal immigration for anyone who wants to be here, wars started on a whim by presidents, mass food stamps and the reading of the second amendments as the "right to not own weapons" as their intensions.

You know when it’s put like that you wonder how people can even describe America as “free” with a straight face…


Oh, and the general welfare clause allows the assassination of US citizens (Thanks for that one Obama) to forcing people to buy stuff from companies… Is there anything that can’t be forced upon the people under the broad reading of the general walfare clause?

This message is hidden because Mr. Shaman is on your ignore list.

Yeah I still bet I didn't miss anything... Does he still post like a spamming advertisement for porn?

Really? Stand 20 feet away from me and hurt me without moving.

I'll give you some ammo you can throw at me, overhand or underhand, your choice.

Come on, people....

You want a person to kill you?

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

LOL

I foresee a day when SCOTUS will reinterpret the Second Amendment - since the word "Militia" no longer applies. America has the most powerful standing army in the world.

The world 'miliita' means nothing to the actual right to bear arms, assfuck.

They only pointed it out as a reason why the right shall never be INFRINGED.

Nancy Lanza violated the first rule of responsible gun ownership, she allowed someone she knew to be unstable access. Had she properly stored her weapons this would not have happened. Machines don't screw up, people screw up. Nancy Lanza and 26 others paid the ultimate price for her negligence, and now the gun grabbers want to exact a price from responsible people by taking away their rights. My opinion, fuck you!

The issue you will run into is trying to explain personal responsibility to a Progressive. There is no such thing, for instance it’s always some other group of peoples fault why they failed.

They were killed by people using guns.... but we'll use your statement.

How many people have been killed by cars since 1960?

How many people have been killed by late term abortions since 1960?

Why do you liberal numbuts not want to control cars or abortions based upon the number of deaths by each?

Here's another approach! Places that have strict gun control have higher gun crimes than places that don't. Why do you liberal numbnuts still want more gun control?

I know! I know!

It's the World's Gone Crazy Cotillion!
