The phrase is "well-regulated militia", not "militia with well-regulated weapons".
All of the words matter, not just the ones you like.
This isn't a debate scooter. The Supreme Court has already ruled in Heller, that the states do have the absolute power to regulate guns.
You lost this debate a long time ago.
The NRA in there arrogance thought they could spend millions to challenge the law, which the court promptly turned them down, and all of those regulations stand in place.
Now you have a new generation with the voting numbers to make those regulations even stiffer, and if they vote in the people they want, and the people who are currently refusing to do so out, they are going to get that done, and there isn't thing one you can do about it but whine like a little bitch on usmb.
See you down the road at the voting polls scooter.
This absolutely IS fucking a debate, "Scooter", because the Supreme Court has said a lot of things in its history that were wrong. AND because you leftist tyrants never consider ANYTHING to be the last word on a subject when it's not the word you want, so why should we? AND because we know you aren't going to drop YOUR side of the fight until all guns are outlawed. AND because this is America, and the First Amendment guarantees all of us the right to have opinions and disagree with any branch of the fucking government we want to, up to and including the "sainted" Supreme Court.
So if you can't handle the questions, admit it. But don't try to tell me I don't have the right to ask them.
The Heller decision gave the individual the right to keep a gun in the home for defense. It also gave the states the right to restrict certain types of firearms, or how they may or may not be carried.
I'll tell you what scooter. Take that alligator mouth of yours, and take a gun you are not supposed to have, some place you are not supposed to have it, and let us all know how that works out for you.
You be sure to tell the judge the supreme court is wrong, and that you can carry your gun where ever you want to. I'm sure the judge will come to his senses and let you go.
The Plessy v. Ferguson decision said that public facilities can be segregated. Should the American people have accepted that as an appropriate interpretation of the law and dropped the subject of civil rights, simply because the Supreme Court said so?
Citizens United said that corporations, labor unions, and other associations have a First Amendment right to spend money on political ads. You leftists haven't dropped THAT subject just because the Supreme Court said so.
Where did I lose you on the whole "First Amendment right to express opinions and disagree with the government"? Too many syllables?
Oh, btw, the Supreme Court does not "give" rights. No government entity does. All they can do is acknowledge them.
Heller is the law of the land whether you like it or not.
The challenge to it by the NRA which just currently happened was declined by the court.
You have no recourse.
Don't get caught with the wrong gun in the wrong place.
End of fucking discussion.
Heller does not restrict gun rights but ruled against DC's gun restrictions.
{... the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home, and that Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban and requirement that lawfully-owned rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock" violated this guarantee. ...}
So sure there can be restrictions, such as when you want to enter a place owed by someone else who does not want guns being brought into their private property. Rights have to be balanced between different individuals. And of course states can help do that with appropriate legislation.
