The Right To Bear Arms

[mudwhistle]

Wingnuts haven't said or done anything to convince anyone that assualt weapons are a part of the second ammendment so in that way, yes, it is obsolete.

The Supreme Court disagrees with you.

District of Columbia v. Heller:

United States v. Miller, 307 U. S. 174 , does not limit the right to keep and bear arms to militia purposes, but rather limits the type of weapon to which the right applies to those used by the militia, i.e., those in common use for lawful purposes

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA v. HELLER

United States v. Miller

The signification attributed to the term Militia appears from the debates in the Convention, the history and legislation of Colonies and States, and the writings of approved commentators. These show plainly enough that the Militia comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense. "A body of citizens enrolled for military discipline." And further, that ordinarily, when called for service these men were expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time.

United States v. Miller

What weapons are in common use right now?

If the government were to say that the only private gun that is legal is a single shot musket that would be in opposition of the meaning of the constitution. The point of any militia is to be effective in mounting a defense against foreign and domestic invaders.


The only reason we're even talking about this now is Obama wanted to invent another "important issue" he could use to divide us with.

Who was it that said "A house divided against itself cannot stand". - Abraham Lincoln


Enemies of this nation believe in division. Pitting one against another. Obama refuses to adhere to the number one goal of a good leader, to foster unity of purpose. He can only divide and marginalize.

Actually, Lincoln was quoting Jesus Christ when he said that.

The minute you consider the rest of the constitution obsolete, it will be obsolete.. but at that moment, you will have those that swore to defend the constitution stepping up to defend it against the likes of the OP

I don't think there are enough of us.....

There were plenty of times in history when there were not enough to defend something.. it did not stop them from giving everything to defend it though... and sometimes, it was found that it was enough, even with great losses

That's when the hand of Divine Providence steps in.

It's an Eternal Truth.

The courts will say no.

Like with so many other things..the courts corrupted original intent.

Christ never existed.

So..Lincoln might as well as quoted Hercules.

That is correct.

It was the founding fathers' intent to create yet another enslaved communist nation.

Say what? you have definitive proof right?


what don't need it,opinion always trumps.

And yet, we have the eye witness accounts of countless people who disagree with your non-supported assertion.

And that would be what??

 

[Quantum Windbag]

The courts will say no.

For once, I have to agree with you. The courts used to think that everyone was allowed guns, then conservatives got into the courts and forced people to give up their guns. It wasn't until the pendulum started to swing back recently that the whole mess got straightened out.

:sigh:

But no.

And you wouldn't and will never get it.

By the way..it kind of was a good idea. Just to far thinking.

But you will never ever understand that.

Has human nature changed?

Have people stopped doing evil things and threatening innocent people?

Have politicians learned to respect the sovereignty of the people and stop trying to micromanage their existence?

If not, then of course it isn't obsolete. You'd have to be an idiot to think that or completely ignorant of the purpose of the Second amendment which is to protect our right to self defense and prevent tyranny and oppression.

When the people fear the government, we have tyranny. When the government fears it's people, then we have freedom.

consistent ,lame but reliable.

 

[Rinata]

well congrats to all the liberals here.

The people that claim to be the authors of the Constitution

In openly admitting that freedom is so passe.


thank you for your honesty

That is not what was said. You are choosing to misinterpret what has been said here the same way you choose to misinterpret the 2nd amendment.

I know you and some of your friends like posting irrelevant pictures and pretending they actually mean something or make you smart, but you just make yourself look stupid doing it. It's wiser to remain silent and look like a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
