" Nowhere does it say you have the right to bear firearms. Just Arms. "
You're a Prog dumb ****.
Hey, I am not the one that wanted to use it in the literal sense. But since you rightwinggunnutters want to, let's do it. Now, tell me again that the 2nd amendment doesn't need updated. When you use it in the literal sense as you people have been hammering us to do, all of a sudden it has an entirely different meaning.
daryl are you ever going to tell us what an update would look like if you wrote it????
I am going to have to give that some thought. I was hoping we could hash it out as a group so everything gets considered. One person may not be smart enough to get it right the first time. And I imagine if I do present something, it's going to be bullied and beaten even if it does make sense. But trust me, it's not going to give the Feds an damned thing with the exception of controlling really extraordinary weapons much like it does now like the big nasty stuff and full auto weapons.
But I would probably add just the Heller Ruling with it leaving everything else to the States and lower governments. Okay, here goes.
We keep the 1934 Firearms Act.
We combine the 1934 Firearms Act with Heller V. D.C. and the 1998 Firearms Act. We also add in ALL gun sales require background checks because those may cross state lines. We don't rewrite the 2nd amendment since that amendment no longer makes any sense in todays world. So we introduce a new Amendment. Then the 10th can be the force behind the State Rights on the rest of it much like it is today. No new real laws written only the compilation of existing laws and current the one ruling rulings refer back to anyway.
The reason we completely dump the 2nd amendment is that we no longer have the ability to have an organized Militia. Add to the fact, even without that idea, the US Military doesn't have the horsepower to actually take on the Civilian population on a protracted time period and win if the worst fears came to be and the military actually did back the bad Federal Government. Then add in the fact the Military would not follow an illegal government, it's in their UCMJ which is their Constitution. Trust me, the Federal Government fears us much more than we should fear them.
