Thank you for proving that you cannot show original intent of the 2nd or how 2A jurisprudence corrupts it, as per your claim.
Just like I said.
I already have.
Another lie.
Disagree?
Please cite the post and the text found therein where you:
- illustrated the original intent of the 2nd
- described how 2A jurisprudence corrupts it.
We both know you will, again, fail to do so.
In my gun club's coffee shop a fellow member said, we should have the same open carry laws they have in Israel -- cuz they don't have much gun violence in Israel.
Knowing absolutely nothing about Israel's gun violence or gun laws, I looked up Israel's gun laws. If Wikipedia's info is correct, it looks to me like (with a tweak here and there) Israel's gun laws are lot like the SCOTUS' 1903 interpretation of it's own 1792 interpretation of the 2nd Amendment. How does SCOTUS' interpretation(s) match up with your interpretation of "original intent"
Israel[edit]
A firearms license is required to own firearms and air pistols and rifles. Soldiers are allowed to carry their personal weapons and ammunition together while on furlough during active service, uniformed or in civilian clothing. Self-defense firearms may be carried in public, concealed or openly, together with ammunition, without needing any additional permits. Israel is notable for being a country with few places where firearms are off limits to licensed individuals (private premises, some government offices and institutions, courts).
To obtain a gun license, an applicant must be a resident of Israel for at least three consecutive years, have no criminal record, be in good health, have no history of mental illness, pass a weapons-training course, and be over a certain age:
- 20 for women who completed military service or civil service equivalent
- 21 for men who completed military service or civil service equivalent
- 27 for those who did not complete military service or civil service equivalent
- 45 for residents of East Jerusalem.
Gun licenses must be renewed every three years and permits are given only for personal use, not for business in the firearms sale while holders for self-defense purposes may own only one handgun, and may purchase a maximum of fifty rounds a year, except for those shot at firing ranges.
The list of below personnel are eligible for licenses allowing them to possess firearms:
- Israel Defense Forces officers honorably discharged with the rank of non-commissioned officer
- Reservists honorably discharged with the rank of regimental commander
- Ex–special forces enlisted men
- Retired police officers with the rank of sergeant
- Retired prison guards with the rank of squadron commander
- Licensed public transportation drivers transporting a minimum of five people
- Full-time dealers of jewellery or large sums of cash or valuables
- Civil Guard volunteers
- Residents of militarily strategic buffer zones considered essential to state security
- Such personnel are allowed to possess one handgun.
- Reservists honorably discharged with the rank of regimental commander are also eligible for licences allowing them to possess one rifle.
- Licensed hunters may possess one shotgun
- Licensed animal-control officers are allowed to possess two rifles
- Civil Guard snipers may possess one rifle.
In addition to private licenses of firearms, organizations can issue carry licenses to their members for activity related to that organization (e.g. security companies, shooting clubs, other workplaces).
Members of officially recognized shooting clubs (practical shooting, Olympic shooting) are eligible for personal licenses allowing them to possess additional firearms (small bore rifles, handguns, air rifles, and air pistols) after demonstrating a need and fulfilling minimum membership time and activity requirements. Unlicensed individuals are allowed supervised use of pistols at firing ranges.
In 2005, there were 236,879 private citizens and 154,000 security guards licensed to carry firearms. Another 34,000 Israelis who were previously licensed own guns illegally due to their failure to renew their gun license.
[79][80] In 2007, there were estimated to be 500,000 civilian licensed guns in Israel, in addition to 1,757,500 in the military, and 26,040 in the police.

To legally own a gun as a souvenir, prize, inheritance, or award of appreciation from the military, an individual must first present proper documentation that they are about to receive it. Permits for gun collectors are extremely rare, and typically only given to ex-high-ranking officers.
