“We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms. ‘Miller’ said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those ‘in common use at the time.’ 307 U.S., at 179, 59 S.Ct. 816. We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of ‘dangerous and unusual weapons.’”
Justice Scalia also wrote:
“It may be objected that if weapons that are most useful in military service — M-16 rifles and the like — may be banned, then the Second Amendment right is completely detached from the prefatory clause. But as we have said, the conception of the militia at the time of the Second Amendment’s ratification was the body of all citizens capable of military service, who would bring the sorts of lawful weapons that they possessed at home to militia duty. It may well be true today that a militia, to be as effective as militias in the 18th century, would require sophisticated arms that are highly unusual in society at large. Indeed, it may be true that no amount of small arms could be useful against modern-day bombers and tanks. But the fact that modern developments have limited the degree of fit between the prefatory clause and the protected right cannot change our interpretation of the right.”

All I want is to keep a 6 shot revolver in my own apartment. NYC says to do that I have to pay $600 or so in fees, and wait up to 6 months to get a license to do so.
Why should I give a rats ass about "any weapon I want" when gun grabbing fucks like you in government enforce the above?
Having failed to take away your 2nd amendment rights via the courts, they are using punishment fees and lengthy delays in an effort to get you to give up your 2nd amendment rights voluntarily as not worth all the hassle and expense.
100% correct. It results in a de facto ban, even if de jure it is still "allowed"
Some people may clamor to become well regulated and well qualified, to use bazookas and mortars.“We also recognize another important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms. ‘Miller’ said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those ‘in common use at the time.’ 307 U.S., at 179, 59 S.Ct. 816.

So I simply don't register the sniper rifle I am going to use to knock off my enemy (like you) when the time comes.
I am O.K. with that.
They didn't use guns because they didn't HAVE guns because there aren't as many easily accessible guns, legal or illegal, in Great Britain. That was my point.To incite terror!Is that why the three ISIS terrorists in London used a van and knives?They probably would have liked Dylan Roof not to have one. In some countries, that's the way of things.Do you think the victims that Dylann Roof murdered in church would have like to have had handguns ready to fire?Oh, for Pete's sake, 2AGuy, pay attention. Jake needs to carry in church? You'd think church was for quiet thoughtful peaceful meditation, not looking over your shoulder and keeping your handgun ready to fire. That's what we were discussing, not a public park.
He was a criminal. They can always get guns.
Now you claim you know how the terrorists think and how illegal guns are obtained in GB? Never having been there or a terrorist, how does that work?They didn't use guns because they didn't HAVE guns because there aren't as many easily accessible guns, legal or illegal, in Great Britain.

In Texas we have open carry now and things are just fine. No wild west shootouts are happening like the libtards and dummiecrats said would happen.
I have never seen anyone pull a gun. Never. I was in a Kroger a couple years ago and a guy came in and started chasing his girlfriend who was an employee. He pulled out a switchblade and threatened to cut her. I grabbed 2 cans of tomatoes and was going to crease his skull if she ran by me. An employee with a push broom swung it like a bat and knocked the guy unconscious and the cops were there in 2 minutes. I had a concealed weapon and probably half the guys there also. I never once thought of pulling it. Libtards think we go around waving guns and threatening people. We're taught never to show your weapon unless someone is pointing theirs or another deadly weapon at you or other people.
