Governments don't have rights.... to anything. That's not what rights are.

I'm not interested in parsing words. If government can have a certain weapon IMO so can the people.

Rights are literally power that people have that the govt doesn't have.

Well, Elon Musk could afford one... would you trust him with one?

I don't trust the government with one.

Well, you can think this, but the reality is simply not the case.

You don't understand rights... that's not my problem that you don't want to educated yourself.

Oh, you're one of those...

Better off not replying to this post then. Bye.

What part of…….The right to bear arms shall not be infringed don’t you understand?

I don’t see any charges of attempted assassination

No, I had to go looking for it, and find the local affiliates reporting it. Kamala, no. CNN, no. NBC, no. etc. You get the point I'm trying to make so don't be ignorant.

It is simply the case. The entire purpose of the 2A, is to keep the gov't at bay at the hands of the people that the gov't should be serving.

Now it's the other way around. We have a sect of society that adores gov't. They want this and that from the gov't. They want equality via gov't handouts, laziness and the lack of personal motivation. The minute, the people become servants to the gov't, we have lost the purpose of the constitution.

Why do we think Kamala wants to promise higher taxes, $25K in home buying assistance, taxes on unearned capital gains, and gun buyback programs, etc.? Votes and gov't dependence. That was never the purpose of our great nation.

Many of you are being subdued, slowly, and even gracefully by a corrupt political system that views you only as a means to their end, votes and unadulterated loyalty. And this goes for Republicans too.

At the end of the day, to stop a gov't that has lost its way and subverts the people, even if it is under the guise of democracy, the people have the right to start over again. And that right primary foundation is the 2A.

Ummmm?
You do know that "local affiliates" ARE part of the "media"?

There are thousands of news sources/outlets in America....both as original reporting, as consolidators, as broadcasters on air, or online. They ALL are the media.

In short, you will know next to nothing of this world....nor will I.....if we do not utilize 'media' to inform us. You and I simply cannot be all places everywhere all the time to know what events are occurring or have occurred.

So this long standing MAGA whine that "media" is the enemy of America is silly.

"The entire purpose of the 2A, is to keep the gov't at bay at the hands of the people that the gov't should be serving."

That, in a nutshell, is nonsense.
Nowhere in our Constitution does it suggest or mandate that people must be armed to control their own government.

The 2nd specifically suggests that a 'well regulated' militia" is desirable. And in the context of the war with Britain and the absence of standing army......armed citizen militias may be the best prophylactic against aggression by foreign intruders coveting American soil, commerce, resources.

The NRA and the too willing gun-gripper community glommed onto the shill that guns are to inhibit governance. The manufacturers were only too glad to promote that ethic as the government would always be there and thus always be a boogeyman they could harum-scarum with so to keep demand high on the iron and the ammunition. Whereas, Foreign enemies were seldom or only periodically present and then on the other side of oceans....so the merchants needed the 'always there' potential enemy --governance -- to keep demand high.

Grippers, the NRA and the manufacturers are turning our 2nd Amendment into a suicide note for our children and our society.

The prime minister of Japan was assassinated in 2022, a country with strict gun control laws.

Happens every week in the US.

So crazies can get guns ? How is that goung ?

 

[hadit]

No its strong enough. Guns are killing your kids every day and you do nothing about it. Those of us in civilisation do not live under such nuttiness.
In fact you glory in it by calling it a fact of life. Sick.

Then, when someone takes over your government and uses its power against you, there will be nowhere for you to turn.

 

[sealybobo]

Perry and Rittenhouse were defending themselves.

If Perry is the guy who got pardoned in Texas, a jury disagreed. Only a Republican governor agrees with you and that's bullshit. This means whites can murder blacks and get a pardon from Republican governors. Conservatives can murder liberals in Texas and get away with it. If a jury doesn't think it's stand your ground, pardon the white man. The conservative.

Scary.

We don't have a prime minister.

You're not even close to understanding the formation of our country and the importance of an armed citizenry. Read some history please.

You're deflecting my point.

"You're not even close to understanding ............the importance of an armed citizenry."

Redux:
"The 2nd specifically suggests that a 'well regulated' militia" is desirable. And in the context of the war with Britain and the absence of standing army......armed citizen militias was the best prophylactic against aggression by foreign intruders coveting American soil, commerce, resources."

And you seemingly think that when the founders inserted "well regulated militia" they were contemplating you being armed if you disagreed with your local drain commissioner?
