Second amend does not guarantee an AR 15 or 20-30 mag clipDoesn't matter. The needs of people vary. I can imagine that there are many thousands of US citizens in each category listed below:I said just shotguns and revolvers onlyAre you stupid enough to think that criminals won't have all the firepower you're saying honest people should be prohibited from owning.Get rid of these guns
Be a civilized society
What more do you need than a shotgun and revolver
BTW, the 2nd Amendment is not about a need to have guns. It's about the right to have them.
The 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms. (Arms is the PLURAL of arm) It doesn't say we can bear a sidearm. It doesn't say that we can bear a shot gun and a revolver. I can bear any number and any type of weapon that is available to an infantryman in the US military, with exception of fully automatic weapons such as machine guns and machine pistols. Since I have passed a background check, if my firearm du jour is small enough, I can conceal it on my person or in my glove box...fully loaded and ready to fire. And my permit is a Weapons Carry License...includes knives of any length, swords, pistols, revolvers, shotguns, rifles, baseball bats, boat paddles (actually a wicked weapon...especially if you strike with the edge of the flat end), ball peen hammers, screwdrivers, sharpened #2 pencils...the list is endless.
- owns no firearms
- owns only a small caliber revolver
- owns only a shotgun
- owns both a revolver and a shotgun
- owns more than two of each
- owns a semi-automatic pistol
- owns multiple semi-automatic pistols
- owns a bolt action hunting rifle
- owns a lever action rifle
- owns a semi-automatic rifle
- owns one of each of ALL OF THE ABOVE
- owns several of each of the above
- owns a gun store
Need is a subjective term. Right is an objective term and is clearly defined. I have the right to bear arms. That right is guaranteed to me by the 2nd Amendment. It is not granted to me by the constitution...it is PROTECTED by the constitution no matter what you think my needs may be.
Yeah, it does. So does the Supreme Court ruling in US v Miller.
Miller V was questioning the 1934 Firearms act that states what a shotgun can be and be illegal. Miller's shotgun was a sawed off shotgun with no shoulder stock. It had no use as a Militia nor a hunting application. But if read Miller V it doesn't say you can't have a sawed off shotgun. It goes on to explain how you can legally own one. Miller didn't pay the 200 bucks and have the proper NFA stamps and license. In conclusion, Miller V has nothing to do with whether an AR can have a 20 or a 30 round mag. But Heller V DC has established that a Reasonable amount as per other ruling since is at least 15 and not 10.
