  • The Bill of Rights uses the term person for an individual. It also uses the term people which was recognized to mean the state. At least that was how the Supreme court saw it. But then it got changed and I am becoming of the opinion that it was done for money and nothing else. Sorta the same as what is making Trump popular. Congress never seems to ask if something is good for America or Americans. A person or the people? A militia would be the Freemen group out west. A well regulated militia would be the YARS base or Camp Ravenna....unless you're a lobbyist

  • gun ownership is not all about hunting.

    Your home gets attacked by a gang of hoods,

    you want a single shot shotgun?

    I think you plink with a beer can, and aren't a gun owner. You

    aren't making any sense.

    The resistance in France was "well-regulated" without being an army.

    the colonists were "well-regulated", without being army.

    There can't be any serious discussion when you invent your own definitions and nuances

    of words to try to make your point.

    If it walks like a hard core liberal, posts like a hard core liberal, and flaps it's jaws like a hard core liberal...

    it's a hard core liberal.

    Your wrong, I'm an independant that happens to read up on American history. I pretty much dislike both parties or anyone else that tells me how to think. It's your right to feel that way and have that opinion and I would fight to the death for your right to it no matter how ignorant I may find it. The braiwashing does emanate from both sides of the aisle

    The us isn't a full blown democracy, we're a republic so we elect a few people to make decisions based on what we the people want.

    However many tend to believe we're an oligarchy, where only a few make decisions for the masses. I agree with that belief.

    Brilliant! well said. Did you know that Congress has the authority to quell any and all insurections? I could tell you to eat shit but I won't. It's a lousy point. And I'm not gay so keep it in your pants soldier boy

  • I had that question as well:

    How are our gun owners a "well regulated militia"? Shouldn't we require some kind of training? Some kind of regulation, to make them a functioning militia?

    Also, how can Billy bob with his rifle defend us from a developed nation attacking? What do they do against jets and tanks? Shouldn't we allow more heavy duty arms for proper defense?

    A militia is only formed in times of need. Do you think they required farmers to be trained? They only required them to pick up a gun and fight when it was necessary. So far the only other time a militia has formed wad early in the civil war.
  • If the right of the people to keep and bear arms were infringed there would be no one to form a militia if some undetermined future leader decided to seize private assets or sone other such power play. It's all too easy to imagine since history is full of incidents of it.

    Ok, but my questions arise from reading the early Supreme Court rulings which say that "A well regulated militia" refers to the individual states to form their own armies. And they did. And they used the original authors of the Bill of Rights to justify their decisions. So back then what the Founding Fathers meant is different than what is told today. Changing a story is a very good sign of a lie, and if you tell a lie enough it becomes a dishonest truth. Maybe I'm reading the wrong stuff but it seems that legal transcripts, original documents and original authors is the way to go. Maybe Heston and the Nuge would be more insightful? lol

    So is time of need invasion, or just at war? And what about the second point in my post?

    I don't know. Ask the viet cong, chechans, afghans or Iraqi insurgents. This point is stupid as fuck every time I hear it.

  • Dumb dumb dumb dumb...dumbbbbb

    If a full out civil war began with the people versus the government, not everybody in the government or military would choose the same side. If that was the case, the government would lose the support of the entire population if they committed mass genocide with military grade weapons.

    And unless shit goes horribly wrong and our government ceases to exist or we have a large nuclear explosion over the states resulting in a massive EMP, no other country is in a position to invade us. We'd see them coming hundreds of miles away.

    The most likely thing that could happen would be a group that organizes themselves state side - and equips for a coordinated attack on any part of the American population. Should deadly encounters like this happen, then the only solution is to defend yourself and others.

    I carry a gun because there's a bunch of ruthless assholes out there and you never know when you need to defend yourselves. A deadly encounter lasts seconds, not minutes - can't have somebody else come to my rescue.

    Especially when I'm wearing my Trump shirt, never know when one of those leftist whack jobs will try to attack you for your political position.

    I wouldn't say those are one to one comparisons.

    Do our people have access to the same fire power? Same environment? Same era?

    If the 2nd amendment is for defense, why limit our ability to defend ourselves? If a rabid state side group does appear, as Ed said, why be limited in our fire power?

    They'd just be listening to your boy Trump. He's had no problem advocating for similar violence before.

    Oh what Trump suggested his supporters should retaliate against unruly rioters so that makes the violent riots OK?

    How many Trump supporters do you see causing problems? A black marine Trump supporter in Arizona attacking a protester dressed in a KKK hood who was yelling racist stuff?
