He said: It always has been up for reinterpretation. The technology changes, and the weapons thought to be too dangerous to be in private hands change.

Said General Gage...

It’s ok. The time is coming when people like this will overreaching and find out the real reason rope was invented.

I’m tired of all these want to be tyrants telling us to live.

The other day in Canada, a group of moslems asked Trudeau to ban semi auto rifles. Same garbage over and over. This is nothing more than the fox telling the farmer to get rid of his dogs guarding the hen house.

It’s insulting that they think we’re this dumb.

Curiously in the entire process of establishing our Constitution 1777-1789, through all the debates of the 13 states, collectively and individually, and the written 85 Federal Papers, there is not a single word stating or suggesting that there existed ANY arms or weapons considered "to be too dangerous to be in private hands."

Conversely, The Fifth Amendment explicitly refers to "arms", with no limitation or qualification whatsoever.

Why was the Bill of Rights created at the end of the Constitution?
Because it did not become obvious until the end that, without it, the rest of the Constitution would have never been ratified by 2/3 of the original 13 states (9).

Two thirds of 50 = 33
Can never happen.

A civil war cannon is frankly much less dangerous than weapons we are allowed to carry on the streets in many of the states and cities in our country today

>> Did he really say that?
