Michael Moore said on Piers Morgan Tuesday night that the founding Fathers would have omitted the right to bear arms from the Bill of Rights if they would have known how much guns would modernize in the coming centuries.

Poor Michael seems to be suffering from terminal stupidity.

I was hoping no one would wake up fatboy. He had been quiet for quite some time.

Cuba has Gun Control

Well Bye

Hey mikey... you have no standing to bring forth any opinion on this subject... you are ignorant and uneducated. It is amazing that you can stand at all... fat a$$!

And what the Founders really meant by “freedom of speech” was political speech, not every filthy thing that media perverts can think of to pollute our culture. So let’s clean up that misunderstanding of the First Amendment before we reconsider the Second.

For the life of me I really don’t understand why anyone cares what Michael Moore thinks.

[IrishPennant]

Please forgive me Father but I would dance a jig on this fat bastage’s grave when his final “secret” double Whopper with Chesse and super sized fries pushes him in to a fatal blocked artery.

"Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people."

Trenche Coxe, founding father.

Dear Fat Mikey,

An armed citizenry is exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind. The Socialist movement in this day and age (dangerously approaching tyranny) is exactly why the Founding Fathers wanted an armed citizenry.

[Salgak]

Actually, even a broken clock is right twice a day. The founders meant we should have weapons sufficient to overthrow a tyranny. So the limits should be more like crew-served weapons up through artillery, Tanks and AFVs, and for those who can afford it, attack helicopters, fighters, and bombers.

Watch a liberal’s head explode when you suggest THAT. . . (evil grin)

[JRandomFreeper]

Tenche Coxe.

Dammit.

The Constitution gives Congress the power to issue letters of marque and reprisal to US citizens. That means that I can get a note from Congress authorizing me to make war against a foreign country in the name of the United States on land or sea with the weapons I own. It was used most often to authorize ship captains to capture enemy ships. To do that you needed a lot more than a single shot musket. You needed cannons and lots of them. That was the top of the line military weapon at the time, Mikey.

[M-cubed]

the Founding Fathers wanted “We the People” to be armed with the current weapons of the day...if they were still in charge, machine-guns would not be a problem to them...

[Billthedrill]

Uh huh. Pizza Boy is channeling Alexander Hamilton now. He can rest assured that even if they had been able to anticipate the bovine stupidity that issues forth from his own mouth, they'd still have been for the First Amendment anyway.

But there actually isn't a great deal of doubt as to how they really did feel, and if Pizza Boy wanted to learn that instead of piously wondering in front of the cameras, all he'd have to do is use his library card.

[JudyinCanada]

I suspect the founding fathers had a vision of Michael Moore et al when they declared that everyone should be armed.

[Michael Barnes]

Michael Moore said on Piers Morgan Tuesday night that the founding Fathers would have omitted the right to bear arms from the Bill of Rights if they would have known how much guns would modernize in the coming centuries.

Oh, I see. So, the Founding Fathers were short sighted idiots and it will take Moore and his crowd to shape the next 200+ years of this country with all their communist enlightenment.
Got it.

The left doesn’t want a “militia” to form, as a militia fights government tyranny.

Moore, obviously, was there at the creation of the Bill Of Rights and is the only one who knows what the amendment actually means.

Hell, we don’t need a Constitution or a Supreme Court with Obama and Michael Moore around.

This delirious fat body needs to move to Cuba.

[cripplecreek]

He had been quiet for quite some time.

Apparently he knows enough to not talk with his mouth full.

[Secret Agent Man]

What they meant was that citizens should have the same kind of arms as any opposing force against them. The simple guns back then were the equivalent of modern guns today. Also it wasn’t just limited to guns, “arms” means swords, knives, clubs, maces, etc. Whatever was considered conventional weapons.

Mikey must have went to publik skool.

[muawiyah]

The state of the law at the time of the adoption of the Bill of Rights was that private individuals could and did own field artillery pieces capable of tossing a 42 pound hunk of lead a very long way.

For all intents and purposes the Constitution favors having the very biggest and most dangerous weapons in private hands!
