If Canada wasted about a Billion dollars on a gun registry the US will waste 100 billion
For your interest.
One wonders quite how many millions of additional firearms have been added to conservative arsenals due to leftists’ agitation toward gun bans.
I hope it passes. We need to get this “settled”, sooner than later.
Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.
Lower courts and liberal governments have taken this to mean that anything they wish to ban is OK, and until the Supreme Court takes on another 2A case, the district courts will uphold any scheme to ban guns and magazines that the states choose to dream up.
That is actual numbers, not percentages of estimates.
There are about as many Christian churches as guns in Boulder; my sister lives there. There are, however, cannabis stores, and 2 bikes per person per capita.
A militia is a military force that is raised from the civil population to supplement a regular army in an emergency. The civil population has the right to keep and bear arms so that in an emergency, a militia can be formed from that group of people, to supplement the regular army. What part of that the libs don’t understand is beyond me.
So far about 85 people have registered. The point person on the Boulder Council was Jill Adler Grano and I suspect she didn’t come up with this crap herself, I smell a Bloomberg.
Boulder, 34 square miles surrounded by reality.
Guns are easy to make if you don’t need them to be highly accurate.
In the civil war, mortars and roadside bombs will be the major weapons, as they are in the Middle East.
Ammo is tougher to make, and simply no longer possible to track.
Not stealing other peoples’ money via government is easy, though.
In a civil war, leave the cell phone at home. Electronic devices are great tracking devices.
Don’t buy any more guns. One is enough.
Civil war isn’t a social occasion. If you hang out you will be hung up.
Wow - I’m sure all these activist judges will strike this law down immediately as a violation of our civil rights.
Right Roberts? Coz there are no Obama or leftist judges
“...amount to an infringement on a right that specifically prohibits infringement.”
I don’t care for the sloppy use of language, but I get the poster’s drift. The 2A does not confer any right at all: It forbids the infringement of an inalienable right, just like 1, 3 & 4. I’ve had this argument before with people. They always clam up or stomp away after I ask them where their right to free speech is conferred.
Otherwise the Founders would have phrased them all much differently.
Apparently they don’t teach anything about inalienable rights anymore. Pathetic.
Be aware the civil war will be an economic battle.
Don’t buy stock mutual funds.
Don’t buy the stock, products or services of any hot new company.
Don’t buy new cars or new houses.
It’s a going to be a battle for money. If they don’t get it, they’ll get the message.
Beau Bennett was overeard to say “F@@@ ‘em all”
King County (Seattle) provided 500,000 of the 580,000 vote margin.
However, the Initiative received a majority in 10 other counties, so it would have passed with an 80,000 vote margin even if King County was excluded.
Heads up, Conservatives.
This is starting to get scary!
Second how can a state or federal law be passed that retroactively takes away an ownership right without compensation? Yes, the government can exercise eminent domain, but it has to go through due process. If you manufacture drugs it can confiscate your home or car, but usually that is suppose to be with “due process.” (Yes there are some cities that are settling class action lawsuits over abuse, but still they can't just take unless the courts look the other way.
Third, there are more firearms in the US than there are people. Yes “assault rifles” are a small but growing fraction, but still gun confiscation is an incredible logistics issue. I am more concerned about how in WA State they have defined any semi-automatic rifle (including 22 rim fires with tube magazines as assault rifles.)
Gov’t has yet to define “infringe.”
This should be struck down under Colorados preemption law.
