The same party that in 1857 declared blacks to NOT be citizens because citizens had the right to “Keep and carry arms wherever they went.” -—Dred Scott decision.

(If declared citizens,) “It would give to persons of the negro race, who are recognized as citizens in any one state of the Union, the right to enter every other state, whenever they pleased.... and it would give them full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might meet; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to KEEP AND CARRY ARMS wherever they went.”

Nor does it say assault Weapons’ aren’t protected by the second amendment.

Left always using variable gymnastics

Setting aside the Miller decision of 1938(?) that *only* military arms were protected by the Second Amendment, if AWs are “military weapons” then their use by police and all the alphabet agencies on US soil against US citizens violates Posse Comitatus.

By this logic, muskets are the only arms protected by the 2A.

We don’t take orders from public servants… Emphasis on the word “servant”.

“...the Founders were perfectly fine with private ownership of cannon...”
When I was growing up in the 1930s, we had a Bannerman Catalog that advertised Civil War cannons for a couple of hundred dollars.

If the government has them, then they’re protected by 2A.

We must act like government is an enemy, because its actions of late show that it is, in fact, an enemy of good people.

Whatever these undefined “assault weapons” are they are most likely “arms” so they’re covered by the second amendment

BIG SCARY GUNS!

[Gay State Conservative]

During BCT at Fort Knox in '69 we were required to qualify on both the M-14 and the M-16. During range firing they let us put the M-16 on "full auto" once. I must say that that was quite an experience for a 19 year old kid from the Boston suburbs.

Unless I'm mistaken the AR-15 is entirely semi-automatic,as are many other rifles available today.

In '69 the M-16 was capable of firing a full clip with one pull of the trigger.Today I believe they're capable of three round bursts. Big,big difference. The US Armed Forces have absolutely no interest in procuring AR-15s.

They have legislated themselves into being our Masters.

I, for one, take extreme offense to that...
