I think this is being taken out of context, as usual.

WTF? Is he channelling John Roberts now? Why the hell is it that only conservatives regress? Shall not be infringed should be pretty easy for a strict constructionist/originalist
To: Perdogg
Watching the interview now and it was taken out of context.
To: Greystoke
frightening weapons? and just exactly WHAT the hell does that mean???
RATS wet their pants at the sight of ANY weapon...

The example that Scalia cited was a hand canon. I think that a law forbidding the ownership of a M72 Laws rocket would probably meet the constitutionality test. People need to understand the context.

They own all of the government now... scalia is gone. Only Thomas remains unblemished... and that is speaking of the entire damned government.

This is what frustrates me the most about some people on FR. We claim that the media is lame, yet pants are wet by out of context statements intentially published to elicit a response.

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."
Tenche Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.
The founders wouldn't agree with you.

What the press and scalia were referring to as “Assault Weapons” are semi auto weapons that are legal and had better remain so. I am sick of our government and disappointed in those that are so quick to make excuses for them.

They have taken over and own everyone in positions of power and influence. We “may” have lost the Republic... there is no will to stand and fight... unless you are a Conservative... then everyone wants to fight against you/us. We even have our own defending these bastards.

Guns are regulated. I don’t see how you can draw any other conclusion. The real question is what the limit to that regulation is.
The lefties are going to say that the only thing you have a right to is a musket, and that they can even prevent you from taking that in prohibited areas, as well as track them.
The right to bear arms is not going to be defined by the Constitution. It will need to be upheld in the legislature.
To: Greystoke
Sorry Scalia, the wording of the 2nd is clear. It means even YOU as a FEDERAL employee have no authority to regulate our God Given right to keep and bear arms.

To: Greystoke
He’s correct that any potential ruling will depend upon the case presented. Free speech can be curtailed as in the tired “yelling fire in a crowded theater” example so it depends upon the case.
