Congressman: Requiring 'Military-Type Weapons' to be 'Locked Away' in Gun Club (T)

Foster said banning individuals from carrying assault weapons in public is “absolutely not” a violation of the Second Amendment.

“A well-regulated militia is completely consistent with having military-style arms put under lock-and-key in a regulated environment,” he said.

No doubt this doesn't violate the definition of "infringe". Right? Someone needs to school these miscreant assclowns. Wonder why the 2nd doesn't read like he wishes it did? Maybe cause the framers were a tad more intelligent than the current crop of CONgress critters?

Demonicrat Rep. Bill Foster should be locked away.

How exactly does 2nd protect 1st when it locked in the gun club?

>>Maybe cause the framers were a tad more intelligent than the current crop of CONgress critters?

No doubt.

“Well regulated” means that we practice frequently, and intensely!

That there is no delegated power for it never enters into it. These scum would cease to function if the 10th Amendment were honored as Law.

In horology, regulate means to be accurate and keep time. Or as I interpret it, march in time, take orders and hit your target.

I have no idea what “assault weapon” means - it is a made up term. Further, I don’t “military-type” weapons means. I can’t think of any type of firearm that hasn’t been used by the military. Bolt action 30 caliber rifles are widely used by the military - are those included? Semi-auto rifles are used by the military. Semi-auto handguns are also used by the military. These terms are just an attempt to disarm the American public.

Well Mr. Foster, even if such a law based on your idea were to have been on the books, it likely would have been yet another one that was broken when incidents like Mandalay Bay, the Denver movie theatre, Sandy Hook, Columbine High School, and other such incidents were carried out.

I’m certain that this would include the “Brown Bess”?

Yo, Mr. Congressman, have you ever heard what precipitated all that unpleasantness on the green in Lexington back in the day?

Looks to me like you would've been a young man back then so it seems like you would've heard a little about it.

I have seen the term “regulars” used when referring to soldiers, vs an unregulated militia.

Dear Asshole Government,

I’m not going to do anything you say I have to do.

Keep your idiotic, useless laws to yourself.

So, ... tell us all, we’re all waiting to hear,... what was the well regulated environment was, that the minutemen kept their weapons in,... Oh, and by the way,... what were the Non-Military weapons? Can you name them?

Great, just what we need. Another law that criminals can sidestep.

I wonder how far Rep. Foster would go to take away those weapons that don’t meet his acceptable criteria? Given time, as far it takes, no doubt. That’s where the left ultimately goes. An unarmed populace is so much easier to subdue.

Try reading the Federalist Letters.

They explain in detail that the purpose of the militia is to keep the government firmly under the control of the people.

May your chains rest lightly...

So that covers “keep” - but what does the brilliant congress critter think about the “and bear arms” part of the Amendment?
