“ex post facto laws “
Actually, gun control as they intend it is ex post facto. I am already in possession of the gun and they want to make possession of the gun a crime.
“The Dick Act of 1902”
What a coincidence!
There is no longer a Constitution and rule of law. There is King Obama and his communists empire and America is under his law. He is acting as a dictator and it is working. Nothing the Senate or House can do to stop him except impeachment. That will never happen.
The left has its sights on firearms owned legally by law-abiding citizens. It knows there are millions of guns possessed by violent criminals, and deliberately chooses to leave the guns in their hands.
I want to see the inner city gun trafficking stopped. Severe penalties, including capital punishment for trafficking.
Never happen. Will be called racist.
The author confuses the Militia as being a symbol of freedom and use of the 2nd amendment. Yet, they were also part of the problem.
Various state Militia were conscripted and enforced Slavery. Slavery was part of the ultimate form of gun control. Slaves or conscripted labor in most cases couldn't carry or had to be registered and licensed.
If you want to see what a Gov't license and gun database would be. Think a society where a Gov't force[Militia] would come to your house regularly, inspect your weapons, arms and home.
It's also called the Militia Act of 1903 (or 1902, couldn't they make up their minds?), so maybe we should go with that.
Agreed, but it’s good to bear in mind that it’s distracting to be inaccurate and casts doubt on the rest; e.g. BAFT is BATF, or more recently BATFE. Never been BAFT.
As a person living in a land (Canada) where ownership of guns is not guaranteed, I find the method of attack on gun ownership in the US rather curious. It seems the enemies of gun ownership are intent on punishing and stripping rights from lawful citizens.
That to me seems like an odd battleground to do battle on. I am not a gun owner, but the only rational argument that ever had appeal to me was when gun ownership resulted in accidental deaths. Meaning gun owners who don’t take care to store their arms which results in a family member injuring themselves. If and where that happens I see that as a true tragedy which perhaps deserves attention.
The governor of New York is in violation Article 1 § 10 ... I’ve always maintained that an ex post facto law cannot be legal unless the person effected was born after said law ... I was born in 1948
