This BS won’t stand. As soon as Gorsuch us confirmed to SCOTUS this will be overturned. Might take a while, but it will go.
This won’t stand and Trump will get this guy off the bench. He is on the enemies list.
These words have always bothered me, “regulated Militia”. Militia to me is a uniformed group, regulated means some form of control. When does the militia drill? Where do they drill? Are they a cohesive group well disciplined and ready to follow orders? Who are their Commanders? Are they a separate branch of the military or are they a paramilitary group lead by former members of the military or a bunch of yahoos? I’m playing the devils advocate over the wording. I see no problem with a “regulated” militia, i.e. the Concord County Volunteer Militia, sort of a unit lower than the National Guard and self funded. Nothing new there, there were many during the 1860s and before that. It seems the wording is such, it depends on how you interpret the actual meaning, in that it can be suited to fit your intent.
The scourge of judicial overreach is now clearly visible and bound to draw some righteous lightning. Bad time to be a judge with too much imagination and not enough common sense restraint.
This decision will be overturned by the Supreme Court.
This is the clause which explains why the Second Amendment was added to the Bill of Rights. It has nothing to do with duck hunting or target shooting.
Who cares what these judges do? I don’t care what they, SCOTUS or anyone in Washington or the UN rules on guns. I’m not giving mine up, and no, I’m not “losing” them in a boating accident either. They’re going to be right along my side.
When it was written, “well regulated” meant adequately armed. The “militia” was every able-bodied white male between 16 and 45.
Legislate all you want. You will disarm us at your own peril.
The Constitution doesn’t give us the right to own a BB gun or participate in paintball conflicts. The Constitution gives us the right to own and bear light infantry weapons.
Wrong and wrong.
The Constitution doesn’t give us ANY rights whatsoever. It clearly defines and delineates what God given rights our elected Government officials my not violate or infringe on. How I wish the document had a definition of the word 'infringe' included in the Preamble.
Every time I think about what these tyrants in black burkas did, the Concord minuteman statue pops into my mind. A farmer standing next to his plow with a “weapon of war” in his hand that would have been banned had these bastards been around at that time. As an American, all of those “judicial” tyrants can KMA.
The militia bit is legally meaningless.
Some of the Founding Fathers didn’t like ordinary people having the right to guns, but they lost out.
A few words about militias was their meaningless consolation prize.
Without well-armed ordinary people, the nation wouldn’t have gotten over the Appalachian Mountains.
The Indians would have shot up every home on the frontier using British guns.
Revolvers are very easy to make.
