A rebuttal to Sen. Turbin's inane interpretation of the 2nd Amendment at yesterday's SCOTUS confirmation hearings.

Kept trying to cite just a bit but the whole is too applicable to miss.

The Founders wanted you to own assault rifles (real ones), machine guns, land mines, hand grenades, armed drones and RPGs.

At the time of the founding, the common citizen/farmer owned weapons as deadly as those owned by the military. Read that sentence again gun grabbers. No, the Brown Bess was not better than what your average frontiersman or farmer owned.

The AR-15 is clearly inferior to what the military uses. No, its not a, WEAPON OF WAR!!!!! (he said breathlessly). Its a civilian rifle. It has NEVER been a military rifle. Not one military uses it or ever has.

The original intent of the Founders was that we should have access to the real thing.....M4s, fully automatic submachine guns, etc.

By the way Dick, when the 1st amendment was written the only mass media they had was hand cranked printing presses. So do you think Freedom of Speech should only apply to hand cranked printing presses and not to any of the new communications media invented since then?

See how stupid your argument is?

A mind numbingly stupid argument.

Dear Dumbass senator,

If you think that the second amendment applies only to muzzle loading, black powder firearms, turn off your computer and television, sit down and write me a letter with quill and ink, give it to a man on a horse to deliver it to me and THEN we can talk about why you are wrong.

Got some numbers for you behind the link. Second Amendment rights should be more of a major part of the presidential and Senate campaigns. Rifles are only the first target for confiscation by the Democrats. They plan to move on to confiscating pistols and hinder ammunition supply, too, BTW.

"The Founders Wanted You to Own an AR-15."

All of them? I think there were 55 signers of the Declaration of Independence. I can't possibly store that many AR15s without purchasing at least one more gun safe.

I do believe that the Founders would have wanted as many people as possible to have ARs:
