Some back ground of this “amnesty would be greatly appreciated. Although Czechia has resisted the muslim and african invasion they are still sneaking in through. Also aided by Gypsy gangs. Stand strong Czechia.

No, at the time of the 2nd Amendment was penned, “regulated” meant something different than how regulated is used today. Very common misconception. “In excellent operating order” or “well trained”.

This is an important distinction, because of unscrupulous types who want to pervert our laws.

Oh, for God's sake.

late Middle English (in the sense ‘control by rules’): from late Latin regulat- ‘directed, regulated’, from the verb regulare, from Latin regula ‘rule’.

People in Portland could really use a pink tank.

He got to keep them. Good deal. Neat toys. I wonder if they were still drivable or if he had to haul them on a flat bed? Cool toys either way.

He did get to keep them after the Czech police helped him to properly decommission the weapons. They were already decommissioned, but not properly.

Do you think the Friggin’ Bunch of Incompetents, would let someone who tried to turn in a tank and an artillery piece, keep them?

According to the article they did let him keep them.

"They" being Czechoslovakia, not here, that's just my point.

Release a swarm of killer bees at the next traffic roadblock—very interesting possibilities. Out of bees—hornets are next best option!

I’m not going to do your homework for you. It shouldn’t take much.

It is self-evident when you read the very text of the 2nd.

They used “regulated” in a completely different sense than the word is used today, or in middle english or whatever you’re digging up.

Ask yourself this. Provided you agree that a militia is “necessary to the security of a free state”, what would be the characteristics and attributes of that? A bunch of rules and bureaucratic BS? Of course not.

A well trained, a well functioning unit. Think drill and ceremony, if you’ve ever served in the military. A moment’s thought on this by anybody makes it clear what they meant. It isn’t even debateable, except of leftist wankers.

The owner was allowed time to fix those issues so that he could keep the weapons.

Correction...if it’s been rendered useless it’s no
longer a weapon just a tracked vehicle.
