And what gun grabbers usually ignore is the Federalist Papers commentary on what was meant by 'militia'. The term is citizens, free from government control who are free to stand up for the nation in the time of need. They were to be free to be armed as well as 'any army of Europe' so they could never be overthrown by a tyrannical opposing government. The 'well regulated militia' means every citizen willing to stand up to defend his life, liberty, and property.
Can we just ban murder?
The Constitution doesn’t say anything about pens, typewriters, media, and the Internet either. Banning those instruments would not conflict with the first amendment according to this moron’s logic.
By that logic a right to a free press would not include a right to ink or paper.
Sooooo
Let’s suppose bullets are actually banned...
That is going to create a HUGE black market for bullets and as such a black market is a dangerous market so crime around it will go up....
So instead of meth labs you will have “gun powder labs” and people selling primers to re-loaders on the down low...
There will be a market for lead as well as some people will be melting down lead from car batteries to cast bullets as well..
Any they don’t think existing cartels and drug dealers and plain criminals will NOT cash in on another lucrative and risky black market?????
To say nothing of the people who will be making bullets in protest of an unconstitutional law...
Banning bullets is just plain stupid and will result in MORE gun deaths not fewer...
Part of the reason we can not have a discussion on this subject is that the left are either completely ingnorant of the facts, they operate on churning emotions and they lie.
Let’s just say that there was an amendment to the Constitution... let’s call it Amendment 1.5.
“A well-schooled electorate, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and read Books, shall not be infringed.”
The left would then be able to prevent you from reading a book if you were not a registered voter (”electorate”) and could produce a high school diploma or better (”well-schooled”).
well numbnuts...yeah, we are. you need a special fed license, but it is doable in most states.
Happily, the Supreme Court disagreed with this clown.
Bullets count as ‘arms’. We really have raised a population of ignorant idiots.
What don’t these stupid fools understand about the word “Arms” bullets are arms, as are knives, clubs, RPGs and so on.
The Constitution makes no mention of Henry Blodget, so he is obviously not protected by its provisions.
Really people, we have have to find a way to peacefully separate or end up fighting it out someday. I can’t believe there’s any hope of future reconciliation with the leftists. We have two almost diametrically opposed visions for our respective nations. It ain’t gonna work.
Some people ( the author ) are just too stupid to be
allowed to run around loose.
There is no reason a person should not own a tank or
cannon. Now if they cause damage to their neighbor or
other citizens, THEN there is recourse to civil law
otherwise leave them alone.
Why not ban trigger fingers? F’n lefty idiots ought to be... Never mind, I’ll wait. Patiently.

What the hell happened to our Second Amendment Rights?

"ELIZABETHTOWN
—Frank A. Stevens has received numerous souvenirs from his son, Durand, who is a Sergeant attached to the Signal Corps in the South-west Pacific. They consist of shell and woods and money; a flame thrower; a flag; a telephone, and many other items of interest."

"An interesting sidelight of the event was the large display of World War II souvenirs that the veterans have collected during the past war in the many theaters of operation"

"Deer Season Slated Oct. 20-Nov. 20;
Bar Automatic Weapons
Governor Dewey signed a bill yesterday fixing the opening of the 1946 deer season in the Adirondacks for October 20. The season will close Nov. 20.
Other bills of interest to local sportsmen signed this week include one prohibiting the use of automatic firearms in hunting.
Designed as a safeguard against the use of rapid-fire weapons brought back by overseas veterans as war souvenirs, the bill defines an automatic gun as "one which will continue to fire as long as the trigger is held back." Autoloading guns which require that the trigger be pulled for each shot are permitted, provide they contain not more than six shells.
The State Conservation Department was authorized to set open season for grouse or partridge concurrently with the season for woodcock."

What happened?
Why do they avoid the whole point of the 2nd Amendment, which is to keep government from disarming the people. The minuteman is the very symbol of American liberty. In England and in France and Germany, they have a history of government consolidated in the monarchy or in the national state. For the English, it dates to the English Civil War. For the French to the reign of Louis XIV. For Germany to unification under the Prussian king. Cromwell put the fear of God in the English elites, so they limited the size of the Army through the Mutiny Acts,while allowing the Navy to grow to guard an expanding trade. Where the Army was essentially a colonial army, and basically a core depending on colonial allies and mercenaries, as in their attempt to suppress our rebellion against the king. We adopted a similar policy, which is has been to depend primarily on the states and their militias. It was for this reason that in 1861, Lincoln had an army that consisted of 26,000 men, scattered across the country, and like every President before him to call upon the states for volunteers.
