The crime is that there is any type of "restricted gun" to begin with........."Shall Not Be Infringed" means exactly that.

We need to start a petition.

I think we should ban fully automatic printing presses; they should have to physically press "print" each time for each page for each paper printed.

High capacity ink feeding devices should be banned as well - 7oz containers should be enough. I mean if you can't get your message out/viral after making three newspapers, you probably don't need to be distributing more than that....the people deserve to be left alone.

We need Common Sense Speech Laws.

"Shall Not Be Infringed" means exactly that.

But what is the “that” it means exactly. I suppose most would say the “that” is “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This leads to the question: “What is the right of the people to keep and bear Arms?” If this right is not to be infringed we need to know what this right is.

Another post on this forum today ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2990936/posts ) stated:

“In a sweeping ruling, the Tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that there is no Second Amendment right to carry a concealed firearm in public”, and further stated “But the final ruling held, “In light of our nation’s extensive practice of restricting citizens’ freedom to carry firearms in a concealed manner, we hold that this activity does not fall within the scope of the Second Amendment’s protections. (emphasis added).

We talk about “shall not be infringed” plenty. We need to talk more about the scope of “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” so that we can establish what is and is not an infringement. If we don’t, it will be done for us. Or rather to us.

I think we should ban fully automatic printing presses... especially the ones used by the Bureau of Printing and Engraving to “assault” the value of our money by printing endless new bills that they push into circulation by buying things to the benefit of government.
