Donohue explained that the Second Amendment must be interpreted in historical context. The founding fathers had no idea how powerfuland destructivetodays weapons would become, he said.
This guy is an idiot. Historical context INCLUDED the most powerful and destructive weapons in use at the time.

He doesn’t understand militia, he doesn’t understand free, he doesn’t understand right, he doesn’t understand people, he doesn’t understand keep, and he doesn’t understand infringed.
Despite that incredible ignorance, he’s still a professor of law.

To paraphrase the old saying,
1. those lawyers who can’t practice, teach.
2. those who can’t teach, write books.
3. those who can’t write books, become politicians.
4. those who can’t do real politics become President.
I’m not naming anyone in particular. Just sayin’ ...

This law prof is citing administrative law rationale.
So does Obamacare.
Instead of calling him an idiot, you should try to understand the legal mechanism he is deliberately misapplying.
It’s the root of everything the Rats do, yet conservatives have yet to address it.
Search “One Stone, Two Powers” by me, Talisker, for a primer.

LOL! Okay, now I’m suspicious. Where did Justice Roberts get a copy of the ACA? Must have been after the sign it read it statement huh?

The implication is clear, then, that we are all entitled to own a fully equipped war ship, all the cannons we want, and gun powder by the ton. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to carry-out a Letter of Marque and Reprisal, issued under Article I Section 8 of the US Constitution.

The never envisioned the internet, radio or television either, so I guess our 1st Amendment rights don't apply there, too.
The kind of idiot you can only find at a University.

Precisely! Many people understand that “regulated” means that the people are subject to regulations by the government.
If that were so, the words “shall not be infringed” are superfluous.
THOSE WORDS MEAN WHAT THEY SAY, NO MORE OR NO LESS!
Not shouting at you but I see the need to emphasize the point for others.

I support the right to self-defense, said Donohue during the debate, according to The Stanford Review. But that doesnt mean that you have a right to high-capacity magazines.Right there....the educated dumbass is wrong.

Ah, the Barney Fife approach to the right to bearing arms. . . You may bear any gun you wish but only ONE bullet!
