The First Amendment is much more dangerous than the Second.
Wonder if any of these dipsh!ts ever considered what it is that protects them from despotism?
Willful stupidity!
After WWI returning vets wanted Mauser action bolt actions for sport, shooting and hunting, like the Springfields they were issued.
After WWII, same thing. People wanted auto-loaders. No American in 1918 or 1946 was asking the stupid question, “Why do you need a high-powered rifle?”
Today we want AR-15s and other similar modern sporting rifles because it is our God given right to keep and carry them.
We want them now especially because the masks are dropping and we now know the idiots asking that question today aren’t really interested in gun control.
They’re just interested in control.

It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished;
and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs,
and to KEEP AND CARRY ARMS wherever they went.
Re: “The press seems to relish in doing gun control stories in the week leading up to the annual convention of the National Rifle Association.”
Ah, that explains it.
MSN.com, my homepage, has featured gun violence stories for the last two weeks.
His name indicates that he is with TROP. Do the math.
Big government Marxists hate the fact that The People may be empowered. To them, Government is all.
“Of the people, by the people, for the people” is an idea that simply doesn’t exist in their vocabulary.

LOL! Even the Ninth Circus knows better, they even recognized it means more than just carrying arms, but buying them as well. They said as much their decision yesterday....
And even quoted a Founder in the process:
The historical record indicates that Americans continued to believe that such right included the freedom to purchase and to sell weapons. In 1793, Thomas Jefferson noted that “[o]ur citizens have always been free to make, vend, and export arms. It is the constant occupation and livelihood of some of them.”
