Except in 2018 the US military uses short barrel shotguns. So I doubt the Trump SC would agree. (As a matter of fact, thanks to Obama's BATF, in 2018 you can buy a short barrel not-a-shotgun, without additional NFA paperwork.)
A. Miller never showed
B. What exactly were "trench sweepers"?
C. The author uses the "states rights" interpretation, which was shot down by Heller.
At least the truth comes out, sort of.
I fully support the left trying to repeal the 2nd thru a Constitutional amendment. But, they won’t.
What I do not support is the left, a bunch of cowards, doing the equivalent thru unconstitutional means, thru the courts, thru bad law, thru unconstitutional statutes and bureaucratic restrictions and regulations.
The force itself, currently numbering about 125, is responsible for security of the court building, its inhabitants, and it visitors. Additionally, they provide personal protection to the Justices at all times.
Does stevens want his protection to give up their weapons?
Hell no, he just wants me to give up my protection so some snot nosed little prick named Hogg will feel good.
Piss off/on jps.
At least he is calling for it to be done via the amendment process, which is Constitutional.
The Left usually achieves such ends via slimy underhanded tricks.
What is Weaponized Empathy? It's when you use people's morals and empathy to manipulate them into serving your own political agenda. It's basically an advanced kind of guilt-tripping designed to get people who really do care about others to vote for their own enslavement.
Guns kill children! We need to do everything we can to get rid of guns! Don't you agree? What? Do you want to see kids murdered? You don't hate little children, do you? I know you're a caring person and you would never want to see children die. Surely you don't have a problem with just a little sensible gun control, right? You're a good person, right?
It's a bit like using love to get a partner to go along with something they really do not want to do. "If you really loved me, you'd let me do it."
And there it is. We knew it was coming. But Oh they said we’re all just freaking out for nothing cause nobody is trying to take away our guns. Uh huh. We’re not idiots. We could see the writing on the wall.
Yeesh, when start off with a paragraph this wrong, you know it's going to be a doozy.
1. Rallies do not show evidence of public support.
2. The 2006 nationwide pro-illegal rallies were much more impressive.
3. Nothing about that rally demands any more "respect" from the Right than the Left gives to the annual March for Life anti-abortion rally in D.C.
Another retarded ‘legal scholar’ who doesn’t understand the difference between the National Guard and a militia in the sense that the Founders meant.
Except in 2018 the US military uses short barrel shotguns. So I doubt the Trump SC would agree. (As a matter of fact, thanks to Obama's BATF, in 2018 you can buy a short barrel not-a-shotgun, without additional NFA paperwork.)
Typical Libtards Overreach.
Should Justice Stevens now be recused (forcefully) from any case before the court that concerns guns or the 2A?
I mean seriously, read this, and remember he was sitting on the Court during its District of Columbia v. Heller decision. It's infuriating. He may be recycling his already-stated opinions, but it's clear he's doing so again at an opportunistic time.
IF they can repeal the 2nd based on false stats, fear mongering and “for the children”, all the rest can be repealed using the same method.
At least he admits that the 2nd Amendment was created as a defense against standing armies.
Notice that he does not promote getting rid of a standing army...only the 2nd amendment.
To me, they go part and parcel. Can’t do one without the other.
This is an extremely important admission from a former Supreme Court Justice!
The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with hunting, or home protection. It was created to protect ourselves from a standing army controlled by the Federal government.
He calls the 2nd a relic of our past. And, yet, here we are with the largest, most technologically advanced standing army that the United States has ever had. If anything, the 2nd is more important today than ever before.
“These demonstrations demand our respect.”
This guy is a special kind of stupid.
No, the Bill of Rights demands respect. We don’t need to respect the voices of children being manipulated by the left.
Come and take them, Sally!
Yeah....how hard could it be?
(roll eyes)
The sentiments of those in power toward repealing the right to bear arms is exactly why the 2nd Amendment is so critically important.
based on a lie. In oral arguments before the court, the government lied (surprise!) and said sawed off shotguns are not used by the military, when in fact they had been used to great effect in WWI in the trenches of France.
