“If the government is going to start defining what we can have based on its definition of need, the country is finished.”

Bullcorn!! If the government proclaims “You don’t neeeeeeeed an AR-15!”, then you arm up and say “Come and take them, bitch!”

Maybe shots will be fired and flesh will be cut. But bring it, Deep State!

This is why we pay $20 to $25 for buffets.

That is so funny. Where do you live? I’ll buy you a cup of coffee.

The moron doesn’t realize that laws are already being passed against the Second Amendment. More of the Second Amendment is being ignored and violated each term, insidiously and covertly by Republicans and loudly and overtly by Democrats.

Every able-bodied man is part of the militia. Even the Illinois constitution specifies this to be true.

Nor was it a bunch of undisciplined clowns but its members held regular training sessions. Even so a militia was not an effective military force.

Today it is pretty much a useless idea given the highly advanced military forces of major nations.

Yes.

Yesterday, we learned from Congressfeces Joaquin "Jokey" Castro that it's the job of a US House representative to get any constituents who didn't "vote the right way" fired from their jobs or beat up by violent Leftists.

Not to advocate for them or assist them in dealing with the Federal government. That's so yesterday.

Better get to it. Can’t wait for the mass Gun confiscations to start.

It will make the first Civil War look like a day at Disneyland.

The 2nd Amendment is why the Democrats have not completely seized power and must resort to cheating.

Elie is why you can’t find cookies in the store.

Elie is why you need to stand in line 25 minutes for a cheeseburger.

Elie is why your kids can’t have an ice cream cone.

Elie is why Guam may tip over.

Elie is why the Earth may stop rotating and everyone will fall off.

Lexington/Concord was the result of the Crown sending troops to confiscate guns and ammunition. That's the start of the 2nd. Amendment.

That was individuals, joined together, with firearms that were in many cases superior to what the British Troops had to keep the then government from taking their weapons and ammunition, mostly the ammunition in this case since the citizens were all already armed.

1) Every politician out there would be happy to see the citizenry dis-armed

2) Without the Second, “...with the consent of the governed” means nothing.
