We can just convert our semi’s to full autos.

Shazam! The Semi’s are gone!

I might believe them if they were not also for mandatory national unlimited access to abortion subsidized by the government.

Abortion murders 1 million babies a year. Guns come nowhere close by a couple magnitudes.

Until then their hypocrisy floods over the country.

"There is no mention in the Second Amendment about an individual right to own and bear arms. The purpose of the Second Amendment was to placate those former colonies (and soon to be States), who feared the potential of a federal government acting like the King they just overthrew. The bulk of the military that fought the Revolutionary War was state militias (the modern equivalent of which is the National Guard) acting under the command of federal forces."

Bob Reid has been a practicing attorney for over 46 years and has been a resident of Tallahassee since 1989. Reid’s practice has involved, among other matters, both state and federal constitutional issues.

With all do respect, this author is categorically wrong, and is promulgating a narrative born out of the flawed Miller decision that not only is contraindicated in both the history and past legal writings, but in the Heller decision he so casually dimisses. But since the article is written for people not familiar with the history, but relies on the appeal to authority argument, even lefty Lawrence Tribe has cincluded that the right is an individual right.

I presume they oppose abortion, too, then.

It’s imperative Americans have ownership of weapons whose sole purpose is to destroy an out of control government.

NO.

I will not give up my weapons to assuage your white communist guilt.

My prediction for their gun plan is they will just keep things going down the cultural slope like it has been for the last 100+ years, while keeping everyone fat and entertained. There is no confiscation for a very long time. They pass their laws, executive orders and court rulings against importation, manufacturing and new purchases and wait for the guns to be turned in or registered as required as the decades roll on and the generations pass. Eventually nobody will bother to get off the virtual reality couch when they do come pick up great great grandpa’s dusty guns.

It is self-evident that these weapons are not needed for either personal protection or for hunting.

Failure of logic and truth in this statement invalidates the entire article, Bob. I have used my weapons for both self-defense AND hunting varmints that kill my chickens and damage my wife's plants. I'm sure several million other individuals have done so as well. You are a liar and a propagandist for those who would implement totalitarian rule.

The Left appears to be begging to get the boogaloo going.

Jacobin madness.

Abortion is a tool that the sole use is to destroy human life. Weapons are the fourth branch of government to protect the Constitution.

“There is no mention in the Second Amendment about an individual right to own and bear arms”


That’s funny. When I read the second Amendment I read “...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” I’m sure if the Founders had meant ‘state governments’ they would have said so..

Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe.

The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.

“It is now more than evident that it is very dangerous for a society to allow for the widespread distribution and ownership of weapons whose sole purpose is to destroy human life.”

That may be, but not a single weapon being sold fits the description “whose sole purpose is to destroy human life”.

For instance, AR rifles punch holes in paper well, and are also extremely useful for hunting. There’s not much better when a bunch of pigs are tearing up your fields...

At the moment, I feel MUCH safer with those weapons available than I would if they weren’t...especially with the current crop of criminals wrecking our country!
