Because it is our Right

The SCOTUS says there are limits to that Right.

While you demand your "Right" to assault weapons based on a naive, unsupported, and quite frankly liberal interpritation of the 2nd Amendment (are you in a well regulated militia, or are you being selective in your reading?), cops are being killed by assault weapons. The AWB gives them the tools to prosecute these thugs before they use them.

You'll never catch me making the liberal argument for putting assault weapons in the hands of criminals.

What the hell are you talking about??

You are an idiot.

It is the Bill of Rights not the Bill of Needs.

Your uninformed opinion is not welcome or needed.

People like Mulder and me will keep you out of an oven.

Trust me, it is NOT for you, it is for my fellow Americans that are not communists. You will survive because of our actions.

The SCOTUS could declare the earth is flat, for all I care. That doesn't make it so. Any ruling not based on the Constitution is null and void.

While you demand your "Right" to assault weapons based on a naive, unsupported, and quite frankly liberal interpritation of the 2nd Amendment

First, the amendments merely enumerate some of our Rights. If the Bill of Rights were abolished tomorrow, we would still have the Right to Free speech, the Right to travel, the Right to bear arms, etc.... There was even considerable debate over whether or not to include them in the Constitution since they feared that some folks in the future would wrongly conclude that simply because something wasn't listed, the gov't had free reign to infringe upon it.

are you in a well regulated militia, or are you being selective in your reading

"Well regulated militia" is a dependent clause. The independent clause (i.e., stands on its own) cleary enumerates our Right to keep and bear arms. Furthermore, at the time of the Consitutional Convention, all able-bodied men were considered to be in the "militia". "Well-regulated" simply means well-trained.

cops are being killed by assault weapons

Oh really? Can these assualt weapons do yardwork and do they talk also?

The AWB gives them the tools to prosecute these thugs before they use them.

So you think anyone with an AR-15 or AK-47 is a "thug"?

You'll never catch me making the liberal argument for putting assault weapons in the hands of criminals.

So you don't think your typical anti-gun cop or federal JBT should have assault weapons? Well, we finally agree on something.
