Hey retard, when the Second Amendment was written, there were no such thing as machine guns. If you want to own a machine gun, fine. Drop the four grand it takes for a Class III license. If you don't and you get caught then take your punishment and have a steaming hot cup of STFU.
Maybe you are correct. However, NO ONE EVER should be denied IN ANY SHAPE MANNER OR FORM from appealing to the constitution to overturn ANY law, and I don't give a damn who passed it. It is a way way way bigger issue than machine guns.
You must be very retarded yourself, since you're unable to find out what a Puckle Gun, circa 1718 was.
A predecessor of both the Gatling and the US Constitution, one of its several advertised features was its ability to use special ammunition against invasion by Moslem Turks, a serious threat to the British Empire at that time.
You surrender your rights to easily. Did you actually read the article? The point he is trying to make is valid and has to do with States Rights AND Federal jurisdiction. If he wins Fed power will be diminished (eventual) in many areas. In my book that is a good thing. Guns are the mechanism to beat back Federal rights expansion.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit stated in 2001 that:
"there are numerous instances of the phrase 'bear arms' being used to describe a civilian's carrying of arms. Early constitutional provisions or declarations of rights in at least some ten different states speak of the right of the 'people' [or 'citizen' or 'citizens'] "to bear arms in defense of themselves [or 'himself'] and the state,' or equivalent words, thus indisputably reflecting that under common usage 'bear arms' was in no sense restricted to bearing arms in military service."
When the First Amendment was written, there were no such things as keyboards....should we have to drop a few grand for a license, or go back to writing with quills?
Hey, brain trust, how 'bout an ice cold bowl of frozen outhouse stew?
I sure hope you don't kiss your momma with that mouth.
In any case, when the Constitution and the Bill of Rights was written, we didn't have television, radio or the Internet. So, by your less than lucid argument, the First amendment doesn't apply to those mediums.
If undue government interference into the privacy and rights of American citizens isn't high on your list of priorities, what are you on this board for? To be a boor?
Sounds like you need a good lecturing to.
Retard? Well, Mr. Smart-guy...there were cannon when it was written...and one is prohibited from owning a cannon now.....
Your response?
