"So you don't believe that today's prohibition on the manufacture of machineguns for civilian use, an extension of the NFA 34, violates the individual right to own such machineguns?"

The second amendment never protected that right. You say it does and is being violated. You have yet to support that.

"Sometimes you claim there is no right."

Nope. Never did. It's a natural right. I've said that time and again.

"Sometimes you claim the right is only for militias or states."

No, sometimes I claim the right is protected for members of a Militia.

You have this bad habit of claiming a right then acting as though it should be allowed because it's a right. "We have a right to keep and bear arms and you can't take that away" "We have a right to self defense whch means you can't stop me from using a gun".

Blah, blah, blah. You have a right. Yeah, so? We all have rights. My question to you is, is it protected and who protects it? That's all that matters.

So cool it with your pre-existing rights. List 50 of them and I'll agree with every one. List 1000.

All that matters is, is it protected and who protects it?

If a right is "disallowed" is that not tyranny?

Maybe that explains why your postings seems so strange. You really don't have a philosophy of government that matches what our Founders had nor what I have.

Do you care what the Heller decision is by the Supreme Court? Why would you?
