No doubt this doesn't violate the definition of "infringe". Right? Someone needs to school these miscreant assclowns. Wonder why the 2nd doesn't read like he wishes it did? Maybe cause the framers were a tad more intelligent than the current crop of CONgress critters?

Demonicrat Rep. Bill Foster should be locked away.

How exactly does 2nd protect 1st when it locked in the gun club?

>>Maybe cause the framers were a tad more intelligent than the current crop of CONgress critters?

No doubt.

“Well regulated” means that we practice frequently, and intensely!

That there is no delegated power for it never enters into it. These scum would cease to function if the 10th Amendment were honored as Law.

I have no idea what “assault weapon” means - it is a made up term. Further, I don’t “military-type” weapons means. I can’t think of any type of firearm that hasn’t been used by the military. Bolt action 30 caliber rifles are widely used by the military - are those included? Semi-auto rifles are used by the military. Semi-auto handguns are also used by the military. These terms are just an attempt to disarm the American public.

Well Mr. Foster, even if such a law based on your idea were to have been on the books, it likely would have been yet another one that was broken when incidents like Mandalay Bay, the Denver movie theatre, Sandy Hook, Columbine High School, and other such incidents were carried out.

Yo, Mr. Congressman, have you ever heard what precipitated all that unpleasantness on the green in Lexington back in the day?

Looks to me like you would've been a young man back then so it seems like you would've heard a little about it.

Dear Asshole Government,

I’m not going to do anything you say I have to do.

Keep your idiotic, useless laws to yourself.

Great, just what we need. Another law that criminals can sidestep.

I wonder how far Rep. Foster would go to take away those weapons that don’t meet his acceptable criteria? Given time, as far it takes, no doubt. That’s where the left ultimately goes. An unarmed populace is so much easier to subdue.

The leftists have been proposing this for the last fifty years. Gun club lock ups.

Reminds me of the ancient Greek politician who had everyone store their arms in a local temple during a meeting.
When the meeting was over, the people found the temple had been seized by the politician’s henchmen and the politician declared himself to be the sole ruler of the now unarmed public.

A well regulated militia. My interpretation is that it is to insure that the military is regulated BY the citizens ALWAYS.

How very European (german) of the UNITED STATES congressman.

There is a reason we can’t trust the paper pushers in DC. Politicians hate civilians and bureaucrats hate everyone.

I'm not pro-gun but support the Second Amendment not being tampered with. It's a matter of "Don't mess with my Constitutional Rights".

That being said, I have two comments about the inevitable push by the dems to use a tragedy to further erode our rights. One is that it doesn't make sense that there are devices that are legal that alter the performance of a legal gun to make it more deadly. The other is that I don't understand why people aren't terrified about the talk of a mental health provision for gun ownership. If that ever happened, everybody not in agreement with the gov would be declared insane and lose their Second Amendment rights!

You first Congressman. When NOAA and the IRS give up fully automatic weapons let’s talk.

Neveer forget what happened in Faneuil Hall,1775!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1995/05/31/when-the-redcoats-confiscated-guns/e38d0810-af85-4949-8d93-3da746601e65/?utm_term=.5d1c3f9ce03b

“Just after the Redcoats’ attempt to seize the arms of the rebel militia at Lexington and Concord in 1775, Gen. Thomas Gage ordered all the inhabitants of Boston to turn in their arms at Faneuil Hall for temporary safekeeping. When the people complied, troops seized the firearms, never to return them.”

NEVER FORGET!

“A well-regulated militia is completely consistent with having military-style arms put under lock-and-key in a regulated environment,”

actually, it means nothing of the sort...

Hmmm, I wasn’t aware that Rep. Foster had been given a seat on the Supreme Court and could rule on what the 2nd Amendment does or doesn’t say....
