The 2nd Amendment was phooked by an earlier democrat named Kennedy.
The states that their legislators love gun control love Antifa.
The above is just for Chicago.
The US military, National Guard, Police number about 2,500,000 men.
VS.
20,000,000 civilian semi-auto rifle owners, and maybe 75 million other firearm owners, and over 400,000,000 firearms out there. 250,000,000 high cap magazines in private hands.
And the government thinks they can “regulate” that?
Can somebody please inform the mental midgets in Versailles on the Potomac that, quite frankly, they have no idea of what they are doing.
Can’t speak for other states, but in Delaware, you buy a gun at a gun show, you have to get checked out by the State Police. Same is true of internet sales. The firearm is shipped to a FFL dealer and the State Police check you out.
But then again, what can be expected of liars, thieves and perverts.
Taxation without representation is tyranny. Anyone that believes we are represented is a candidate to but ocean front property in Kansas.
They know exactly what they are doing. The problem is that peasants don't understand, nor do they want understand what they are doing. What they are doing is working on disarming the law abiding citizens of America. Along with robbing and stealing America blind. And while they are doing these things[quite successfully] they are turning America over to her enemies. The American peasant cares to know nothing of this. All they care about is Monday Night Football and watching their favorite info babe or info hunk on the six o'clock news. Until it happens.
Obama’s sons, ghetto thugs and all those who obtained their firearms through non approved channels are laughing all the way to their next home invasion.
The American peasants are waking up.
They woke enough the Left had to steal the last election.
Why don’t we simply make crime illegal? That would solve the problem completely.
Strict scrutiny will apply.
“right to keep... shall not be infringed” is absolutely violated by requiring one to register & pay (recurring) to “keep” what was lawfully obtained and merely kept (simply sitting in a locked safe, never used).
Unreal. Chicagoland ,shootings almost every day. It’s all about control of the law abiding , gun owning citizens. Bolsheviks like that Durban bank on the fact that his voters are a bunch of morons .
That’s funny. We said the same about sanctuary states for illegal immigration.
What goes around comes around Lefties.
“...which is hardly controversial among the vast majority of Americans,
Pure propaganda.
The leftists opened the door to this with the ‘legalization’ of marijuana.
Actually, the 2nd was mangled almost beyond recognition by the supreme court in 1939 in U.S. v Miller. Not so much by what was decided, but more so by the underhanded way the government itself lied to the court through omission about the use of sawed-off shotguns utility in warfare.
The money quote:
In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a "shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length" at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment or that its use could contribute to the common defense. Aymette v. State, 2 Humphreys (Tenn.) 154, 158.
(added emphasis mine)
Because Miller was not represented before the court, most likely because he was deceased, the court was not informed that sawed-off shotguns were used extensively in trench warfare during WWI. This is one of the misquoted supreme court decisions out there. If the NRA had been more concerned with gun control at the time than they were of hunting, we could have put section 922(o) to bed in 1938.
According to the plain words of the decision, any weapon that " has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia" is fully protected by the 2nd Amendment.
I advise anyone interested in the 2nd Amendment to read through the documentation at the above link. It has the most thorough documentation on the Miller case I have ever found.
Illinois the gun shot wound capitol of the US. 😄
Keep your powder dry.
It is dry and I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. I know it is going to drop. I just don’t know when. I will never unite with the Left or Democrats. Of course, as old as I am, never may be next week.
Yet IL is making marijuana legal, causing states on the border fits.
