Again, you realize that you are depending on YOUR interpretation of the 2nd Amendment which may or may not match the reality that exists. You seem to think you know what I feel about the 2nd Amendment but your 2nd and last paragraphs show how little you actually know about my feelings on the subject.
As long as you realize I interpret what I say, and you don't, we'll be fine. You are one of the "them" about whom I am talking. It doesn't matter to me, personally, what their interpretation is if it restricts my possession of a firearm by some fantasy interpretation of the 2nd amendment and pretending to "know" what the "founding fathers" were thinking even they they did and said differently.
For instance: you apparently think the 2nd amendment only protects firearms that are NOT for the purpose of killing people! That's the kind of hair brain interpretation about which I mentioned. The firearm(s) I have and have had for my self-protection and the protection of anyone in the household in which I find myself is for one purpose: shooting anyone who comes at us unannounced and uninvited.... if they die so be it.
The government doesn't give me the "right" to possess a firearm.
Again that's where yours and my philosophies collide.
It also collides with Liberal thinking in that regard .... that the 2nd amendment protects only hunting weapons. It doesn't just protect "hunting weapons"! Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

That is NOT what the 2nd Amendment states. It is what you would LIKE the 2nd Amendment to state. People have the right to own guns. If you say or even imply that I've said anything other than that you are lying once again. Laws have limited what guns can be owned.
You're a fucking mendacious liar when you claim the Founding Fathers were "vague" and "unclear", speedy, because the majority of them were explicit in saying that it was a fundamental right for American citizens to own guns, speedy. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

#1: You don't even know what is "deadly force"!
#2: You are not familiar with the "continuum of force"!
#3: You've had no personal protective training (or you skipped classes!)
Now go fantasize a new conspiracy. Originally Posted by LexusLover

The Founding Fathers were not fucking "vague", you equivocating lib-retard, they fucking knew exactly what they meant when they wrote the article, and it damn well means -- and always has meant -- that the American citizen has the right to own and bear arms, you lying SOB. It's your miserable ilk's equivocation and parsing of words and commas that keeps bringing the article to court, not the Founding Fathers meaning and intent. They were clear.
I'm not sure why you are singling me out. Here is what Dilbert wrote on this subject in post # 30:
"it was the way it was written. it is a compromise language.
there were states that did not want to allow gun ownership. others wanted it limited to militia and others wanted the ability to own it whether they were in the militia or not."
I would say that Dilbert also believes the 2nd Amendment is vague. Even LL mentioned the vagueness of the 2nd Amendment in post #36:
"The "vagueness" of the amendments anticipated changes in our society and the SCOTUS has recognized the "morphing" of our society and crafting exceptions to the general rules to meet those changes and the new circumstances created by them."
Below is what SCOTUS said in McDonald v. Chicago, which pretty much matches my opinion on the subject. You can continue to rant and rave and LIE about how I feel on the subject if you like.
"It is important to keep in mind that Heller, while striking down a law that prohibited the possession of handguns in the home, recognized that the right to keep and bear arms is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose . . .We made it clear in Heller that our holding did not cast doubt on such longstanding regulatory measures as 'prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms'. . . . We repeat those assurances here. Despite municipal respondents 'doomsday proclamations, incorporation does not imperil every law regulating firearms." Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Where do you get your "detective magazines"? Or do you just stick with "Blazing Muzzles" for your tactical instructions?
MOJO .. you're making a fool of yourself.
Apparently you've never had any personal protection training, or you wouldn't be trying to attack my training, experience, and re-qualifications. But what you don't understand is ... you just violated the #1 rule in the RW ... which is ... don't underestimate your opponent. Originally Posted by LexusLover

Hunting, self defence, etc. were all accepted but unstated reasons.
What I find of interest, is the inclusion of militia. Note that the 2nd is not citizen rights mistakenly interpreted to flow from militia rights, this is militia rights being added to accepted civilian rights.
One only has to understand the history of Capt John Parker's stand at the Lexington Green to understand this.
Does the concept of the government searching for weapons among civilians sound familiar?
Last, although the Posse Comitatus Act became law just after the civil war, there are references in discussion material that the Brit march on Lexington over a century before was mentioned as a preventable example.

Add to that their concern was not the "colonial governments (states)" but the central government (the Feds), which is why the Bill of Rights were focused so long as a prohibition against the Feds.
Not really. I just have one. You don't.Hahaha, You're all about nothing. You should look up the "You Tuber" Jason Blahah you're in league with that dreamer.
