Resisting most any kind of reasonable restrictions on firearm purchases such as age says to me that yes indeed the gun nuts do want to live like that.

Exactly. There needs to be an age limit to buy handguns and pistols. Like maybe 21.

Yet another mass shooting that won’t get any attention:

Mother, father, 6 year old daughter shot dead in their tent by a white 23 year old. Seemingly random. 9 year old boy survived.

This is about an hour east of Cedar Rapids.

Tell me you're not glad they didn't have a gun at that moment..

[Cono Este]

Why in the name of Dog should a Hospital need armed security? Oh, right too many assholes with guns that should not have them.

It doesn’t matter what you think, it’s what’s needed.

[Mazderati]

What's needed is fewer guns but we all know it's not about what's needed.

You move goalposts quite well or perhaps you did not understand the statement.

However there is this as a data point:

Ban snakes

[Bunion 2020]

Its probably more difficult to legally buy a Constrictor than a firearm.

Please stop. You don't have to go through a NICS check for a snake. And they're on sale.

Yes, the US Military is the perfect example of.................

"A Well Regulated Militia"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So fuck off with that false equivalency that because an 18 year old can carry an assault style weapon in the US military they should be able to go buy one anytime/anywhere they want.

' A well regulated Militia, in order to protect the security of a Free State, shall not be infringed. ... '

I'm sorry, but the US Military is Not an example of a militia.

... do not pass Go,
do not collect $200. ...

I guess you've never heard of a national militia.. The National Guard?? Even if the other branches don't fit your definition of national militia, they are certainly well regulated, are they not?? How is my 19 year old son on his own a "well regulated militia"?

Go to jail, go directly to jail LOL..

I do believe that Mr Stainless is on record repeatedly as saying the 18 year olds should not have access to firearms and particularly Assault style weaponry.

And for Mr. Stainless, Pythons are illegal in many states and are by definition constrictors.

dude - did you even bother to read your own Reference (?)
I have offered on at least three occasion that the national guard historically represented a "state militia" - until they became among the first deployed to Iraq... And

the purpose of the militia was to protect the 'Free State(s)' from a tyrannical Federal government -

claiming the US Military represents 'a well regulated militia' as described in the Constitution gets a Fail from me

( mostly, I try to ignore your junk.

I wish you had a hobby - like playing Monopoly - rather than trying to dominate internet forums...

it's tiring - ( and worse.

you want to know if people are masking (?) look at the crowd of any televised event --

it doesn't matter -
You can take precautions when you choose
( you know this ) )


please
Take. A Break.


no, your son is not a militia unto himself
( I'm more worried about You becoming a shooter ) --

That is an interpretation or your opinion, not a fact. The key word is "Was".

So is this.

The Second Amendment conceded nothing to the Anti-Federalists’ desire to sharply curtail the military power of the federal government, which would have required substantial changes in the original Constitution. Yet the Amendment was easily accepted because of widespread agreement that the federal government should not have the power to infringe the right of the people to keep and bear arms, any more than it should have the power to abridge the freedom of speech or prohibit the free exercise of religion.

Much has changed since 1791. The traditional militia fell into desuetude, and state-based militia organizations were eventually incorporated into the federal military structure. The nation’s military establishment has become enormously more powerful than eighteenth century armies. We still hear political rhetoric about federal tyranny, but most Americans do not fear the nation’s armed forces and virtually no one thinks that an armed populace could defeat those forces in battle. Furthermore, eighteenth century civilians routinely kept at home the very same weapons they would need if called to serve in the militia, while modern soldiers are equipped with weapons that differ significantly from those generally thought appropriate for civilian uses. Civilians no longer expect to use their household weapons for militia duty, although they still keep and bear arms to defend against common criminals (as well as for hunting and other forms of recreation).

The law has also changed. While states in the Founding era regulated guns—blacks were often prohibited from possessing firearms and militia weapons were frequently registered on government rolls—gun laws today are more extensive and controversial. Another important legal development was the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Second Amendment originally applied only to the federal government, leaving the states to regulate weapons as they saw fit. Although there is substantial evidence that the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was meant to protect the right of individuals to keep and bear arms from infringement by the states, the Supreme Court rejected this interpretation in United States v. Cruikshank (1876).

Time to sit in the shade and smoke a J, legal weed is such a wonderful thing.

[skiJ]

B. - my exception was not with your post, it was with the previous post.

( generally, I agree with you - and find you one of the more reasoned and thoughtful voices here - Thank you. )

my prior post quotes the Constitution - if The dude wants to claim some national militia protects the Free State(s), unfortunately I am going to call that out.


' Was' ? functionally, agreed ;

it remains the language in the Constitution.
unfortunately, the first thing the judges and the lawyers do is offer their "interpretation" of what clear language means.


Please., enjoy your J --


peace. skiJ
