A well regulated militia.





10 U.S. Code § 246:
quote:

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.


2nd Amendment rewritten:
Organized and unorganized able-bodied citizens with arms in good order being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

When you ban firearms, you take them out the hands of law-abiding citizens and the only people who have them are the criminals.

How smart is that?

That was the interpretation by the Supreme Court for over 200 years until rightwing activists violated its original intent.

That's pretty fricking cut and dry.

Just abide the sign outside the Bank of Dumbass... don't rob us!

Ineffectual laws are not worth the paper they're written on.

Pretty smart since you reduce the number of would-be criminals and save lives.

You telling me I was breaking the law until 2008?

Nope. It was up to your state to make that determination.

So, you never did answer my question about boarder security. If we ban firearms, what would we do about illegal immigrants? MS-13? Bloods and Crips? Criminals in general. You were the one that whipped out Australia's ban, so tell me Rex, how does it work here? Do you want a wall? Stop and frisk? Tight boarder security and controlled immigration?

And it would have been the cop’s fault, not the gun’s.

Kick them out? So you're in support for an illegal immigrant round-up?

Sounds like he’s all for kicking out citizens too.

That’s not very accepting of Rex.

So are you calling for an all-out ban or to have the states determine gun rights?

Each state should be allowed to ban weapons, in whole or in part, according to their own choice, without having to abide the Supreme Court's b.s. interpretation that the Constitution guarantees an individual right to own guns.

So you're far left but advocate state rights and over something like the 2A? And can we apply the same to same-sex marriages? free speech and abortion?
