...is the only common sense weapons law.

Everything else is an infringement.

Time to remove the F from the BATFE.
Time to repeal NFA.
Time to repeal FOPA.

Thankfully I live in a Constitutional carry state; and I have my CCW.
If I'm out of my house, I carry.

2A is for all Americans.

If you want or don't want to keep and bear arms, it's your Constitutional right. The Constitution does not affirm or deny any arms, i.e., keeping and bearing any arms is our right, and duty.

yep. and the Constitution applies here too. I avail myself of the Bill of Rights, which the government is required to enforce and protect, not infringe.

You know, the Bill of Rights are ensured, not controlled, by the Constitution, right?

That book is a piece of propaganda filled with complete bullshit. And it's author is a completely biased democratic presidential speech writer, attorney and political activist. Why anyone would think this piece of trash was factual is beyond me.

He called the 2A an obscure constitutional provision. The 2nd of 10 amendments that make up the Bill of RIghts, an obscure constitutional provision. Fuck this guy.

Didn't say it was factual. Said it was a good read. He comes to zero conclusions.
Just brings clarity to BOTH sides of the discussion on a poorly written amendment.

Was a couple stalls away from one of those at the range years back.
Just had to check out one round with my plugs out.

My fucked up shoulder couldn't handle the kick these days. :ROFLMAO:

I hear a lot of folks say the amendment is poorly written, but it seems crystal clear to me

I think its concision is a strength, not a weakness
 
Gotta say your avatar is the funniest I've seen in a while Donnie. :LOL:

Hopefully it gets a laugh out of members on both sides of the fence?

the amendment is well written, if you read it the way the Founding Fathers would have read it.

"Well-regulated" as understood by our Founding Fathers meant that an adult male citizen was expected to be knowledgeable and capable in the care and use of their weapons. If you weren't well-regulated, i.e., didn't know how to use your weapons you are of no use to the militia.

Every adult male citizen had the freedom and responsibility to "keep and bear arms", that is to own and use arms, and to be well-regulated with their arms.

Every adult male citizen was expected to be the militia; owning, using, caring for their own weapons. This is exactly what the citizens did in Lexington and Concord, the Minutemen assembled in minutes, and confronted a British force on their way from Boston to arrest patriot leaders and confiscate munitions from the colonists.

it's revisionists that have failed to see the actual meaning, either intentionally, with malice or basic stupidity

rsm pretty well covered it above — it means that all able men are expected to be capable of contributing to the common defense, as under the original conditions of the state’s founding

yep; all citizens are the militia. keeping and bearing arms is not only a right but a duty, as understood by our Founding Fathers. The minutemen militia in Lexington and Concorde wasn't organized, they answered the call in response to the British aggression; these colonists self-assembled in their towns. The name minuteman was from their quick and immediate individual response to the call to arms. This is what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they said militia

The specific word 'militia' as well as your phrase 'common defense' implies an organized effort to a degree.

Would this effort require unfettered access to firearms 24/7 for every single adult that wants it?
Do you see that right as guaranteed with no doubt in the current writing of 2A?
