These idiots still have not figured out that the moment they assign “The Right Of The People To Keep and Bear Arms” as a Collective Right and therefore subject to the total control or outright dismissal by the Government, they are also attempting against the rest of the Bill Of Rights.
Next time some Laddite parrot tells you that the 2A only applies to the National Guard, ask them to explain the difference in interpretation between The Right Of The People in the Second Amendment versus the interpretation of The Right Of The People in the First, Fourth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments.
If you are really on a cruel streak, ask them to explain DC v. Heller and then McDonald v. Chicago.
Get a mop before you do that: they will either spit in rage, drool with idiocy or their brains explode in ignorance.
PS: Always good reading to remember: The Embarrassing Second Amendment.
Pick and choose. Not applicable to our Constitution. Accept them all or call for an Amendment (good luck with that).
You’d think that they’d actually know something about the issues before shooting their big bazoos off, but you’d be wrong.
I believe that both sides of the subject have projection issues. They know that they’d be violent if they had the power to be, so they expect that we would be. We understand learn about the subject and get familiar with the arguments before trying to argue our position, so we expect them to do the same.
Why is it that they fail to live up to our standards and we fail to live down to theirs?
“Why is it that they fail to live up to our standards and we fail to live down to theirs?”
I refuse to have a voluntary lobotomy to “meet” their standards.
If both sides were honest it wouldn’t be a problem. It’s not an honest difference of opinion though, they’re just a bunch of liars.
absofragginglutely.
How cute, he read one little book he cited (well, at least he did not pull it out of thin air) as his justification for the RKBA as a collective right. He notes the National Guard as that legitimate body. He does not understand that the National Guard did not come into existence until much later than the BOR.
Riddle me this, why does the BOR list all sorts of prohibitions from the government doing things against the People (as individuals) and then suddenly changes gears in the Second Amendment so it’s talking about a right for the collective? Sorry, logic fail.
IT IS SO SIMPLE TO DETERMINE INTENT. LAWS OF DRIVING WERE WRITTEN INTENDING WE DRIVE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD…WE DRIVE ON THE RIGHT. 2A WAS WRITTEN WITH THE INTENT THAT INDIVIDUALS KEEP WEAPONS ON THEIR PERSON, IN THEIR HOMES/BUSINESSES, WHILE RIDING IN A CARRIAGE, WHILE ON HORSEBACK..YOU GET THE PICTURE. SO FOR A COUPLE OF HUNDRED YEARS THAT IS WHAT WE DID AS A FREE PEOPLE. IF THE 2A INTENDED FOR US TO TURN ALL OF GUNS IN AND SIGN THEM OUT OF THE ARMORY FOR DRILLS , THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING SINCE 15 DEC 1791. THE ANTI GUN IDIOTS TEND TO MAKE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH. FORGIVE THE CAPS, THAT IS JUST THE WAY I TYPE. IF I WERE “YELLING” YOU’D DAMN WELL KNOW IT!
Well in netspeak, that is yelling. And to me, reading it was done by Jeremy Clarkson…so it was slightly amusing and annoying.
He’s obviously never read United States Code TITLE 10 > Subtitle A > PART I > CHAPTER 13 > § 311 Militia: Composition And Classes
(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.

Preaching to the choir, I know, but…
