All to many of our fellow Americans want that "nanny" state. They don't want to grow up, they want to be safe and taken care of with the least amount of effort.
I suppose that there's really nothing "wrong" about that, but that's not my preference, I prefer to earn my way as best I'm able.

"regulated". Do I win a prize?
Now then, tell me the meaning of that word in the context of the times in which the word was used.

Oh, goodie. Another "Here come the lefties for our guns! Again!..., For REALZ this time...No, seriously!!"
Meanwhile, at my gun-rack...'crickets'. Gunsafe in the barn?...'crickets'. Well surely, they are after my rifle in my saddle, and the one in my truck...'more crickets'. But when I go to town for ammo, I will surely get shut down...*crickets*
Has no paranoid "gun-grabbin', looney-tunes" ever read "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", or "Chicken Little"?

Yes, the point of the story is to shut your pie-hole until there is an actual emergency to talk about or nobody will take you seriously.
There is a country full of Pie-holes that need to grab their skirts, wipe their moist eyes and calm the heck down. Nobody is coming for your guns.
Cut it out.
Panicking does NOT equal vigilance.

Do you have some ingrained need to be insulting to people who happen to disagree with you? Or is it just me?
Just curious.

p.s. Arms in that context meant anything that the government could have to deny people their liberties. Also, we do have restrictions on carrying swords right? Well, arms would have included pikes and swords then as well, so any law restricting the bearing of swords and pikes should also be deemed unconstitutional...

Thinking that it wasn't that is like thinking that we happened to give Iran 400 million while they were releasing three hostages because it was THEIR money...lol... I'm sure you swallowed that line too...

That was, as best I know, portions of the govt. against other portions of the govt., a wide spread insurrection it was not.
Gun guy? Nope. Plural--guns. As in multiple. More than one.
