how much more of it do you think we're supposed to accept?


They don't accept it for the first amendment.

They don't accept it for voting.

But we're supposed to bend over and let someone else define responsible.

Shall not be infringed in the second.

The enumeration, certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Which all mean the same thing.

Forget about due process and crimes be proven in courts of law.

Our RIGHTS can be determined on the whim of the mob.

The line should be drawn at semi autos and single shots,bolt and pump gun safety


In less than one page you just demonstrated the creep of infringement: your thread title is about a semi-auto sponsorship requirement. Neither the thread title nor the OP post itself says anything about anything else.

And now you want to extend it to "single shots," bolt actions, and pump action.

In less than one page, you've already shifted the argument. Your own argument.

imo in the 4th or 5th grade we should begin to teach again in schools with single shots and one could move up from there if interested. but that is all my opinion

i believe that single shots pumps and bolt actions should be the way they are now. it may not stop more violence alone but along with the responsibility of the seller to say this person buying seems to be mentally fit and a background check we could see an improvement and possibly get help for some suffering from mental instability. I also believe that medication usage should be part of the nics check. so i am not exactly on either side here

The help of the NRA?

The same NRA who has been taking Russian blood money to finance these terrorist attacks disguised as "school shootings".

The same NRA who has immature idiots like this moron (who should not have access to guns) committing deranged acts of anger for no rational reason.

i think you misunderstand
i am saying those bolts pumps and single shots should be left alone
you are stuck on contrary and only seek to undermine my thoughts

So all the usual liberal media suspects that have been pushing a narrative, that has produced no evidence, wants us all to believe that their pet scapegoat(The NRA) is also part of the Trump/Russia fake scandal?

You people are unbelievable.

I do not see this as an infringement as long as a clear path to ownership remains.
prove me wrong with something other than the word infringe

Only if you have thousands of dollars to spend.

Only if you wait for the feds to say you've been a good little person all your life.

And Only if your locals sign off on it.

So nope you can't own a full auto without a hell of a lot of infringement.

ok then
the reason i say this is because it seems obvious that the supreme court agrees with me that as long as a path of ownership remains then the level of infringement has not reached criminal or unlawful levels.

if you could prove me wrong then there would be no restrictions on any type of ownership. but you can not
so if the definition and how you interpret the word infringe is your only argument then you have no valid points left on the table.

It's not my fault that your syntax makes your points incoherent. I go by what people typed. You said

Since that's what you typed, I figured it's what you meant.


you are stuck on contrary


Yes, I disagree with your idea. You said that you "looked forward to both positive and negative input on the subject..." so don't whine about people giving you negative input.


only seek to undermine my thoughts


You can think whatever you like, and I can think that your thoughts are idiotic and unworkable and explain why I think that. That's how debate and discussion works. If you're not willing to listen to counterpoints to your own position, don't enter a debate in the first place.

That's not saying much.

Because they don't hold the same view they have on abortion,gay marriage as they do for gun rights.

You can take the second amendment. They ignore it.

You can take the other amendments. They ignore it.

You can use their same argument with the 14th amendment for the above issues for gun rights.

THEY IGNORE IT.

You would be correct if we were not talking about a right. In you scenario they could outlaw all guns but a red rider BB gun and say "you got a gun for your rights".

Do you think your single shots or my red rider meets the criteria of "well armed"“ as per what the 2nd says?

do you believe that that is a good or bad thing?
btw that would seem to be legal infringement until someone changes the laws.
i hate to do it but what about nukes and such should we legally infringe upon that right?
just look at kimmy blowing up the hills over there does he have the right to destroy portions of earth?
what if we had a kimmy here in usa doing such?

In DC v Heller, SCOTUS ruled that the requirement by DC that gun owners keep their weapons secured with a trigger lock was unconstitutional.

So, no. The litmus test is not simply "can you own a gun or not."

no i do not believe that my air gun was considered when forming the 2nd
i do not think they even gave thought to the style of weaponery at the time other that what the majority was armed with.
so the semi auto or what ever they were at the time were not widespread but they did have one or two guns at the time that could spit many rounds. they had cannons too

imo the police do not need semi autos either and they should not be getting surplus military weapons nor should you have a state of the art missile launcher

All the vitriol surrounding boom sticks is a bad thing.

The mob can be convinced of ANYTHING.

Which is why that piece of paper was created, to begin with.

Violating almost the entire Bill of Rights out of mass hysteria is not legal.

They've gotten away with it for so long, and they've not been called out on it.

That needs to change.

Don't bring nukes to a gun fight.

Hardly anyone wants one of those, nor could they afford one, and they are only a one shot deal, and there's no place to set one off.

Testing bans, and all that jazz.

I don't care about what Kim does.

What I do care about is the usual suspects trying to turn the United States of Dysfunction in to a police state like No Ko, and China, and RUSSIA!

Check out their gun laws.

We are sinking fast into one.

They didn't consider television or the internet when writing the first amendment either but it still applies.
I would say they put more thought into future weapons than future modes of communication.

The term "arms" typically refers to a long arm weapon in the range that a single person would use that would deal the destructiveness of one person fighting. You noticed they did not use the term "cannon" or other heavier category weapons as part of that right though they did have many categories that they could use too and not just "arms"...they could have said "any weapon know to man" but they purposely used "arms".
