The Most Interesting Man In The World

Almost forgot, The 18th Amendment? it was clearly an Uncostitional Amendment that still required the majority vote. BUT? REPEALED because they finally admitted it was unconstitutional and failing anyway..Which begs the question as to how they passed drug prohibition laws without an Amendment..POINT BEING? The U.S government began shitting on the Constitution before the ink was dry..

I pointed out that a person can not claim to support the Constitution if they support ANY law that clearly opposes it..That meme is clearly intended for gun grabbers. Well? again even so called 2nd Amendment supporters don't actually support it as written

Ironically, the initial authors of the constitution opposed the idea of a bill of rights, because they wanted the constitution to be an exhaustive list of what the government could do, and a list of what it can't do would assume that there is some grey area. Personally, I don't know whether or not excluding a bill of rights would have stopped America from getting to the point where it is now, but now that we're here I'm glad we do have one.

Contrary to what some people tend to believe, the purpose of the Second is not for hunting, or self defense, or target shooting. It is to ensure that the government is controlled by the people and not the other way around.

Still, I hear people saying that this doesn't apply to what people are calling "assault rifles" ( although I can't imagine any modern military using a sporting arm for battle). The Founders couldn't possibly be meaning to include the AR-15 because it didn't exist yet.

So does the First Amendment apply to TV and internet? Neither were around yet, but here we are watching the news, watching televangelists, and the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion still apply. Isn't it the same thing?

Let us remember that the idea was to have a citizenry that was just as armed as the government in order to avoid the type of strongarming that happened in the European countries the founding fathers came from. It was a means to keep the government in check, or at least give the average person a fighting chance. You must also remember that humanism was still a big idea, and the notion that an individual person mattered was at the core.

Absolutely. Even though I love this president I am still very mistrustful of our government as a whole and have no reason to believe that they will do what is in my best interest voluntarily. In the words of Ronald Reagan...

"The scariest words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"

Are you even slightly aware of how much gun restriction legislation Reagan signed and supported since his Gov of Cali days all the way past his Pres tenure?

I agree. I remember when he said them. Even though I was a kid it still struck me how the president could say something like that.

Here's some more of Reagan fer ya.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Reagan did a lot of stuff while he was in office that I didn't understand at the time. I was a child at the time. While he did say some pretty profound things I don't worship him as you seem to believe.

Unlike the Obamadrones and Hillary lunatics who can't seem to get past the fact that neither of them will ever hold a public office again.

Of coursae you're not sure. The again, I'm not the one making a point, Reagan was.

Ron's dead, ya know.
Sad that you're still bent out of shape over 8 yrs of Obama, but no worries, you won't get over it, and that is so awesomely good to know.

Oh, I'm way over The Great Divider and am thrilled that he is finally gone to become a sad little footnote in history. Quite possibly the worst president ever, certainly the worst in modern times. Even better is the fact that the old hag isn't our president and never will be, a fact that many cannot seem to fathom.

Aww, poowr widdle muthikkklan thtill cwyin becauthe tha negro divided his flaggelating buttcheeks too wide?

Yeah, what is the fascination with you people and Hillarat? The DNC fixing nitwit lost, guy, TWICE. Get over it. Or do you need to post more fap memes for that to finally sink in?
The first election where the winning side is the one whining about the loser losing. Birds of a feather, eh?

Sad.

Gee,did you come up with that all by yourself or did you enlist the help of a toddler?

Actually with my old ma that has her been waiting with her legs spread fer yer lil pecker since last month.

Great! I ran the wheels off of that old gash once and I'll do it again!

The idea was to have a well regulated militia made of armed citizens when needed to protect the state should the British Crown return to take back control of their colonies.

Funny how those that can't comprehend that can't comprehend history either. Coincidence?

"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787

I think they were probably concerned about that too. But by 1787 they were no longer subjects of King George so I have to assume that they were talking about their own people and their own government. Having armed citizens is a great way to ensure that their own government never started acting like the king.

Yes, I am well aware of how it reads. I am also very aware of the reasons for it. If you have never read the Declaration of Independence you really should. You will have a whole new appreciation of why we have certain rights.

You should do that, read. Cuz all ya do is burp bullshit.

What have I posted that was bullshit?

Everything you say is a lie.

The ultimate goal of Democrats is total gun confiscation. I have no reason at all to believe otherwise.

As all their legislation to do so proves. Idiot.

It's an inherent assumption of the Bill of Rights that rights are necessary. That's why the document exists.

That almost totally obscured by Mr Strangely Compelling Kikkoman Soy Sauce clocks this one past the A mark.
A++, super upvote for you!

Here's a fact. You're not part of a well-regulated militia.

Such is western society these days. It's all rights this and freedom that and bugger any negative consequence that they bring.

I have something to say - NONE OF YOU FEDORA TIPPING WANNABE INTELECTUAL PLEBS ARE FIT ENOUGH TO BE IN A WELL REGULATED MILITIA.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

INTELLECTUAL*

Oh, the irony.

That is true and a pertinent quote from the Holy Gospels, however, Christ is not saying that all swords should be in the hands of the government or police, and that no one has a right to own one. He himself said in MT 10:34, "Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

My "sword" I.e., weapon, is exactly where it belongs. Tucked safely into its holster on my side. The rest are locked away in a fireproof vault so my miniature people cannot access them. We are having family range day in a bit where we will be firing a few hundred rounds out of my "assault rifles" as you call them. You are welcome to join us if you like. You may learn something.

I'm sure this will upset a bunch of snowflakes..
