Exactly! Have some upvotes

Even the musket wasn't the most advanced weapon of its time. The air rifles and the Puckle revolving machine gun, both of which held more than five rounds, for example, were made before the Second Amendment was written. Besides, if we're going to have that argument, the First Amendment, logically speaking, should be limited solely to spoken speech.

Another thing, liberal twats who say that weapons like the AR-15, the AKS, or even the PTR-91, are "fully semi automatic short barrel assault rifles with the ability to disperse with a 30 magazine per caliber clip in half a second," and that they're too overpowered to be in the hands of civilians, these same twats are surrounded by men who carry around M4s and M16A4s, similar to how during the Great War, the Germans called the Winchester 1897 "inhumane," despite using senfgas and flammenwerfer (mustard gas and flamethrowers).

I was rambling there for a bit, but the point is, the Second Amendment is the constitutional law that protects... well, the constitution, and it says, plain and simple, that our right to bear arms shall not be infringed.

Agreed

I too tire of the "muskets" argument.

Yep some one already said that. Have some up votes

Who said that, Al Sharpton?

Celebrities

*morons

Celebrities who are morons

You can just say morons and it would still be the same thing

Not all celebrities are morons

True, but quite a few are

...they're not entirely wrong.

Then the argued "right" to affordable health care should apply only to the use of leeches and other 18th century medical procedures.

Maybe, if healthcare was actually in the constitution.

But it's not. But people "argue" that it's a right as if it were using terms like "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" as its justification.

It is the right to use, not the right to receive.

ever heard of the puckle gun?

They made like two of those

yes but the idea of an assult weapon was around before the bill of rights was written

The idea of a personal flying car has been knocking around for a while and there are even one or two working prototypes floating around, so to speak, but we quite literally haven't even begun to regulate how that's going to work when it becomes a common household item. Nor would I suggest that politicians spend their time doing so for just right now.

What do hypothetical changes in technology 80 years ahead of mass production that have barely been implemented have to do with contemporary legislation?

The constitution is the basis for legislation, a guide. It's not "contemporary," but was designed to hold lawmakers accountable to the standards contained therein when making laws. It has within it the pathway whereby it can be changed as the whole of society dictates, so that it remains relevant in all time-frames.

How about framing and twisting the construction to any which way they please

Supreme Court

Oh. Well have some upvotes

It doesn't twist unless the vast majority of the population agrees on it. The SC has been tasked with interpretation, which checks laws that seek to do just that. It doesn't change "on a dime", the intent of each statement is inshrined in the Federalists papers.

SC?

things change on a dime

Which amendment is the one about flying cars?

Uh, SCOTUS vehemently disagrees with you

Me?

Oh XD

Europeans seem to think they know better than us about every part of our nation and how to run it. I've just stopped paying attention to them, tbh. We don't generally scream that Scandinavia needs to change their system(though many of us do think it's pretty stupid), yet they can't show us the same respect.

No, it was so that they can have militia ready on notice since they had no army nor could afford one.

In order to get all the colonies to sign on, there had to be compromises in terms of power allocation, alleviating concerns of a centalized goverment becoming to strong and possibly tyranical. But the need for a ready armed militia to defend the State is what the 2nd Amendment states and for the simple reason that that was its purpose.

Um, yeah, but no.
You can always tell that to the Union re: the Confederacy.

How about this, let's play quote the quote. Skip the NRA proganda, and let's see what the Founding Fathers WROTE.

If you believe people like Ben Franklin, who lived most of his life in hiding, surrounded by heavily armed regular people with no ties to any government or militia did not want the people to be as armed as the government—your a moron who believes what the rest of the morons simply made up 150 years after the fact.

I'll skip your adorable irrelevent "Ben Franklin under self imposed house arrest" story (which means what?) and just stick to what the Second Amendemnt says, which, unsurprisingly, you neglected to quote.

"MemeSpirited

.... your a moron"

you're*

Oh, the irony.

Go back to sleep, moron.

You don’t know what the second amendment says. It is written in a language you think you know, but really don’t. Those words do not mean what you think they do from the language you know. You can read the entire constitution, but if you do not know the language it is written in, you will not know that it says things like all black people are slaves. And not only that—That all rights and privileges it confers only apply to White people. It also prohibited even White women from voting. When you read the Constitution you don’t know what it says because it is written in a language you do not understand. Originally, only a white man could marry a white woman. Homosexuality was illegal. it Wasn’t until the last 60-70 years that these things changed. You will not be able to know any of that if you read the Constitution.

tl:dr

Skip. your. silly. partisan. hackery. and post. the. Second. Amendment. aleady.

Most famous quotes from Ben Franklin acknowledge the fact that he was wanted for execution for most of his life. If you don’t know that, you are a fool.

And happy Easter. It’s very similar to the story of Jesus Christ, who was killed by government execution. In fact, there’s a book written about it. It happens to be the number one book in all human history.
