Dig, I was thinking about this earlier: ANYBODY who brings up the constitutional right to own guns is on my shit-list. That includes you!

In fact, you just laid a big turd in this forum with this cockamamie thread.

Thanks! And because of our right to free speech, you're able to say whatever you want - popular or not, right or wrong. That's the great thing about the constitution. Start chipping away at that little by little, in the name of security, and eventually we don't truly have a Republic any more.

My user name, "GunsMadeAmericaFree", is meant to remind folks that without access to guns, we would likely have remained under the domination of an outside power, and never become independent, with the rights that we obtained.

What you mean is "weapons equivalent to our oppressors." That ship has sailed. Let me know how your best weapon fares against a hellfire missile.

But we're not chipping away at it. Your right to bear arms would still remain intact; you just couldn't pop down to the corner store to buy an AR-15 and take quick ownership. As the SCOTUS noted in its decision, the 2nd Amendment is not a carte blanche to buy anything you want and carry it wherever you want.

And while you're mentioning free speech: remember, if the forum operators had banned Muse for his statement, that would also be protecting the 1st Amendment. Private companies are directly exercising their free speech rights when they ban someone violating their otherwise legal policies. So when Facebook or Twitter bans someone for hate speech or known misinformation (despite what some conservatives falsely claim, that's why they actually get banned), I see that as a victory for free speech — it means the government didn't force them to carry content they didn't want to host.

From the opening paragraphs of DC vs Heller (you know, the Supreme Court decision that affirmed an individual's right to keep and bear arms):

2. Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. Pp. 54–56.

Best go back in time and tell the SCOTUS that they were wrong, too.
@GunsMadeAmericaFree Did you miss this from Heller?

Criminals often don't get their guns legally (they're criminals, after all, with criminal intent). I keep seeing the government pass more and more laws restricting guns, more and more 'hoops' and red tape that law abiding folks have to go through to buy or own a gun. Let's not kid ourselves - the end goal for that kind of thinking is to eventually make it so annoyingly difficult to get and keep a gun that few folks will bother.

Who are you talking to?

Without them, we probably wouldn't have slaughtered million of indigenous people too.

And what you don’t get is that you and your ilk, aka ammosexuals, is that you are the oppressors. Guns aren’t the keepers of democracy, they are the destroyers. The keepers of democracy are the people. You’ll never get it though because you are the very thing you claim to be protecting us from, authoritarians.

the whole idea of "guns making America Free" is stupid.
Guess what guns also do? Topple gov'ts too. So the very tool (he) claims to have brought freedom can just as easily bring oppression (and has in many MANY places throughout the world).

Buy hey - bang bang! pew pew!

Exactly and it’s why the framers of the constitution specifically laid out that the federal government was to use militias to put down insurrections and rebellions and it’s why they specified who creates the training requirements and who does the training for those militias. If the founders were around today they would be disgusted at the perversion of the 2nd amendment. It’s also why they made it so change was slow and deliberative and with so many checks and balances. But gun nutters will never understand what true patriotism looks like because they’ve never read the constitution or bothered to understand it.

Have you ever entertained the thought that you should come out from behind that rock behind which you are hiding? It wasn't the guns that made America free, it was the determination to not be dominated by a foreign power. Guns were tools in doing that. However, you're (or mine or whoever) ability to buy and possess assault rifles is not keeping us free. It's actually restricting our rights to live free and reasonably care free lives. We are making our children fear for their lives every time they go to school. That isn't freedom, that is tyranny.

Even Scalia said regulations on firearms are constitutional.

You need better material

- Well we all know that Scalia is just another RINO and degenerate deep state liberal groomer and yet another example of why the right has to go even further right to get even moderate conservative policies passed.

OP, are you my Q niece in disguise?
Are you too going to post photos of kids killed at Robb Elementary School claiming were the very same photos of the kids killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School?
Are you too going to post photos of the murdered Robb Elementary School teacher, Irma Garcia, claiming is a different woman than of that pictured with husband Joe Garcia?
Are you too, as my Q niece has done, going to post photos claimimg the photos of children in both Sandy Hook Elementary School AND Robb Elementary School shootings were all hired child actors, hired by anti-gun liberals to fake a school shooting to further liberal gun laws?
Sandi.... is that you?

Gong into P&N Middle name also seems appropriate for this thread:

Hmm. I've read that there were HUNDREDS of instances of kids as young as 12 signing up to serve in state militias during the revolutionary war. Allowing them to sign up, carry weapons and fight certainly means that some of them got killed because of it, and likely some by friendly fire, too.

Sorry, I base my arguments on historical documents and reading. I have absolutely no regard or patience for conspiracy theorists, holocaust deniers and the like - never have. I just don't rely on emotional responses whenever some crackpot goes out and shoots up a school or other venue. I find the extremists who go out and shoot things up just as difficult to understand as I do the extremists who immediately have an emotional knee-jerk reaction on the other side. Emotions won't solve this.
