Hey gun hater we were just outside watching an old B17 flying fortress fly over the house. We even fly on it once. That there was an weapon of war. At one time the gun haters wanted to ban people from having these on the grounds that the gun haters claimed people do not have a right to have military hardware.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

You keep making the same stupid mistakes in "logic".
If A then B does not mean the same thing as If not A, then not B.

The second amendment guarantees a right to bear arms for members of the militia.
That IS NOT the same thing as saying that people must be in the militia in order to have firearms.

It's like saying that a health care program is guaranteed to those over 65.
That doesn't mean that other people who are under 65 aren't eligible to be a part of the health care program. It just means that they aren't guaranteed to be eligible for it.

We aren't "picking and choosing".
Under our interpretation, both the "militia" and the "people" are important and have roles in the 2nd amendment.
Under your interpretation, you focus myopically and exclusively on "people".

Again, the fact that "the people" and "well regulated militia" ARE BOTH present in the 2nd amendment is important.

You poor simpleton.
Just because people CAN do something doesn't make that thing a right.
People CAN adopt, but adoption is a PRIVILEGE. Not a "right".

The fact that people have always been able to buy guns demonstrates NOTHING about whether or not owning a gun is a right.
It just means it is a PRIVILEGE that the American people have always had.

YOU CLAIM a right is infringed upon.
Can you show ANY COURT RULING which agrees with you?
ANY court ruling which shows a law that "infringes" upon a person's capability to buy a gun is somehow infringing upon the 2nd amendment?
The answer is NO. You can't.
And we all know that...

Well gun hater which group of people obey gun control laws? It is a simple question gun hater.
It's a stupid question.
And it avoids my point.

Just because you trot out the boring "only criminals will own guns" storyline doesn't negate the fact that it is the NRA and NOT the second amendment which is a hinderance to gun control law passage.

You're avoiding my point and making none of your own.

You keep bringing up strawman challenges.

The RIGHT guarantees people in the militia ownership of guns.
That DOES NOT mean that others who aren't in the militia CAN'T own guns. It just means that it isn't a GUARANTEED RIGHT for their ownership.

Was this actually supposed to be a point?
Was there supposed to be a "Once upon a time" at the start of this story?

Well gun hater do you mean like get the quote for that gun banning oral sex loving ex president?

If you have not noticed gun hater the leftist are not preaching gun control right now. In fact the leftist are using the tactic of claiming to be gun owners, and claiming to be hunters and other things.

You keep claiming that, but the people who ACTUALLY INTERPRET THE LAW disagree with you.
Moreover, you can't show anybody actually sitting on the bench who agrees with you...
And to make matters worse, you can't even admit that...

Read the WHOLE SENTENCE.
Not just one phrase.
You keep focusing on ONE PHRASE and ignore the fact that it specifically discusses WHICH PEOPLE have the right guaranteed...

Nonsequitur.
My interpretation includes an explanation for BOTH "the people" and "militia".
Your interpretation only focuses on one phrase while ignoring the others.

What is a "CCL"?

You mean the guy who left office because of TERM LIMITS.
It had nothing to do with "gun control"...

But this is what I thought.
Examples which have NOTHING to do with gun control.

ROFLMAO!
There are a variety of claims as to why the 2004 election was won by the Republicans.
This is the VERY FIRST time I've seen anybody try to claim that the democrats lost because of gun control....
There are a variety of polls asking why people voted one way or the other on the last election at this web-site.
You'll note that "gun control" didn't even rate as an issue....

And this coming from the guy who claims that the second amendment has to exist otherwise gun haters would want to make it illegal to own guns???
Do you enjoy contradicting yourself?

Actually, I DID address your question.
Weren't you putting forth the stupid "only criminals will own guns" line of attempted argument?

It is you who didn't address my simple point, because you cannot answer it.
Your response has NOTHING to do with the fact that it is the NRA and not the second amendment which prevents gun legislation.
