Times change, get used to it. I mean, just 50 years ago segregation was legal and now look at how diversity has flourished in our nation. The same will be true of guns.
There was a time in our nation when civilians needed to have access to guns, but our society has changed and we are no longer the Wild West. Our laws need to catch up.
>Stop deflecting from the REAL issues and get out of my thread! overthrowing TRDRUMPFTBRAAAAPFPT is the biggest issue
The second amendment was written SPECIFICALLY so the people could have the ability to overthrow the government if it ever stopped working for the people. Why do you want to keep him in office?
Colton Robinson
They didn't specify muskets, idiot. If they had had ARs back then they would have used the fuck out of them
Mason Sanchez
Each one of those assholes broke a shit load of existing gun laws.
Guess what, a psycho wants guns he will find a way.
Why does someone need a AR? Why does anyone need a car that goes over 70. Why does someone need a burger over 500 calories? Or alcohol. Or TV, music, or even this site.
We can go all day on the what you actually need. I prefer to have freedom of choice over bunch scared pussies freaking out over statistical anomalies. You have greater chance dying on your way from your faggot boyfriends house then a mass shooting
Jackson Powell
We are citizens, not civilians. We are not living under some military dictatorship, so fuck off.
Jack Brown
So is what yer saying is you do not understand the comma and how it's used. Also who the fag said anything about a musket. When the current form of the 2nd was written there were patents for 22 round repeating rifles you fucking faggot. Stop conflating criminals and the 2nd. It's fucking retarded you fucking retard.

i seem to remember signing up for selective service. i'm pretty sure that makes me a de facto part of a literal militia.

Looks like the BIGOT trying to make us give up our guns to BIGOT RACIST ANTISURMETIC DRAAMFPT has gone away and lost :(
i feel like your sign would have been better if it said i

A well functioning (regulated) militia would have easily taken out those punks. IT is the government which leftists love so much which allowed those people to roam freely about, and the government which prevents us from killing its precious psychopaths. If the government would just return to its constitutionally permitted duties, disarm itself, and allow the militias to clean up our social problems....within a few days, we would have no social problems. Government creates these monsters, unleashes them upon us, and then demands that we give up our guns. This IS the government the founding fathers created the second amendment to protect us against.
Jack Peterson
>not believing it's better to defund the military and focus on militias armed with military grade weaponry
Get the times bro, stop american imperialism in it's tracks. No longer should the united states rely on outdated military ideas. Just have a defense force in the form militias.
Xavier Ross
2A doesn't say "muskets" it says "arms" which is all the shit you go to war with. It includes, but is not limited to firearms, explosives, edged weaponry, polearms, bows, and defensive armor. For a man to be "armed" in those days, he was carrying/bearing/wearing his fighting equipment, whatever that may have been.
Thomas Myers
the Supreme Court has already ruled on this, the second amendment protects individual rights, no militia requirement. This has already been addressed by the law of the land. end of argument. loc.gov/law/help/second-amendment.php

Yeah? I mean why am I so worried about government tyranny, Let's take a moment to celebrate some of the great gun grabbers of history:
Chairmen Mao: killed 50+ million Chinese, open fired at students protesting against government tyranny
Stalin: Responsible for around 25 million Russians
The Supreme Leader of North Korea: 10% of the population dead in a single decade
There was also this one weird guy that only banned guns for certain people...oh right! his name was Hitler and he killed 5.5 million Jews and 6 million Slavs.
But that could never happen in the USA! Expect for that time Roosevelt rounded up 100,000 Japanese American and put them in camps. Bet they wish they held guns, you see most of them saw guns as a tool only for warriors because they held on to their culture strongly, most of them lived in California too so it was not that hard to get 'em all rounded up.
And it's not like German police shot bullets in the air last week to stop protestors acting democratically against a government arresting an elected president. No, no, all your rights are safe and the police will protect you (except for the fact they are legally ok in letting you get killed because they are only there to solve crimes according to the feds)
also, if you say a basic civilian ar 15 or ak 47 is an "assault rifle" , you have not done the required research on the subject to have an opinion that is respectable in the marketplace of ideas and should shut the fuck up. Assault rifles are select fire and those are already regulated to the point they are practically illegal for most civilians.
Isaiah Turner
>a militia is an organized group >a militia can be formed at anytime >an armed militia more effective than an unarmed one
As I understand the 2nd amendment, it's about ensuring that an effective militia can be formed when needed. Arguably any protest group such as BLM, Antifa etc is a militia (just not very effective ones) and, I may need a correction on this, but wasn't a lot of US gun legislation a reaction to the Black Panther movement?
So advocating the repeal of the 2nd amendment is advocating for your government to also take away your right to stand up to them in any effective way.
This even before you get to your right to defend yourself and property.
Kevin Cox
Your the one trying to convince people to give up their guns to literally hitler!!! It's like you want another holocaust??!
Joseph Mitchell
>I mean, just 50 years ago segregation was legal and now look at how diversity has flourished in our nation 3/10
the supreme court of the united states addressed this once and for all in 2008. Anyone that brings up the militia argument is retarded. loc.gov/law/help/second-amendment.php
Nolan Baker
OP is retarded for arguing on the basis that "this is not a well regulated militia". I think I make a fair comparison on the basis that there's a lot of morons going around calling an elected leader a tyrant at the same time as calling for everyone to hand in their guns. I don't think a placard with some piss-poor meme on it is going to be an effective weapon against this so-called tyrant who is allegedly oppressing you.
What is retarded is calling for that same "tyrant" to disarm you.
Jayden Davis
Liberals are either chaotic evil or retarded
Jacob Turner
Can you spell evil outliers? This does not, I repeat, does NOT represent America in any significant number.
There will always be robbers, crooks and thieves. Just don't twist things to make this appear as acceptable to the greater population, idiot.
Jace Williams
Certainly retarded. I notice that they don't seem to use Europe for comparison as much any more, I wonder why...
if you're so scared of big meanie-heads with guns why dont you get a gun yourself you autistic burger

Part 1: Terminology An assault rifle is a rifle chambered in an intermediate cartridge (.223, 5.45x39, 6.5 Creedmoor, etc.) that can select between semi-automatic and fully-automatic fire. The AR-15 (AR stands for Armalite, the company that makes it) is a civilian version of the M16 platform which can be capable of fully-automatic fire. The AR-15 is only semi-automatic therefore it is just a rifle.
Part 2: Second Amendment As pertaining to the second amendment itself, let us first examine the text. "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”. To immediately get this out of the way, the “well-regulated” part does not mean more regulations, this is because the meaning of the term “well-regulated” back in the 1700’s meant “well running” or “in good working condition” you can look up some literature from the time which uses the phrase in this meaning to prove this. The point of the second amendment is to keep the American citizen at even odds with the government in terms of firepower, to prevent the government from overstepping its boundaries; the government, however, has overstepped its boundaries to weaken this right and thus remove the things keeping them from ruling over the American people with totality.
Part 3: Reality 10% of deaths in America are murders, out of that 10% only 0.2% are from mass shootings and out of all gun deaths, more than 50% are from suicide. Furthermore “fully-automatic” guns are indeed already banned! And getting ownership of one requires not only a lengthy list of paperwork, but also the proper license!
Copy this down, add even more statistics to it, and post this in response to every gun-related thread no matter the initial post. Only you can end faggotry on this site.
