    This is why I love you guys. No grasp of unintended consequences. None of the bill of rights has ever been repealed. Some of them are responsible for major expansions of liberty. If your fantasies come true and the 2nd is repealed . . . much the same as a constitutional convention. The forces of the cray-cray are unleashed. You know the far right would love to remove the 1st and that pesky separation of church and state (freedom of religion). So that christofascism can run rampant. As soon as the loonies have an example of a right being repealed . . . it’s open season on all the other ones.
    Look at Prohibition. Alcohol becomes illegal and the immediate result was the spawning of massive criminal enterprises and years of gang violence. What the hell do you think would happen if you made firearms illegal?

    Nowhere in 2A does it mention that anyone can regulate guns. Educate yourself.

    Aboslutely right, lanzman. And since the left can point to no country that has banned guns or "assault rifles" they can't prove that banning guns would stop any shooting.

    Different populations. Different cultures. Different prison/industrial complex. You might have an easier time listing the similarities.

    Of course the practice would only be applied in ways they agree with.

    Is that like a dollar store assclown, or a marked-as-clearance assclown?

    No, that was rhetorical. Your response was typically prescriptive. Given the context change is in order. Just as it was on airplanes.

    Again the idea of repealing the 2nd is not only idiotic but also unnecessary.

    It isn’t the second itself that is at issue but the way that since Heller it has been interpreted. For two centuries it was understood that the right to bare arms was tied to militia service, not every individual.

    The idea that 2nd guarantees pretty much every individual regardless of militia service access to all the weapons a militia member would need is only fifteen years old.

    We can go back. Well. Eventually. Gonna take a while with this current court that has a majority of members appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote.

    It’s not just about interpretation of the amendment. It’s about enforcing gun control laws and stop allowing any fucking idiot to own rifles designed for military use.

    I would guess that they have better mental health care arrangements to keep such nuts locked up and get help than we do, but of course that would mean *gas* national health care and you would never see the value in that. :chris:

    I know that’s your view, but you know perfectly well that most of the Left wants it repealed. Look at the thread title.

    No, I want it in place when I beam all the guns into the sun, so it can be a super-crime.
    Can't be a super villain if what I do is legal.

    Just because the manufacturer didn’t label the as “military grade” doesn’t mean they are not.

    How do you see so clearly into @Uncle Albert 's mind? Except UA is a ginger so he is an inferior white person in his own mind due to his own beliefs. It is hard to understand the twist and turns of the libertarian gun hive mind.

    Your gun protects the other rights of the people like it protects everything. It fucking doesn't. we can regulate your guns without destroying everything else. It has been done before. These things existed before guns and were just fine. You are a fucking guntard. You are a fucking moron and no one should have to die for your craven cowardice.

    Will you pay for the therapy that might keep them from going off the rails and requiring warehousing? :chris:

    That has the stink of compassion on it, and that smell pisses him off.
    Even though its lovely, and smells like bubblegum and pumpkin spice.
    Burnt metal, he likes that.
    ...*thinks*...yeah that's it.
