    If the militias of Revolutionary war times had AR's I wager the rdcoats would have been swimming back to the UK a lot sooner than they did. Gotta love that argument though, using that failed logic the 1st amendment only applies to quill pens and hand cranked printing presses.

    Libs do not think average Americans should be able to resist the government as we did in 1776.

    But in fact the patriots had the same weapons in their homes that the British soldiers carried.

    They were comparably armed and so should we be comparably armed with King Barack and his minions.

    Couldn't care less what the NRA does, Americans should be free to buy whatever they want so long as each party owns what they are trading. That includes armor piercing bullets. That includes assault rifles.

    And it's completely ridiculous to enact these things at the Federal level. It is clearly (like... next level clearly) an internal states matter. It's as if nobody even bothers with the constitution anymore. At least there used to be a weak-sauce justification, now it's the norm for the constitution to mean nothing.

    Why are gun lovers so unwilling to become necessary to the security of our free States?

    And really, making this stuff is not that hard. A lathe, a mill, and a few other hand tools can crank out a few modest weapons quite easily. Really it is fruitless to confiscate them. Besides, making armor piercing rounds isn't even that hard either.

    The gov can ban it, and the citizens will still produce, use, and consume it. Evidence being marijuana, alcohol, and fireworks in some states.

    Where I used to live it was illegal to have mortar based fireworks, and yet, like clockwork, every 4th of july it sounded like a war going on. Cops didn't even bother to enforce it anymore unless actual harm was being done - like say a misfire that landed in somebody's living room and started a fire.

    Why do gun lovers feel any reason to complain?

    It is not wise to give the gun grabbers a single inch lest they steal a mile when we are not looking.

    I merely find their "dooms day" sooth sayings to be disingenuous, without them also clamoring for dooms day Tax rates on the wealthiest.

    I read that scientists are studying astroids on the premise that one of them could someday impact the earth and really mess the place up.

    That does not mean that one has been found yet that definitely will hit us but better safe than sorry I guess.

    That applies to gun owners also.

    does anyone have any comments on the enforcing body of these regulations, the bureau of alcohol tobacco and firearm? a law or regulation is nothing without a capable body to enforce it. i'm going to be a conspiracy theorist for a minute. the nra castrated the atf so gun bans could not work and new sensible gun controls could not be based on those statistics.

    While I agree with you to some extent; I must also believe that we would Tax the wealthiest at dooms day Tax rates, if it meant it would save our planet.

    If you have to give them up be sure to give them all of your rounds first.

    Your question is unproductive.

    Those who support and defend the US Constitution are the ones you describe as gun lovers. We are actually Constitution lovers. What about you? What do you love? Tyranny? Collectivism. Socialism? Marxism? Obamism?

    What a coincidence, only gun lovers without a Cause or a profit motive usually feel that way; instead of being willing to love their republic enough to become entitled to the "character of a well regulated militia".

    Your words are nonsensical. Well regulated meant well trained. It meant that the people could hit what they were aiming at. I can still hit what I am aiming at.

    What about you?

    Wait! You don't actually think you are making a good argument do you?

    Dude, you cannot appeal to ignorance regarding our supreme law of the land; wellness of regulation must be prescribed by our federal Congress for the Militia of the United States.

    You realize out of all the nonsense you spew that has got to be the greatest?
    So its your contention (being a self described federalist) that the 2nd Amendment has absolutely no bearing on citizens protecting them selves from tyrannical government?

    And save the last one for yourself?

    - - - Updated - - -

    More likely well disciplined and well-organised. Competence with a firearm would have been a given for a male settler back then.

    Here is what one State Constitution has to say on the matter:

    How about the unorganized militia in 10 USC 311?

    Our Second Amendment clearly enumerates not just any militia, but a well regulated militia as being necessary to the security of a free State.

    I thought you were a federalist. Why use a state constitution? You did'nt answer my question. And I hope you know why you did'nt answer. Rock and a hard place.

    Federalism involves a respect for States' rights.

    From what I understand not much respect for States. Still did'nt answer my original question. You can pack it in for today. You played that hand rather poorly.

    We have a Tenth Amendment.
