    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Look up Madison’s original wording of the 2nd. It had a conscientious objector clause.

    Yes, it is your error. Up until the Civil War, virtually all gun regulations were aimed at blacks, both free and slave. One of the reasons given in Dred Scott v. Sandford why blacks could not be considered citizens was because it would give them the right "to keep and carry arms wherever they went". That was the standard interpretation of the 2nd until after the Civil War.

    Not a citation of an actual “could have” that has actually occurred.

    One can have self defense without guns. And the 2nd says nothing about personal self defense. Heller does, however. But it says not all guns, not anywhere, not anytime. In other words, INFRINGED.

    Which was just the usual propaganda being pushed by the gun control wackos. That definition had no technical backing. It was purely political in nature. And you do keep trying to equate the modern AR-15 with the original AR-15.

    You just don't have the intellectual honesty to answer the OP. Soon I will dump your NRA troll butt in the IA.
    Pretty much everything you post is ignorant dreck, based on ideological dogma, not reality. As others have stated, the 'popularity' of semi-auto rifles for mass shootings is probably due to your flagrant obsession with them. The more you scream about how deadly they are, the more attractive they become. The OP has absolutely nothing to do with intellectual honesty, of which you have repeatedly demonstrated you have none. It was purely extremist tripe. You appear to be the troll, unable to diacuss the issue honestly, because reality doesn't agree with your dogma.

    And the history of the National Guard has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment. You don't have any "historical, documented fact" to support your position. You just post unrelated stuff that you hope will be accepted by those as brain dead as you appear to be.

    But an informed citizenry is dangerous to kooks like you. They won't blindly accept your dogma as fact. And note that guns don't shoot people. There are millions of guns in this country, and the vast majority are never used to shoot anyone. Pehaps we need to focus on the people who use them to shoot people. You are a dogmatic idiot, with no ability or desire to adress issues honestly.

    Coming from you, that's a compliment, as you keep demonstrating your delusional thinking and intellectual dishonesty. BTW, try and learn the difference between adjectives ("intellectual") and adverbs ("intellectually").

    So you acknowledge the fact that you just want the next best thing to a full "battlefield weapon". WTF for? You target shoot to practice hitting a target as a pretext to KILL. Hunting rifles do a good job, shotguns do, semi-auto handguns and rifles do. You want battlefield authenticity? Join the army. Let's at least try to keep these things off the open market, as they seem to get into the hands of nutjobs as of late.
    Pay attention moron.....the AR15 IS NOT a full battlefield weapon nor next best thing
    ....its no more than any other semi-automatic rifle....its just scary looking like you were told above....
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    I didn't say they were. But the measures you support for guns will work just about as well as Prohibition and the War on Drugs. And, again, there's no point in answering the OP, since there was no point to the OP in the first place. Just the usual brain dead nonsense promoted by a brain dead gun control hack. You do know that the KKK was the first American gun control organization. Good company you keep.
