A workplace massacre in 1776

The amendment says "The People".

So you are now arguing that the mentally ill aren't people. You liberals will do and say ANYTHING if you believe it will let you steal more freedom from someone.

What "massacre" happened in 1776?

The Boston Massacre happened on March 5, 1770, the Constitution was ratified on June 21, 1788.

Explain.

 

Wll gee,they were smart enough torisk their lives starting a new country,writing it's laws that have lasted us over 200 years,and the weren't smart enough to envision technological advancement?

Get real

 

What we have here is a nice trite bucket of fail that once again assumes that if we take the "big and scary looking" guns away from the responsible citizens then somehow it will solve all of our violence problems. Completely ignoring the fact that.... I can't believe I keep having to say this, but apparently some people still don't get it........ CRIMINALS DON'T FOLLOW LAWS. Let's look at this logically for a second. In this video, a man walks into his work place and shoots at a co-worker. Would you like to show me where this act is legal? Oh, what's that? It's not? Are you sure? But if it's not legal, then why is he doing it? Because surely if possessing a semiautomatic were illegal, he'd follow that law. Right? I mean, gun control laws clearly keep guns out of the hands of criminals since neither of the Tsarnaev brothers were legally qualified to purchase a gun and they obviously weren't able to get ahold of any guns which was why they shot one cop dead and ended up in two other separate shootouts with police........ hmm....... wait a minute.

You guys have to get over this ridiculous dumbass emotional gunphobia and start looking at these situations logically. If someone wants to shoot somebody, they're probably not concerned with breaking laws. Since shooting people is kind of, you know, illegal. So who do you think you're actually punishing with gun restrictions? That's right, the people that actually follow the law.

 

The 2nd Amendment. Duh!

Where in the 2nd Amendment does it say how many bullets, powder, and guns a citizen can have?

You do realize that when the 2nd Amendment was penned, citizens could own the same weapons as the current standing army?

 

No.

And they didn't qualify the vice versa either.

 

I love when people who aren't smart enough to manipulate the 2nd amendment or the intentions of the founders of our country, try manipulating the 2nd amendment or the intentions of our country's founders. The results are alway hilarious.

 

Our forefathers were quite aware of technical advances then as are today. That is why we used sharpshooters using Pennsylvania or Kentucky RIFLES to bring down their leaders. Just because we now have fully automatic weapons today, haven't they be restricted to the public? I believe that was done in 1994. The advances in semi-automatic weapons have not really changed since the beginning of the 20th Century. The Ergonomics have improved making the handling of semi-automatic weapons easier. A point of fact. Why did Diane Feinstein designate the M1A Carbine, or the AK-47 semi-automatic only as assault weapons? Certainly not for their calibers, it's just the way the LOOK.

 

The American Revolution.

 

He must know what the militia is.

You should should try to find out what it means, if you're going to post on the topic.

As many as it takes!!!!

James Madison: “Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms.” (Federalist Paper #46)

Thomas Jefferson: “No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” (T. Jefferson papers, 334, C.J. Boyd, Ed. 1950)

John Adams: “Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion in private self defense.” (A defense of the Constitution of the US)

Benjamin Franklin: Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” (Nov 11 1755, from the Pennsylvania Assembly’s reply to the Governor of Pennsylvania.)

George Mason: “To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them.” (3 Elliot, Debates at 380)

Patrick Henry: “Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.”

Thomas Paine: “…arms…discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. …Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived the use of them.”
