    Not to mention 38 states!

    What do these have to do with the constitution?

    So you choose to be ignorant in order to maintain belief in a false argument.

    So is continuing to argue that the 2nd only covers people in the militia.

    Here were the first of them to get you started. Just because I had the link open already.

    I don't know, but they will try.

    What makes you think I have something against a well regulate militia?

    Okay, fair enough, that's 23 from 2013 that I didn't know about and I suppose we can also add 4 which were added in 2016: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.go...tive-actions-reduce-gun-violence-and-make-our

    However I must ask, are there really over 72 more? Also, I'm not able to find reports of Trump repealing these orders. If you can show me that he did I will be more than happy to call it out as a disgraceful act.

    Where in that article does it say that Trump has gone back on what he has previously said?
    Instead, that article says things to the contrary, so I'm confused why you directed me to it. Are you sure that its the correct article? Here are some quotes:

    [Trump] said he’d personally eliminate bump stocks.
    “I don’t care if Congress does it or not, I’m writing it out myself, okay?” Trump said.

    And he insisted, for the second time, that he would get the National Rifle Association on board with his various proposals. “Don’t worry about the NRA. They’re on our side,” Trump told the governors during a gathering in the Roosevelt Room on Monday. “You guys, half of you are so afraid of the NRA. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”


    Okay, why do you think that a well regulated militia does not have any benefits?

    I guess that means we gun owners should hope that it is the homes of anti gun types that armed robbers target for rape and pillage?

    I am not particularly worried about rape robbery and pillage. I don't even KNOW anyone that has happened to and I have lived 63 years in the NY Metro area

    And why can't you ban an entire class of firearms?

    What justification is there for people to buy weapons designed for the battlefield in sporting goods stores?

    Hunting, sports, self defense.

    Stores are where they usually sell rifles and of course no military uses an AR-15 or Ruger Ranch rifle on any battlefield, that is simply hype.
