If that's what you think, when should I expect you to try and take the ones you don't think I should have. If you're man enough to say I shouldn't own something, when are you going to be man enough to try and take it?
If I wanted to buy a house in your neighborhood, there isn't a damn thing you could do about it. Don't worry. I wouldn't live in a shithole neighborhood you live in.
Talk about backing down. I guess when nerves are touched and proof is provided of a claim, the pussy that is you backs down. Get a life, boy. You might make it to 2nd class some day.
well since you want to play games and wallow in arrogant ignorance let me correct you.
"well regulated" in the 18th century meant "in good working order". that in order for the government to pull from the citizens a militia in good working order, the right of the people to keep, and bear arms was absolute. this way they could call forth a citizen militia who was trained and well versed in thier arms.
"well regulated" has nothing to do with laws or regulations.
Many left wing kooks get this wrong.
Just like all amendments you right wing Gun Bubbas think you can decide what they mean, you can't only the court can and there is no decision by the court that says a well regulated millitia is defined with you arrogant private idea what it means. The last court desision that says whether guns can be regulated or not goes back to U.S. Supreme Court (1939): In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a “shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length” at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment or that its use could contribute to the common defense.
Which says it can regulate what weapons you can have. That can't be argued.
Sorry your make believe world only exists in your mind. I've been a supporter of the second amendment all my life but if its between the way you gun bubbas and NRA want the second to mean or dumping the second , I vote to dump the second amendment. You gun Bubbas are by far the biggest threat that the 2nd has , with your ignorant stubborn adherence to not allowing any regulations.

They use a lot of big words so you may not understand it.
"The following are taken from the Oxford English Dictionary, and bracket in time the writing of the 2nd amendment:
1709: “If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations.”
1714: “The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world.”
1812: “The equation of time … is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial.”
1848: “A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor.”
1862: “It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding.”
1894: “The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city.”
The phrase “well-regulated” was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people’s arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it."
well regulated meant "in good working order".
Does this mean something to you, I made it clear from the beginning that the only way the constitution gets defined is by the court , They have already written regulations on guns and the court has supported it , That means you don't get to define any part of the constitution with your make believe idea what it means , you can't but the court does, Mr Bubba.
My gun club is "well regulated." We have rules and they are strictly enforced. There are thousands across this country just like mine.

fully immersed in faith..
it should certainly mean something to the court......you can't pretend something written in the 1700s had a meaning we only know in the present.....
So if the court decides tomorrow that everyone should be handed an ar15 you would be writing in support of this? the court is infallable? I accept your concession that you were ignorant on what well regulated means.

Who are "the people"?
Ya that really works, make your own rules that will solve everything.
Yup I always go with what the court decides , I might not like it but in our system they decide and I except that, but I don't make up my own interpretation of the constitution like the gun Bubbas do , in fact like all hate party members do.
What does this even mean in response to you blathering.
Obviously, it's impossible to inject reason in your simple and empty mind.
I've never met a gun Bubba that would ever be described as a voice of reason. They makeup their own interpretation on what the constitution means. and their definition is always something that gives it away as a solution that a child would come up with, make it anyway that works the best for them. The funny part, each one of these clowns makes a different interpretation then their gun Bubba friends. Whatever fits for them.
So, you're a Constitutional scholar?
Please, by all means, interpret it for us...we're waiting.
