Ok. Can you provide me with statistics so that I may understand better?
And you are condescending and arrogant.
Dude lol go home. You've had way too many lol. I said
and again you are being obtuse....what does that have anything to do with mass shootings?...you just want to argue....trying to prove some point...but you don't have one
Neither do you. I never said we needed assault weapons lol I said shootings are mostly caused by handguns. Dude it's not that difficult. 1. I asked you to provide a universal definition of an assault weapon and 2. I asked you how will criminals that don't follow the laws be obligated to follow newer laws? How will you stop them from getting guns?
and yet again you pay no attention to what is going on around you......the last several have all recited parts of a trump speech
Not the ones you mentioned
I wasn't going to list them all....I thought the most recent ones would still be on peoples memory...if they had one
well pretty sure if you look at any thread it gets.....off topic? on occasion....shouldn't but does......I used to hate that...but anymore I am as guilty as the next....
yes....he let his emotions flat take him out of any contention.....and may have put a bad mark on all the dems
thanks....can you point out the spot where it says people have the right to carry assault rifles and ******* innocent people.... I seem to have missed it....it must be in there the right seems so sure it is
It's there to fight a tyrannical government
The Second Amendment: 13 + 14 = 27
11/28/2007 05:20 pm ET Updated May 25, 2011
Contrary to gun lobby dogma, there are actually 27 words in the Second Amendment.
The Amendment reads, in full:
The Constitution says they do exist, and so we must read the whole Second Amendment. We must give effect to all of its words - not just the ones we like - to understand what the Amendment means.
In the case [pdf] now on appeal to the US Supreme Court, however, two judges on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals virtually “erased” the 13 words of the “Militia purpose” clause altogether, and made them practically meaningless. This is just one more reason why the Appeals Court decision was clearly erroneous and should be reversed.
You can read why in the second installment of the Brady Center Legal Action Project’s thorough critique of the lower-court opinion titled, Decision By Eraser: How the Parker Court Obliterated Half of the Second Amendment.
What follows in an excerpt, with a link to the full text at the end:
The Parker ruling defied that 200-year-old instruction....
The Parker court approached [the Second Amendment] text by “slicing and dicing it.” Instead of looking at the Amendment as a whole to ascertain a meaning that accounts for all of its words in context, the court repeatedly divided the language into subparts and divined a meaning for each subpart taken in isolation. ... Only through this artificial methodology could the Parker court avoid the obvious meaning that ties each part of the Amendment together into a unified whole: that the people have the right to keep and bear arms as part of a well regulated militia.

Contrary to gun lobby dogma, there are actually 27 words in the Second Amendment.
The Amendment reads, in full:
There is the “Militia purpose” clause, with 13 words. Then there is the “keep and bear Arms” clause, with 14 words. Two clauses and 27 words. This is an uncomfortable fact to those accustomed to reading only half of the Amendment, reciting the last 14 words over and over again as if the first 13 didn’t exist.

You can say what ya want - pretty sure the left won’t be happy until they have disarmed the population - the left is ALL about the government having ALL the power - and that - is what the framers were worried about - governments with ALL the power inevitably subjugate their population.
“Absolute power corrupts absolutely”
Not sure who said that but he was a smart sumbitch!!!!!

Only through this artificial methodology could the Parker court avoid the obvious meaning that ties each part of the Amendment together into a unified whole: that the people have the right to keep and bear arms as part of a well regulated militia. In the time of our forefathers, after the revolutionary war of course a organized militia was needed, but this militia mentioned in the first part of the second Amendment, A A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State , being necessary to the security of a free State was depending on guns in the homes to protect our freedoms from anyone trying to destroy our young country. The last part is more self inclusive to include the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. If this whole amendment was referring to a well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, What about hunting for food, protecting their homes and family, what about protection against Indians? If, the people of the United States are left unarmed, what would stop our government as it could become totally corrupt, from having complete control of us people?
