Hey since we are bringing cool stuff back from the dead can we get duels back too?

When I read it I believe he claims to understand that the 2nd amendment only protects firearms in common use for lawful purposes.
How would this not apply to a AR 15, its a very common weapon that almost all gun enthusiast own and and is possessed for lawful purposes. Even in a political correct sense the AR 15 has a place as a sporting weapon for carbine matches that can't really be fulfilled with a bolt action hunting rifle. Canada even opted to label the AR platform as restricted instead of prohibiting it when they went on a gun ban spree in 1995 because of the sporting purpose it served.
It would seem this guy is ignorant of gun culture today and stuck in the past when a gun owner was a fud who went to buy his trusty thirdy thirdy for upcoming deer season. AR's and tactical weapons in general are very much in "common use" and serve plenty of lawful purposes.
yes I have seen that video you are talking about and I am not stating my opinion of why you should or should not have guns, I'm just stating that this guy came out and stated that the 2nd amendments only protects weapons that are in common use for lawful purposes, which AR's clearly fall under, and goes on to form an incorrect opinion that they are not and wants them regulated.
To sum up everything I tried to say I am saying he used his own words and facts against him.
You mean like smear our faces with war paint and scale the sides of Don's Guns in the dead of night then throw them into the White river as a protest?Maybe we can get together and re-enact the Boston tea party in protest to unfair taxation. Only it would be a 'gun party' and I imagine it wouldn't end very well.
We could always try to secede from the Union...
After reading former Justice Stevens's commentary, he knows significantly less than poo.
Well why not!Hey since we are bringing cool stuff back from the dead can we get duels back too?
Justice Stevens (an idiot) said:Stevens also had a recommendation for people who keep a weapon in their homes for self-defense purposes. “Maybe you have some kind of constitutional right to have a cell phone with a pre-dialed 911 in the number at your bedside and that might provide you with a little better protection than a gun which you’re not used to using,” he said to laughter.
Term Limits for everyone!
It is the power of the electorate to enforce these, for those officials that actually are elected.
Look at history and you'll see why the SCOTUS Justices are appointed for life-it's to place their positions above political gain.
As to (statutory) term limits... So good people, such as Mr. Johnson or Dr. Paul should be removed from office to make room for the Pelosis and the Reids and their ilk, just because some arbitrary time period has passed? No thanks. If I want Obama out of office, I'll make some noise about it and vote for who I think has the best chance of taking his place.
Blessings,
Bill
The power of the Johnsons and Pauls in Congress does not come from longevity. It comes from having good ideas. The power of the Reids and Peolsis in Congress does not come from their good ideas. It comes from their longevity. By instituting a 12 year term limit for legislators, it would not be cutting the legs out from under the Right, which can find their successors and groom them to take over their position of public trust in the public eye with the public's interests at heart. Term limits will be cutting the legs out from under the Left, which only thrives off a persistent, uninterrupted power base.
