Yes, and the libs and Dems fought against that ruling and still have to be sued to abide by it.

Not to mention that the court was split 5-4 Conservative vs. Liberal members. I wonder which side ruled for a pro-individual rights ruling?

Those guns in the hands of people in line one are the problem, we know who they are.
I guess if I could keep all my handguns and have to give up my AR, I'd be ok with it.

I'm an American damnit and can/should be able to own any gun I want.

I lean towards choice number two but there seems to be way more stupid crazy people out there than before getting their hands on these types of guns.

Should we be able to go out and buy a RPG or grenade launcher too?

Where do you draw the line?

AR15's and other box magazine fed, gas operated semiautomatic rifles are not "built to mow people down in battle" and they most certainly do "serve a civilian purpose". Crew-served machine guns "mow people down in battle" when not being used for suppressive fire. The "civilian purpose" for most AR15's would be one of any number of uses - home defense, competitive shooting, casual target shooting, hunting, or being prepared for militia service.

Yes, absolutely we should be able to be as well armed as the government, to keep them honest. Should we be able to own war ships and artillery? You bet. Everything the .gov has at its disposal, we should as well, if we can afford it.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Well regulated did not have the same meaning then as it does now. It meant well equipped.

Shall not be infringed means shall not. Not should not, or maybe not, or can kind of be infringed. It means no way no how. It is plain. Is my reading comprehension that poor?

We can go out a buy an RPG or a grenade launcher right now. Have you heard of the NFA? The line you mention was drawn in 1934, regulating destructive devices (such as explosives), SBR's and SBS's, machine guns, unusual weapons (AOW's), and any firearm with a bore greater than 0.50".

The problem I have is not in drawing the line, it's that liberals aren't happy with the line and want to move it.

You "think" this, but you do not have good evidence to support this.

Audi's are OK, but there's a reason why the car companies compare their products to BMW.

As much as you have to prove otherwise, and that is a FACT. I live in a klibtard paradise and talk to these people every day. I can go to my local gun club and hear it said any day of the week.

My statement is as much fact as yours so why are we arguing about it? What makes you right?

I thought that those had been removed by amendment, but I just googled it. Still there! I also read that Ron Paul wanted to use them to go after terrorists and the pirates in Somalia.

Even if you disagree with Ron Paul, you gotta respect his principles.

Guys I said it was an on going battle in my head that I lean towards the conservative viewpoint. There are just points that I find valid coming from the opposition. Not many but a couple.

And relax with the militia thing. That's a joke. Bunch of fat guys running around in the woods.

We have a militia, it's called the national guard, go join.

I am all for that. I am sure there are plenty of men out there with the means to put a small fighting vessel to sea, and I feel we shouldn't stand in their way.

See, I love Ron Paul! That guy is great!

But he's educated crazy and backs up most of his stuff so he's earned my respect. Some of his extreme libertarian views are a little much but most of it it's good stuff

Now, if I smoked pot, I would. If I was gay and wanted to be married I would. I probably wouldnt be conservative either, if I wanted those things.

I think the majority of people who are 'liberal gun owners' are the type to say they support gun control. I live in IL where there are tons of union guys that vote exactly how their union tells them to, and they all say the same thing. They dont care if ARs are banned or hi-cap mags, as long as their hunting guns arent banned.

'Why care if it doesn't affect you?' It is unfortunate that this is such a common attitude. It is usually acompanied by a fervor to limit other people's liberties, as long as you don't agree/partake of them EVEN if it doesn't affect you.

There are 2 militias. The first, the "unorganized militia", is the militia of the founders, of which most of us are members. The second, the "organized militia", is the National Guard, formed long after the ratification of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Audi and BMW aren't even close to being "essentially the same car". If they were, BMW wouldn't be the benchmark for performance sedans that it is. Audi's are fun, and they're nice, but they're just another competitor trying to keep up with BMW.

Not so fast. I didn't assert anything about what beliefs the liberal gun-rights supporters generally have. I said that you were asserting facts without valid basis. Going by what some of your acquaintances say isn't very good because it is anecdotal, and limited to the people you come in contact with.

That said, you very well may be on the money on what the typical pro-gun lib thinks.

frank4570 · 10-28-2012, 13:20

The point is that you, and me, and our neighbors all need to be able to have an AR or an AK in the closet in case the federal govt tries to take too much power. We are a young nation and we have already had one such civil war. I'm sure there will eventually be another. You need to be able to pull your AR or AK out of the closet.

I just don't agree with you in 2012.

BMW has turned to the 2.0T that VAG introduced years ago. They have xdrive now because quattro beat their ass in the snowy climates and a S5 will run with a M3 all day and prob best it.

You were right in 2000.
