“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”
commas separate individual clauses. It is amazing how you second amendment haters always ignore the second part of the amendment, the right of the PEOPLE, you don’t need to have one in order to have e the other.
"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined..."
- George Washington, First Annual Address, to both House of Congress, January 8, 1790
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776
"...that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824
"Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation..."
- James Madison, Federalist No. 46, January 29, 1788
"The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."
- Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788
"I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers."
- George Mason, Address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 4, 1788

That’s irrelevant. The comma separates two thoughts. The second is the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed
This is the new libtard battle cry. Private citizens did own cannons during the period of our founders.
As long as it’s not an infringement on the rights of the people to KEEP and BEAR arms
According to some the National Guard is the "well regulated militia".

South Carolina, Texas, Florida, and some others have State Guards that are separate from the National Guard. The National Guard can be federalized. The National Gutard is either part of the US Army or US Air Force.
Give it up . Guns are going nowhere. If some moron gun grabber ever tried it it would be the end of things as we know it. Rightnow it is one of the last things between us and tyranny. The press has been destroyed and DC is corrupt.
You love Xi Jinping, Xi Jinping has gun control, you want tyranny, Xi Jinping is a tyrant, circle complete...
I own guns...I have no issue. But this isn't about "taking our guns" - it's about limiting a class of weapons similar to when automatic weapons became prohibited.
Denounce Xi Jinping and his communist regime then. And the slavery and human rights abuses that still exist in China. And the corporate and industrial espionage that costs US companies, and workers, billions of dollars each year. And the theft of intellectual property and trademark infringement that also costs Americans billions of dollars each year.
I won't even ask for a denouncement of China's reckless and irresponsible virology research. Just denounce the aspects of China mentioned in the former paragraph.
That’s fine but unless you give a very specific definition then you will end up banning other weapons. So please enlighten us on your definition of the types of weapons that should be banned
Is that a pic from Australia? Not relevant. I believe they took all semi-automatic guns including shotguns. Not aware of anyone proposing that....except the usual conspiracy theorists.No it's not...
You can't be this naive...
Yep.. not relevant...
These quotes from our Founding Father's must not be either...
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops."
- Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of."
- James Madison, Federalist No. 46, January 29, 1788
I like those timeless guys having my back rather than someone as reactionary and short-sighted as you. Those guys could see the future, you can't seem to see the last century's governmental and military abuses caused by gun control...
Again, no one outside of conspiracy theorists are proposing "disarming".
Not sure how an assault rifle would stand up to armed drones, air power and mechanized weaponry - none of which existed when the constitution was written.
BTW, the US Constitution also has no explicit provision for either an Air Force or a Space Force. Both were created by an act of Congress....just like the National Guard.
You believe???
You do realize, like the frog in the boiling pot of water, that Australia has incrementalized and expanded its gun bans (wow, who could have ever seen that coming???) to include pistols and centerfire rifles with a magazine capacity over 5 rounds...
This is an assault weapon in Australia...
And what is in the media today???
What can Australia's reaction to a mass shooting teach us about guns and gun control?
In 1996, after 35 people were killed in a mass shooting, the Australian government enacted strict gun control laws, including a ban on semi-automatic weapons and a gun buyback program. In the past 26 years, there has been one mass shooting in the country.

But yeah, you're right. None of this is relevant...
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona for sale. You interested?
Recent Democratic presidential candidate and current gubernatorial candidate.
O'Rourke Promises To 'Take Your AR-15,' But Americans Are Split On Buybacks
The former Texas congressman promised a mandatory buyback program for assault-style weapons. Public support for such a program is divided.

Kamala Harris' campaign trail gun rhetoric meets Biden's reality | CNN Politics
Presidential candidate Kamala Harris campaigned aggressively on gun control reform -- making the case that if Congress couldn't act to make changes, the president could.
"As a California prosecutor, she supported strengthening the state's existing assault weapons ban and as attorney general, Harris often conducted high-profile and televised gun sweeps."
They can go to hell and I mean it. I am not giving it up. Any Republican that supports a ban can go with them. They will literally have to come and get it and it is not for sale.
Seem to work pretty well in Iraq, Afghanistan and the rest of the Middle East...
But against armored personnel carriers in Texas, not so much...
Remember who Biden nominated to head the ATF???
Not sure how an assault rifle would stand up to armed drones, air power and mechanized weaponry - none of which existed when the constitution was written.

Every hear of Vietnam, Afghanistan(Russians and USA), and hell your beloved fight in Ukraine?

Biden just said no one should have a 9mm. What assault rifle uses a 9mm round?
What about an intratec tec dc9. And what do you do with millions already out there? Do you confiscate them? Do you buy them back? If so there will be a lot of boating accidents
More from Australia... Why stop at 9mm when the .22lr is so deadly???
"Harmless" .22 calibre rabbit rifles kill more people than any other type of gun
Contrary to their popular image as low-powered 'bunny guns', .22-calibre rifles are commonly used in multiple shootings.
We have a govt that just tried to set up a Ministry of Truth. Think about that.
The scary thing is there are a lot of dumbed down individuals that would absolutely believe everything the Ministry of Truth would tell them...☹️
