In response to:
Doug lives in his own little straw-man universe: "progressives hate hunting and would love nothing more than to bring that activity to a grinding halt"
I grew up hunting, retain a substantial number of firearms, spend time on the range and go bird hunting every year. So, grow up, Doug and quit LYING about things you know nothing of!
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.
"A well regulated militia being necessary" - now explain to me Dougie, exactly what does this PROVISION of the 2nd Amendment mean? Tell me, Doug, are you in a "well regulated militia"?
Yea, right.
You're a JOKE, Doug. And NOBODY takes you seriously.
My buddy, Green Beret badass Bryan Sikes, shot a massive whitetail buck last week during our South Texas Purple Heart Adventure. He whacked said muy grande with a LaRue Tactical OBR chambered for the glorious .308 Win. round. Oh and BTW, Sikes used a high capacity magazine during this hunt.
For those of you who aren’t hip to the LaRue, it is a weapon that progressive darlings say we should not have because we don’t “need” such a weapon for hunting.
Hunting, according to these wizards of odd, is what they think our founding fathers had in mind when...
BTW do you know any conservatives who are anti-hunting? Neither do I. But every anti-hunter in the country probably voted for Obama. And all the anti-hunters I read about or know are socialists.
It does NOT restrict the RKBA to militias,nor does it require that a citizen BE in any militia to have the RKBA. "well-regulated" describes a militia,but it does NOT require the RKBA to be "well-regulated".
Did you not take English in school?
BTW,SCOTUS has ruled that the RKBA belongs to individuals,not militias.
It makes NO sense for a government to prohibit itself from infringing on it's right to keep and bear arms. it's makes complete sense that gov't is prohibited from infringing on the citizens RKBA.
the entire Constitution is a limit on GOVERNMENT,not the people.
And you don't Winston?
"Tell me, Doug, are you in a "well regulated militia"?"
If he is or isn't is none of your damn business Winston.
"You're a JOKE, Doug. And NOBODY takes you seriously."
We say the same about you Winston.
Do you Winston?
as in a "well-regulated" clock keeping good time.
A well regulated militia means all able bodied adult citizens of a state, with adequate numbers of weapons to arm for defense against a tyrannical government. Most states have a militia, made up of citizen volunteers, that can be called up during times of crisis to support the National Guard.
A state is a geopolitical term that means the boundary of land containing a nation.... nations, countries, states all mean the same thing
Maybe you should spend more time research matters so that you have a better understanding. Just trolling to sling insults only demonstrates your ignorance and bias.
At the time of the writing of the U.S. Constitution a "Well Regulated Militia" was an armed Citizenry equipped with the latest military weapons that they could afford.
What part of "the Right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" can't you understand?
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is the only Right that is specifically granted to the People and not the government.
I was simply tagging on to your comment so as to not "cut in line" so to speak.
I am a female collector and fully support the citizen's right to own, and use guns as necessary.
Well put!
