Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?
 
Linguistic drift. Regulated means something different these days. Back then it really just meant drilled or practiced. Basically, knew their way around a weapon. I mean, none of the Founder's writings about the 2nd are shy about bringing up what it's about either. Washington especially.
My opinion is that it has always meant one thing- that people are able to raise enough firepower in their own communities to resist a tyrannical government (whether domestic or foreign) from easily rolling over them.

The whole muskets-AR-15 comparison is a red herring, and often a sign that people have confused the trees for the forest. 2nd Amendment = Citizens being able to possess enough force to counter a government oppressing them, irregardless of the technology.

Further note- foreign/domestic has no distinction as if a foreign army is able to invade the US, the domestic army likely has already lost, and the war has switched to a guerrilla war dependent on the citizen’s ability to resist.

It is a mystery to me how people try to rationalize the wording of the 2nd amendment to try and claim that the founders only wanted a regulated military force.

They had literally just won a war against their own tyrannical government using guns that they owned. I’m thinking maybe they meant that private citizens should own guns.
Also the fact that all of the other amendments of the bill of rights are about protecting the rights of the people, except for this particular one for some reason.
:thinking:
 
Wanna know something kinda funny? Repeating rifles had been around since the 1600's.

The Founding Fathers knew all about technology marching on and wanted the citizens to have the same arms and training as the militaries.
Our country's first navy were pirates with multi cannon vessels. That would be the equivalent of letting private citizens operate B-52s for the government. Plus, I'm pretty sure we still had privateers during the War of 1812, so it's not like the practice died out immediately after the War of Independence.
 
So...did this senile dementia-addled cadaver just directly threaten to try and repeal an Ammendment from the Bill of rights? Not even Black Jesus or Hilldawg are insane enough to directly say that shit.

There's no defending that outside of being a complete sycophant or brainwashed.

These fucking morons don't think that the rest of their rights wouldn't be next?


And yes, I know he won't be able to. But he flat out voiced that if he could, he would.

Between this kinda shit, the government-sanctioned mass immigration/welfare, and the media/big tech censorship, this country is fucked.

Shame most of them are sycophants or brainwashed at this point.

You know, we never took away the ability of the government to issue letters of marque and reprisal...

I think I remember Black Jesus talking about Freedom of Speech not being Freedom from Consequences, though I'm not sure if he was ever arrogant enough to be that blatant.
 
Isn't "whatever the current name for Blackwater is" the modern version of privateers?
Yeah, but there's a few extra steps involved and I think they should just cut out the bullshit and direcly authorize Academi (that's their current name) and the rest of their Constellis merc group to go after the African pirates.

Technically, they wouldn't have to. Maritime Law says it's always open season on pirates and there's no bag limit. Just no money in blowing skinnies away.
 
Yeah, but you need prize courts to handle proper custody of the recovered items, and the last time we had any of that was in WW2.
That's true, but it's not like the skinnies have anything of value to take. Now, South East Asian pirates, that might be a different story.

I won't lie, I have pondered winning the lottery and using the money to buy and refit a yacht with a 40mm Bofors gun and go Somali pirate hunting while cruising with a harem of gun bunnies.
 
There's other private security groups that offer protection against African pirates. There's also a perpetually nearby Marine Expeditionary Unit within 12 hours of the horn of Africa that helps relay special forces units to liberate captured civilian ships.
 
You know looking at all the promises Biden made, gun control didn't see like a high priority to him, during election season, of course the only left wing liberal talking point he attempts to fulfill is the least popular one among many left wing people who really asked for things like legalized marijuna, debt absolution, free healthcare, no border wall. And we all know how that turned out.
