The C word has now been said

When they wrote the second amendment, we didn't have the assault-style rifles and high capacity magazines that we now have today....

And I would hardly compare our current president to Hitler.

Because of idiot laws being proposed by idiot politicians like
Those in Missouri.

Democrats in the state House have proposed a bill that would force gun owners to either surrender or destroy weapons including semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines and semi-automatic pistols with a fixed magazine that can shoot more than 10 rounds before being reloaded.

Yea, I know you think Fox News is biased. And the MSM
Like CNN are your favorites .

You should actually read the NDAA that Obama signed last yr.
(National Defense Authorization Act) and how the government
Plans to use the U.S. Military to enforce Unconstitutal laws that
Were issued using Executive Orders.

No we didn't have those guns and magazines then
,
But what we did have was the Same Exact types of firearms and
Ammunition.

And you stated almost the exact statement in a prior post.

In a Google hangout last evening, President Barack Obama explained that his problem is that he's "not the emperor of the United States":

Also on Fox Nation.

I really don't have any favorite News sources, but Fox has a bad track record/reputation of misquotes and false staements. I don't watch MSN at all. I do like Anderson Cooper though, but not for political news.

Your "it aint going to happen" is almost entirely based upon the military and armed forces deserting - you have no way of knowing that, what is an evil government to you might be a righteous and democratic government to someone else -or are you claiming that 75% of government empolyed people fee lthe same about all issues?

Yes 200 million may be trigger happy, but the armed forces against a diverse and non trained domestic forces I think the outcome would be far from what you imagine, and it would be basically undemocractic and against individuals freedoms - the whole point of having an elected government is to represent the people so armed elements do not become a dictatorship by simple force. The civilised way forward for a society is being able to vote, not shoot.

Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose....

What you see as infringing others see as reasonable interpretation of the Constitution.

Dream on...

Neither would I - or anyone else I know.

Absolutely irrelevant...

Thank you for restating what I already said in my post you quoted..." We permit the government to exercise prudent gun control for the good of society..."

Ok time for a history lesson here. When this nation was formed and the constitution written there was a small standing army. Comparatively speaking. There was an fear of a large standing army. This federal army was armed with smoothbore flintlock muskets. Mostly charlleville from France. The same muskets used to beat the British. These flintlocks were the " assault weapons" of the day. They had an effective range of 50-75 yards maybe 100 if extremely lucky. The average citizen depending on the area of the nation was armed with a flintlock rifle. The effective range was250 yards +. Which means at the time of the onset the average American citizen was better armed than his federal troop counter part. So I find that part of the discussion that I've heard over and over in other discussions as well to be flawed to say the least.
Also to go along with this train of thought would mean we all would still be hunting and defending our selves with flintlocks. No cowboy would have ever had his six gun. No homesteader would have ever had his winchester lever gun. No deer hunter would have ever had his bolt action remington. When they all came out they were at the top of their " military" design.

Secondly. The defenition of an assault rifle. An assault rifle is a selective fire( selective between automatic, semi auto , and burst fire) rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and detachable magazine. Ok there it is. So what everyone that is referring as these black scary gun as assault rifles are wrong. They are NOT. THEY ARE LOOK ALIKES! That is it. The media uses the term incorrectly for the wow factor. Nothing more.

I do not compare our current president to hitler. I base my opinion of our government based on the thousands of years of history before our government. Governments all through history that became open for corruption and rife with agenda driven beaurocrats to the point of to the point they have forgotten who they are there for.
