Also, you can carry a MAC 11 into a pizza parlor and tear the place up before anybody has a chance to blink, but it won't work so well if you have a rather conspicuous AK-47 on your shoulder. Ban, say, concealable weapons that hold more than 6 rounds without reloading. Or at least that's the way I would do it. Rarrgh! |

Highlander_ User ID: 254820 United States 11/22/2007 11:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case in which the ruling is likely to settle the meaning of the 2nd Ammendment -- whether the right to bear arms applies to each citizen individually, or collectively as members of a "well-regulated militia". Quoting: Anonymous Coward 280218In case the Supreme Court rules that only militia members may keep and bear arms, is it time to reform militias? A militia members rights to keep and bear arms should be maintained no matter how the Supreme Court rules. Perhaps only states national guard units will qualify? That can be fought in court another day. If they where to do that, I would predict that there would be alot more Militia's formed in this country... Memor Miles Militis Templar, pro quos nos pugna!

In Alaska the state made this the definition: Alaska Statute 26.05.010. Alaska Militia Established (a) The militia of the state consists of all able-bodied citizens of the United States and all other able-bodied persons who have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States, who reside in the state, who are at least 17 years of age, and who are eligible for military service under the laws of the United States or this state. (b) The militia is divided into two classes: (1) the organized militia, consisting of the Alaska National Guard, the Alaska Naval Militia, and the Alaska State Militia, and (2) the unorganized militia, consisting of all qualified persons available for service but not serving in the organized militia. (c) The adjutant general may, by regulation, prescribe the maximum age for eligibility in the militia. As you can see #2 clearly makes pretty much every one over 17 part of the "unorganized militia". So some states have already taken care of this within their own legislature. Since as a citizen in Alaska I am part of the unorganized militia at this time and I will need a firearm just in case...in case of what you may ask...read the constitution it says why I get to keep a gun! |

I respect your opinion, but I made my statements according to extraneous logic. Modern guerrilla wars are not fought with submachineguns and assault rifles. If you watched the news carefully attempts to stand up to our forces in Iraq in a direct firefight resulted in some fairly hefty casualties among the insurgents. Infantry can't stand up to tanks and aircraft without tanks and aircraft of its own. Every single time the insurgents have tried this, they have lost. So did the Polish when they tried to fight Hitler's tanks with courage and cavalry. Modern guerrilla wars are fought most effectively with plastique and C4 in shaped charges and maybe a sniper rifle This is how we would beat the government. Its also how the Timothy McVeighs and the DC snipers of the world go about organized and well thought out attempts to kill large numbers of people, and by making it legal to just have a couple of bricks of C4 in your closet it will make things that much easier for fringe nutjobs to get it together enough to hurt large numbers of people. Pick your poison. I pick only small modifications to existing gun laws, and The Anarchist's Cookbook's recipes for homemade explosives. Call me a coward...but the people and the government have me approximately equally scared so we stay close to the status quo. Rarrgh! |

Ganid User ID: 204982 Canada 11/22/2007 12:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It appears that Jefferson likely plagiarized the Declaration of Independence from George Mason's "Virginia Declaration Of Rights", which he published one month before July 4th, 1776. Quote from Wikipedia: The Virginia Declaration of Rights is a document proclaiming that individual natural rights are inherent, and calling for American independence from Britain. It was adopted unanimously by the Virginia Convention of Delegates on June 12, 1776 Quote regarding the Declaration of Independence from: [link to www.archives.gov] Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is at once the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument. Unquote From the Virginia Declaration of Rights: [link to www.yale.edu] Quote: XIII That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that, in all cases, the military should be under strict subordination to, and be governed by, the civil power. Unquote You also may take notice of Article 1 of the Virginia Declaration Of Rights, and notice that it does include the "unalienable right of property". Without the "property right", an individual human cannot sustain and maintain the unalienable right of "life", if the owner of all property is a despotic corporation called a State or Crown. [And, such now is the case]. Just more proof that the "so-called Founding Fathers" were traitors to the American people. George Mason refused to participate in the treason. |

kits User ID: 325912 United States 11/22/2007 03:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If the second Amendment is indeed overthrown, I suspect there will be several million American citizens who will be quite unwilling to surrender their arms. Sadly, I also suspect the vast majority of those several million gun-owners will quickly 'come around,' as in, they'll lose their resolve and in a bout of cowardice, will comply. I'm not certain what exactly the end-result will be though. Sure, most citizens are fearful conformists who will obey their oppressors, even when the order is so blatantly in opposition to the Constitution itself. The thing is though, people who own firearms, believe they should be allowed to possess them, and desire their posession. If that wasn't the case, they wouldn't have bought them and kept them. What's more, they often strongly wish to own the weapons, if not, they wouldn't have shelled hundreds and in some cases, thousands of dollars for the weapons, ammunition and accessories. As such, I feel we should at least see quite a few Waco-like incidents occurring for a significant duration of time. Just as in New Orleans, there's going to be a myriad of individuals who would rather fight than surrender their constitutionally allowed protective devices. All government agencies would have their hands entirely too full dealing with the situation, as there'll be a potential fire-fight around each corner. If the situation progresses, the US could find itself in something of a state of civil war even, starting with the gun owners defending themselves from the government, and as a result of being 'wanted' for not surrendering those weapons which the government knows they have, and thusly not being able to go to work for fear of being detained, gun owners will be forced to conduct robberies just to acquire the supplies they need to live, such as food. There could be 'pockets of insurgents,' and many 'terrorists' being rounded up. There begins your martial law, and wide-spread civil war. But, I doubt the government would allow the situation to escalate into that, and I doubt the Americans are brave, and strong enough to do that which is necessary to hold onto the little bit of freedom they have left. The very little bit. I don't see weapons being outlawed in general as this court case points to being a possibility - it's just not what I'm going to bet on. We'll just have to see though.
