December 13, 201510 yr But is it a constitutional right? No. It's a right protected under the Second Amendment so the answer is yes as far as I see it.
December 13, 201510 yr It's a right protected under the Second Amendment so the answer is yes as far as I see it. You're really sinking in the quickstand. Your right to "bear arms" doesn't necessarily extend to AR-15s. No doubt that's why you included the "as far as I see it" line.
December 13, 201510 yr You're really sinking in the quickstand. Your right to "bear arms" doesn't necessarily extend to AR-15s. You're reaching again. Is it legal to own them? Yes. Therefore protected under the 2nd amendment.
December 13, 201510 yr You're reaching again. Is it legal to own them? Yes. Therefore protected under the 2nd amendment. I like your back-door logic. Fact is, Congress could ban civilian ownership of assault weapons tomorrow, and such would not be "unconstitutional."
December 13, 201510 yr I like your back-door logic. Fact is, Congress could ban civilian ownership of assault weapons tomorrow, and such would not be "unconstitutional." Which in a roundabout way is what I'm trying to get at. The "it's legal so it's constitutional" argument. What happens when it ain't legal?
December 13, 201510 yr I like your back-door logic. Fact is, Congress could ban civilian ownership of assault weapons tomorrow, and such would not be "unconstitutional." Until that happens it's protected under the Second Amendment. Therefore unless that happens it still a right. You'll have to excuse me as I have to be getting ready for church, time for me to go cling to my Bible and all. I'll pick this back up after church.
December 13, 201510 yr Author What happens when it ain't legal? Terrorists and such will have to start attacking with muzzle loaders of course.
December 13, 201510 yr One last point before I walk out the door. If there is a ban on so-called assault weapons it will likely be like the last one. So for the sake of argument let's say TTP owns an AR-15 and an AK-47, if for nothing else just to make him feel uncomfortable, lol. If there was a ban he would still get to keep those weapons, therefore still protected under the Second Amendment.

Congress could simply pass a law outlawing ownership of AR-15s, and not just manufacture of said weapons. Don't base your assumptions on what the situation was 1994-2004.

December 13, 201510 yr Read this S L O W L Y so that perhaps it might sink in. I'm not a member of the NRA. I'm just a guy that thinks for himself and doesn't let fear be his guide. Yeah, I'm not either. Never have been, never will be.

So now you're talking gun confiscation? You're all over the map on this issue. Not to mention showing your true colors.
December 13, 201510 yr Author Reread the previous 205 posts. I didn't ask why YOU want to ban them, i asked why congress would. The simple answer is, it ain't happening.
