No, I get it, any gun law is a slippery slope and opens things up to more of the gov't taking our arms. Maybe the compromise would be not to BAN bumpstocks outright, but regulate them in the same manner as automatic weapons; permit, licence..etc??
Agree that that's what the 2nd amendment says, but it's an amendment after all. They are by definition open to being amended.
That's what they did to make it illegal to own an auto without a licence.
Guys, amending the Constitution is the reason they set up the Constitution as they did. If we couldn't change it with the times, women wouldn't be able to vote and blacks would be 3/5ths of a person. Obviously I'm not saying changing it is the right thing to do kek, but it's the way it works.
Amending the Constitution is by DEFINITION Constitutional.
Sooo… the Bill of Rights was written a few years before the Constitution, and within in contains the 2nd amendment. Notice it's NOT called the 2nd "right".
We're not even on our original Constitution.
Actually, sad as it may sound… your rights are whatever your elected reps tell you they are. They can be changed at any time, with or without your consent.
Not saying there won't be a fight… just saying be careful who you vote for.
I agree 100%, only stated the amendments can be amended. Nothing more.
The part where the Bill of Rights is not the Constitution but the pre-amble to it.
You are not guaranteed any of the 1st 10 amends… a couple hundred years ago some guys told the Crown, they didn't ask them.
Constitution is the only doc that holds water.
I own guns because I fear my gov't, not my neighbor too. But without some form of organization, a SWAT team is gonna get my guns from my cold dead hands. Having a gun is only half the battle.
o7 M8. Rally point at local VFW should that day come.
To me it looks like an expired parachute flare. The shelf life isn't long in humid environments. Could be some ex-military guy saying, "check out what I kept" to his buddies.
Something similar was posted just prior to today's Q though.
Something about "Gorgon_stare" and then jargon.
They do that when they begin quoting a sentence that was started with other words.
KEK!
