interesting. so creating clip restrictions will only work on people who follow the law, but psycho mass shooters and other criminals can just ignore it i guess.

I think it’s clear the “militia” referred to in the 2nd amendment is now the group of firearm owning citizens in our country today. People own to protect themselves, their family and neighbors, and their freedoms even if it means using those arms against our own government. They possess guns because they want they ability to protect themselves and their rights in the situations when police or the military would or could not be. It’s a standing militia.
And the 2nd amendment clearly states this militia is not just to be regulated, but “well regulated”. As in to a quite high degree of regulation. So yeah, Massachusetts is correct as far as the thread title is concerned. AR-15s are not a constitutional right IMO. The denial of access to certain weapons falls under that regulation the founding fathers put in the very opening of 2nd.
It’s not my logic, it’s the writers of the 2nd amendment’s
I think they fear they will be disarmed by warped progressive libs because of these mass shooters. They are not using assault rifles by the way.
A well regulated militia. What you're posting is most certainly your progressive logic. You just said small arms are not a right.
why? its pretty clearly unconstitutional, as per Heller V District of Columbia.
We need to upgrade from a past constitution that is outdated imo. I find it sad people to reference everything back to it without updating to current times.
I guess we will see which of us is right as far as what fear is more prevalent in the coming years as these policies get voted on.
Some are using assault rifles. Were we not just discussing the Vegas shooting where FIFTY EIGHT people died from an AR?
Never said smalls arms aren’t a right. I implied the 2nd amendment doesn’t make any specific caliber of rifle automatically a right. Is the basic single shot .22 rifle going to stay legal most places, sure. Someday will a single shot .22 handgun printed in a 3D printer that’s plastic and can pass through metal detectors and doesn’t have any sort of serial number going to be legal to possess everywhere? Probably not, because ownership is not an outright constitutional right that comes without regulation. That’s not progressive logic, that’s just how things are.
If you want to argue whether the term militia applies to the current American citizens who are armed for self defense I’m more interested in that than your rants on liberals.
ok........ what wrong with Ar-15s?
People that own firearms are definitely more worried about being disarmed. Why do you think sales sometimes increase after these events?
The AR-15 is not an assault rifle. It's just a semi auto rife.
"Never said smalls arms aren’t a right. I implied the 2nd amendment doesn’t make any specific caliber of rifle automatically a right."
You are saying that small arms are not a right here.
Exactly. The 2nd amendment was written to give people the right to fight against the militaryAlso I don't get this "military weapon" argument. The second was literally made to defend the right of the citizens to hold military weapons of the day.
Nothing, just the people who've I met owning them lol.
Its not assault rifle because it takes a pause between multiple shots.. who gives a fu@@. It's still close to being assault weapon lol.
No it's not close. They don't have barrels that can withstand full automatic fire and usually don't have a receiver that allows you to install an auto sear.
Semi-auto sounds close to automatic but OK. It's their words not mine.
