Look, we could end gang violence (which kills far more people) if we did away with the 4th Amendment. I still say that I would rather see gang members (and all citizens) maintain their constitutional rights than I would see us end gang violence. Why? Because when we do away with 4th Amendment rights for gang.members, doing away with those rights for you and me would quickly follow.

The Bill of Rights is a fantastic document and I personally cherish those rights and would not part with any of them if it made me more safe and secure. What's the point of safety and security if you have no liberty?

The Unites States military definitely will be. Now will that soldier follow orders to attack Americans I don't know. They have drones that will.

I'm not sure confiscation would be part of it.

Banning the sale, transfer and use is probably enough.

Citing our military failures vs. the Taliban and the Viet Cong without acknowledging our involvement in areas where we had no real understanding of those groups or their rationales, the allure and support in their own homelands or their organizational makeup and size is disingenuous. It was more than anything and unfortunate display of our leadership's ignorance and arrogance imo. And so we have groups of lightly armed goofs giving it to us for decades.

IMO, a well regulated militia would have some match-up problems vs an offense revolving around nuclear weapons.

the US military probably knows more about the topography of Iraq and Afghanistan than they do much of the rural western USA.

Well good thing that's no longer an issue.

Go ahead and print one. What are you going to do with it?

You would think the revolutionary war would have taught us something about home field advantage.

They need people to remotely pilot those drones.

Ogie is correct. There is zero doubt in my mind that a great number of soldiers would defect if any of this even came close to happening.

the only way to reliably put down an armed insurrection is genocide. if the US government is perpetrating a genocide (which I think will probably happen in the next 20 years) you're gonna wish you had a rifle to defend yourself.

Honestly I prefer the CNC milled ones as they are equal in quality with the one you find at your local gun shop. Plus they finish quicker.

Upon further review, Scalia left a neat little hiccup in his Heller opinion that leaves open the idea of banning "dangerous and unusual weapons" as well as "arms that are highly unusual in society at large". You have got to respect the guy as a legal mind and provocateur if nothing else.

But do you really want to give this SCOTUS a chance to gnaw on "arms that are highly unusual in society at large", especially if Ginsburg checks out in the next 8 years or so?

Have we figured out the resolution yet fellas?

No? Maybe when this reaches page 20 everyone will be in agreement.

Good day.

So, what is a gun owner going to do with it? Can't shoot it anywhere. Can't carry it anywhere. Can't sell it or give it to anyone. Even if it use it in self defense in your home you are putting yourself in serious legal issues.

Or, instead of trying to literally remove an amendment of the Constitution, we just try and come up with some actual solutions to the current gun problem in the United States instead of pretending like it's either unsolvable or not a big deal or that the FBI should have locked up this kid for a youtube comment and being expelled from school.

Why are you not actively protesting the restrictions on our 6th amendment rights?

BRick, you're bad at this.

Yup!

Right-o! Just forget about that Civil War thing or Shay's Rebellion. Could never happen!

Your V for Vendetta fantasies do make me laugh. If total anarchy hits, let me know how it works out for you.

He literally mentioned locking up mexicans and blacks in this thread who kill, while basically ignoring what happened here because school shootings don't happen much.

He didn't get to use the other category though.

Right. Kinda sucks for parents of dead children though.

Your proposed law would never hold up against the 2nd Amendment. It's really not even worth discussing because no reading of the 2nd Amendment would allow for it

How high do you have to be to think that the U.S. government could squash uprisings with nuclear weapons and F-15s?

It wouldn't and couldn't happen that way. Can you imagine being in the room when a president gave the order to nuke downtown Manhattan? My hope would be that the order would be refused on several levels.

We ARE the government. Those people in the military, congress, the bureaucracy, the cabinet, etc. are our neighbors, friends, and family. The government isn't some nebulous evil force that would nuke its own citizens. We could very well overthrow the government if enough people believed in it.
