  • To the idiots at TYT.

    The 2nd Amendment is an INDIVIDUAL right. Your lame argument has been struck down by the SCOTUS.

    Fuck with the 2nd Amendment and expect a fight, one you will not win.

  • Hey douche bag, historical context, militia refers to any able bodied man. Regulated, refers to those men being formed into units and carrying their own guns. Did the forefathers anticipate "assault weapons"? Maybe. The people of that time had the same weapons the British had.

    The adoption of the Constitution was not a shoe in. They had a lot of trouble getting it ratified. Many complained the document only divided the powers of government between the federal and the state, there were More..

  • Do I have to listen to this bloaded turk fag again?

    That is not what the term militia meant, it was not just someone, other than military, that was regulated by the local garison. It had a much different and broader term.

    "Arms in the hands of the citizens may be used at individual discretion for the defense of the country, the overthrow of tyranny or private self-defense."

  • He should come out to the range in my town and tell people that they are not well regulated and lack the training necessary to be a capable force against any sort of domestic or foreign threat that may ever occur . Two weeks ago while i was at the range , i was not alone and i was one of 5 people sporting an AR type rifle. Not one of those people made me in the slightest bit worried and they were all quite capable. I totally support and back law enforcement. some of my best of friends are police More..

  • You will start a fucking WAR if you try and touch our Arms.

    A Militia is to be armed with enough firepower to combat tyrannical governments. This means Americans have the RIGHT to own weapons that can protect ones self and ones Liberty from heavily armed opposition. This isn't hunting shit people. A Militia IS NOT FORMED BY GOVERNMENT, but by PRIVATE well armed citizens.

    once again this fool shows us his idiocy.

  • The way we have a free state is by stopping domestic tyranny, not injuns Turk. A "well regulated" means well supplied. All they had back then muskets, so they had they most powerful arsenal that technology could provide. Today, our founding fathers would wonder why the average family didn't have an AR15, M-14, and a massive supply of ammo. Not against our neighbor Jerk, but as the military oath says, "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, fo More..

    • @Yukon6400

      ""well regulated" means well supplied"
      uh? Of course. lol....

      And when exactly is the last time well "supplied" Americans used their weapons to get rid of a "domestic tyranny jerk" who got "in there and bypassed the legislature and tried to mandate the public to do things"?

      Give us just one example of that kind of domestic tyranny being suppressed by American citizens with their big weaponry.

    • @Yukon6400 we regulated means well disciplined, well formed. Where do you figure regulated means supplied?

    • @Horgh_Ungolokh

      In 1776 it was Englishmen in the colonies that were declaring independence from their own government. Please see the Declaration of Independence for the list of grievances. In 1861 it was Americans that rebelled and declared independence from their own government the Union.

      Oops, that was two examples.

    • @Aariss "we regulated means well disciplined, well formed. Where do you figure regulated means supplied?"

      It means those too. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

      The object or goal is a free state. Free from tyranny. What is necessary to the security of a free state? A well regulated militia. Regulated by whom? Not the government, those guys were the regulars. The More..

    • @Yukon6400
      Definition of regulated
      Control or supervise (something, esp. a company or business activity) by means of rules and regulations.

      Does not mean supplies. Or it would have said well regulated and supplied militia. In fact many Armies and Militias(Who had to supply their own stuff most of the time) of the day were barely supplied. They had to take from farms and under the rules pay for them. If the could not follow the rules and started looting and breaking laws, they were disbanded an More..
