As the SS DHS arms up with 7,000 AR-15s, two of America’s most prominent politicians unveiled their new gun confiscation bill this morning.

That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided, as dangerous to liberty; and that, in all cases, the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.
With surnames like Feinstein and Bloomberg, one might expect that they would know a little bit more about their own history.
A resonating message, and a herald of Things To Come. “Pass the popcorn, Mom, this looks like a good movie!” (Famous last words…)
That seems good enough reason in itself to not involuntarily confiscate weapons.
How about letting this “well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free state” possess that same weapons that they had when this law (?) was written?
Can’t see a problem with that.
What a stupid comment. They had the military grade weapons of the day, which allowed them to defeat the British. Why don’t you suggest that they used spears and arrows for an equivalent analogy?
That is either the most ignorant comment ever seen here or the most deceptively tyrannical. If you are not simply a dumbass then you are a natural born slave, or rather a natural born tyrant.
If we used your logic ( and some have tried in court challenges ) then the First Amendment would only protect pamphleteering and soapbox speeches.
Historically your statist predecessors successfully used your logic in Plessy for their own self-serving purposes by using the traditional definition of what a “person” is. I’m not impressed by your argument at all as you might imagine.
Note to others, it is easy to think that the government or the police or the armed forces are the enemy, but that is not so. They are products of the actual problem. Our actual enemy, the enemy of freedom, the enemy of the Constitution are among us. This domestic enemy will sell you out in a heartbeat, sacrificing your liberty for their security without a moment’s thought.
Without leftist liberals voting for them they cannot exist. This is what people need to keep in mind if it all breaks down and the shit hits the fan. Without enablers to elect them no tyrannical government will easily take control. Think it through.
Sure. Providing the state and the bad guys (sometimes they are one and the same) are armed in the same manner. “Proper, natural and safe” means modern firearms.
Don’t believe the people had weapons equal to the British? Go to Cooche’s Bridge in Newark/Glasgow, where you will observe the cannon still mounted.
They were brought to the fight by the people.
History has the record of many of Jewish descent who were traitorous to their cause . Remember , God gave them a special blessing but just like the rest of us we have free choice to use our blessings for good or evil . Because most Jews are resistant to the call of Christ they frequently behave in an evil manner . And think they are rightous and and better than the rest of us as they do so . There are many wonderfull Jewish people , but you rarely see them in the news of the day .
“Because most Jews are resistant to the call of Christ they frequently behave in an evil manner”. And Christians never behave in an evil manner? And Christians are never righteous or think that they are better than others? Appalling, truly appalling.
Evil manner? Ignorance on display…
