[W:230] Yet Another Shooting

Aberration said:
Heller quoted Miller for a reason. And Miller wasn’t about pistols. [emoji848]

Yeah the NRA should slit its own throat or liberals might put ***** hats on again. [emoji849] You’re never getting 38 States to ratify a change to the 2nd. And I guarantee if you did the people would throw off those bonds and assume their natural rights.

I didn't mention Miller or sawed off shot guns. Heller was a good decision in my view: DC was trying to outlaw pistols in the home and that just will not fly. As for changes to the second, if the mess keeps up enough states could be garnered. Throwing armed guards out there for sure shoot outs isn't a solution.

You have yet to prove you know the difference between laws and amendments.

An anti constitutional criminal; charge. But it's not been broken by any individual that I'm aware of. Any questions have been litigated; your side is constantly wrong: Heller was about pistols, not rifles or shotguns... Moreover, there aren't any movements of any credibility whatsoever that are interested in changing the second, but that itself could change if the gun crowd and the NRA don't get on board and help solve the gun problem in this country.

Heller was about firearms "in common use for lawful purposes". Sorry that you don't like that. Show me where there is a law about breaking the Second Amendment. Your claims are worthless without a cite. It can't be broken by an individual - it, like the other 9 Amendment in the BOR are restrictions on the federal government.

District of Columbia law bans handgun possession by making it a crime to carry an unregistered firearm and prohibiting the registration of handguns; provides separately that no person may carry an unlicensed handgun, but authorizes the police chief to issue 1-year licenses; and requires residents to keep lawfully owned firearms unloaded and dissembled or bound by a trigger lock or similar device. Respondent Heller, a D. C. special policeman, applied to register a handgun he wished to keep at home, but the District refused.

and in holding that pistols cannot be banned, the court created a test

1) is the weapon in common use?

2) is the weapon not unusually dangerous

if the weapon meets both tests it cannot be constitutionally banned.

pistols=which were the subject of this lawsuit-were thus protected

other firearms that meet the test are protected as well

semi auto rifles for example
 
How can you be a free speech advocate AND a trump supporter? trump has said he would like to abolish the 1st amendment. He also wants the media to just report nice things about him...or else.

What does this have to do with the thread? When did President Trump said that he wants to abolish the 1st amendment?
