Regulate appears 3 times in the constitution. One time is guns.

"After the bombings of the world trade in 96 and okc, we regulated hydrogen peroxide among other agents. So they switched to guns, knowing there would never be any regulations on them."?


Do you not comprehend the regulations on firearms?

A tank kills people. And blows up things. A tank with no firing pin is a hover round. You know why it is a hover round? Cause its gun was neutered. RIGHT?

Well, it's a hover round that can still squash cars and knock down buildings. Even without it's main gun it's still a very deadly vehicle that no one around town has the equipment to stop.

Who swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and protect the nation and its government from armed insurrections, foreign or domestic. Guess that leaves out a whole lot of pissed off fake patriots who run around in cammo in the woods and talk big smoke about overthrowing the government, doesn't it?

Uhhh...no. You are missing who the militia is fighting for and who they are fighting against. Something something...just fought a revolution...something something.

What you really meant to say was that guns are one of the few areas that the Constitution says "no touchy", right? I knew that's what you meant.

No touchy on the right to bear arms. Constitution doesn't say diddly about a state or locality's right to regulate certain types of firearms or their right to classify certain weapons. It only says that the citizen's right to bear arms is inviolate.

The Federal government itself has restrictions on certain firearms classifications right now.

I'll see your "who the militia is fighting for" and raise you a Hay's Rebellion, Whiskey Rebellion and so on and so forth.
Keep pumping and dumping.

Then you understand that it's the militia that is regulated, not the private citizens that are gun owners, basically playing the role of both an armory and recruiting station.

'Regulated" is up for discussion.....but the initial Militia Act of 1792 has never been removed, and remains in effect under Title 10.

It identifies male citizens between the ages of 18-45, with the exception of veterans, which are still subject to recall until the age of 65.

Aaaannndd...I'm guessing you don't understand how the "right of the people to bear arms" plays into making that militia, right?

(Hint: Our militia was formed from gun-owning private citizens)

Wrong again. Anything specifically covered in the Constitution supersedes state law. Anything not covered in the Constitution gets kicked down to the states, per the 10A. Since the Constitution specifically states that the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed, that covers that.

Not going to read 10 pages. My point stands.

What's your point? You think rebellion is guaranteed to win? Did you think you made a point?

That's correct, though we've moved the bar now to include male and female, iirc.

I have not yet seen or heard if the word "male" has been removed from Title 10 as of yet, but if it has not, its just a matter of time as females are now already allowed in combat positions.
