Supreme court to hear 2nd admendment
Harvey,
I'm anxious to hear the outcome of this case, not that it will change my view on firearms ownership one danged bit.
In my opinion, and in the opinion of our Founders, firearm ownership cannot be banned by any level of government......because the Creator gave us the right to defend ourselves from our attackers.
In this particular case, the subject has to do with banning modern HANDGUNS. It does not pertain to rifles, shotguns, or even black-powder pistols.
The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to decide if it is unconstitutional to ban any particular weapon, or class of weapons......and we all know the Federal Government's position on Class III weapons, otherwise known as machine guns.
Most people believe machine guns were outlawed for sale in the U.S. This is not the case. Any person who may lawfully purchase any other firearm, may also purchase machine guns, even today. The only stipulation to this, of course, is that for every controlled device, or weapon, there is a 200 dollar fee which must be paid prior to taking possession of the device or weapon. (A silencer is an example of a controlled device. A fully automatic M-16 is an example of a controlled weapon.)
The issue at hand here is whether or not the District of Columbia has the power to make a certain class of weapons illegal for sale or possession to its citizens.......even though there are no federal limitations on this particular class of weapons.

Supreme court to hear 2nd admendment
KThompson,
I don't know where this came from, as the author gives credit to someone other than himself.
"Remember, if the second amendment read, "A well-fed militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and eat food shall not be infringed," in no way could it be interpreted that only the National Guard has a right to eat."
I couldn't help but grin.

Pelletfarmer,
I don't often meet people like you on the internet, but I'm damn glad you showed up here.
If you would, even if just this one time, go cast a vote for Ron Paul, I'd be greatly indebted to you, Sir.
Ron Paul is the first constitutionalist to run for office since Thomas Jefferson.
Though it's never good to put one's faith in any fellow man, Ron Paul is hands down the best person on the ticket. I could use your help, and I'm asking for it.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Sir.
Joel
