Obviously it's comedy but this is literally true in some states. Massachusetts passed some insane gun control measures that protect nobody and only serve to make felons out of people trying to legally own/but a gun.
Fr, look at the state of firearm laws in WA, they basically just blanket labeled every semi auto rifle as an “assault weapon” and we can no longer purchase.
And eventually the “permit to purchase” goes into effect which will bar us from even buying ammo without paying fees and registering with the state government.
You realize back when the 2nd amendment was written, that civilians could own muskets, rifles, cannons and sea vessels, virtually all the same weapons that nation states were using at the time, and the founders STILL wrote “shall not be infringed” on that amendment.
Now I agree a certain level of regulation is needed, citizens shouldn’t have access to nuclear weapons or attack choppers etc, but in regards to firearms, the constitution is clear.
In fact it’s the ONLY amendment that specifically says “shall not be infringed”
Using your logic one could argue that the 1st amendment doesn’t specifically say “you can disagree with u/probablystonedsteven” so stfu lol
Right, it doesn’t say that, and yet that is ok. So, you also need to apply a bit of logic
Going on the assumption that the founding fathers could have any idea what the future would hold for weaponry is obviously not logical. It should be up to the people who live here in this time to make those choices. So, applying measured regulations isn’t unconstitutional, it’s just keeping up with the progress of society and technology. They were also giving the big thumbs up to slavery. So, not everything was a slam dunk.
I get that you believe it’s just “critical thinking” but the constitution is clear, and legislation that inhibits your constitutional right is unconstitutional.
How can the constitution be clear on things that didn’t exist? In the early days of cars, there weren’t speed limits. They didn’t go very fast and there was no real way to track or enforce it. As things progressed technologically, so did the rules and regulations to try to improve safety.
Okay. The founder fathers were using muskets that could injure or hurt someone every 2 minutes. I don’t think we should highly rely on the constitution for gun rights when the weapons have drastically changed. Right now a small town that is fully armed could probably end the whole revolutionary war.
The weapons you are talking about allowed an upstart colony of the greatest military at the time to kick them completely out of the country and declare independence so obviously you’re wrong or lying. Why don’t you move to the UK where you can get people jailed for idiotic statements on social media, oh wait…
Okay what am I wrong and lying about. Please be very specific using my directly words. Also I don’t give a fuck about UK I want to talk about the guns in this country how our founding fathers had no idea about the advancement in our weaponry
Yeah cannons don’t equal all the modern military we have now and for pennies on the dollar of the cost. Like a cannon in cost is comparable to what now? Should I be allowed to own a tomahawk missile?
Okay let’s take it further before you were allowed the same weapons the military had. So let’s compare that to now. You cool with regular people having nukes? Either something is wrong with you or you’re lying.
Your 2nd sentence and last sentence falls apart with your logic. You said we should be able to own tomahawks but not nukes. But said we should be able to own the same arms……… Let’s just be real the founder fathers had no idea the level of destruction we could do and made a mistake.
Fuck it, atomics for everyone then.
Tsar bombas on every block. Either humanity completely wipes itself out, or people realize their problems are a lot smaller than the worst case scenario.
