Me: Where is your well-regulated militia? Do you muster? Can you mount a coordinated action as a unit? Can your unit coordinate with other units to achieve a strategic objective? Can you point to any well regulated militia?
Them: Anyone and I mean anyone should be able to buy a 50cal machine gun as long as they have the money, no questions asked. Questioning that ability is akin to treason.
Me: Let’s circle back
@Timboslice
The 2a uses well regulated militia as an example, it does not and never has claimed that the right to own guns is exclusive to a well regulated militia. This is very clear as not only is the wording indicative of this but so is the application. Since day one everyone, even those not associated with q militia in anyway, had a right to bear arms.
@freemo
Interesting take and by that I mean hilarious.
2A is predicated on citizen participation in militia to resist tyranny.
Once tyranny pops its head up all those people with gun fetishes are going to do what?
@Timboslice Saying an argument is hilarious without offering any rebuttal to the points presented really just shows your own stance as exceedingly weak.
To quote the relevant part of the 2a " the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The rest simply gives one reason why it shall not be infringed, though it says nothing to suggest that **only** those in a militia should have the right, in fact, it explicitly states that the right applies to "the people", inferring all of the people.
@Timboslice As for what the people with guns will do once tryanny pops up.. however they respond (presumably they would organize into militias) one thing is clear, they would be far more effective with guns than without.
