The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives us the right to own guns. But I do not believe it gives individuals the right to own assault-style weapons. As Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently said, “The weapons were designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to kill the largest number of people in the shortest period of time.” Why would any rational, law-abiding citizen need such a weapon? I can’t imagine. |

"Why would any rational, law-abiding citizen need such a weapon? I can’t imagine."
Well, then, you're an idiot.
"[To] secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among men...[W]henever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends...it is their Right, their Duty, to throw off such Government[.]" - Declaration of Independence
Beginning to become clearer now? No?
Then, like I said, you're an idiot.

"The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Infringe: 1.) To intrude into.
2.) To diminish
This means when you ban X type of gun, you have INTRUDED INTO the rights of the people .... and, oh yes, you have diminished those rights.

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
