Shotguns have been used by military, and still are, short or long barreled! |

"If the framers didn't intend to grant each citizen the right to bear a sawed-off shotgun, let's assume they also didn't intend to grant each citizen the right to bear "dangerous" military-style assault rifles capable of slaughtering dozens of school children or churchgoers in a few minutes."
That is a completely unsupported assumption.
In declaring that the Court had seen no evidence that the sawed-off shotgun was a legitimate militia weapon, it ruled on what DOES qualify weapons for protection under the 2A, namely ARMS JUST LIKE THE AR-15.
1. in common use 2. an unquestionable relationship to militia use 3. a civilian, semiautomatic version of "military equipment" 4. could contribute to the common defense
These cretins are despicable. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
