How about kegs of black powder? They had those. How about the Girondoni 20 shot repeating rifle? How about the pepper box? How about cannons? They had cannons |

Even a non lawyer knows that the 1st amendment only covers a single page at a time printing press and not one of those multi page printers nobody needs a multi-page printer and as far as the internet goes that is not covered it all! |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
