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 |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
