Should the NRA, a civil rights group, be declared a terrorist organization?

What is the success rate with regards to prohibition?

I would guess that it depends on what is being prohibited. If it is something people want then a black market is good bet.

Our founding fathers would probably be appalled at the size of government today.

Which is where theses guns will be bought if they are banned.

Do you think that the Founding Fathers would approve of assault weapons? Yes or no. It is not an infringement because ASSAULT WEAPONS ARE NOT THE ONLY TYPE OF FIREARM! Good God.

Yes I think they would. They were okay with citizens having muskets which were a military grade weapon of the time. Keep in mind they loathed standing armies and figured an armed populace would be a check against the abuses that were wrought by those who controlled such armies.

So give it another try. How is a prohibition not an infringement keeping in mind there is no assault weapon clause to the amendment?

Just like drugs. How is that prohibition working out?

It is a train wreck of governmental abuse.

You'd be okay with people owning Nuclear weapons?

Just because of the 2nd Amendment?

I'm not concerned about it due to the improbability of it happening.

Why do you treat the Constitution as a terrorist document?

I've done no such thing.

Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.

The Supreme Court really has already decided on this issue.

Which says nothing to the prohibition of common firearms of which you don't seem to think there is an infringement issue. So by your own logic here, the nuclear weapon point is a specious argument.

I have never advocated for the prohibition of common firearms.

The so called assault weapons are pretty common or are you against banning them?

Compared to the number of handguns they are uncommon.

[dsummoner]

The fear addled and emotive pablum driven mentality of the lower rungs of the Libbie Klan fascists make for easy manipulation of the same by the Hiterlian Mussolinis of 'merica (e.g. Fiend Stain).

[Dryfire]

Compared to my family and many friends they are common. Do a fact finding mission and go up to Marriotsville Gun Range and see how many you'll find on the firing line. You'll see anything from muzzleloaders to .................

Unfortunately the nuclear weapons range has been closed for winter repairs so you won't find any of them there until early summer.

And if assault weapons were banned what you like to see happen with all the millions of them that are already out there?

Just what in the size of the government would they be appalled at?

If you ever read the Constitution you wouldn't ask that question.

Just what in the size of the government would they be appalled at?

The Founding Fathers engaged in an insurrection against a government that was less obtrusive than the massive galactic dungheap government squatting over the citizenry today.
