Some Truths About The 2nd Amendment and Guns

Reloading is an activity, not a problem.

Understood, sorry.

@Samm

Are you suggesting that using children to make pornography does not harm them?

It usually does… that doesn’t mean it isn’t subjective.

The harm done to children who are subjected to performing in child pornography is demonstrable. By definition, that is not subjective.

@TheRedComet

Is an “assault” rifle more dangerous than another type of firearm?

What makes an AR-15 different than an M1A?

Its an inferior firearm that fires an inferior cartridge. That’s the main difference.

[Samm]

@PurpnGold

Any firearm can be banned for any reason. 2A does not guarantee you can have ANY firearm manufactured. Just that you can bear arms.

No it can’t. The SCOTUS clearly said so.

@WuWei

No such thing as a “banana clip”.

There are clips and there are magazines - learn the difference.

“Stripper clip” to be exact.

Only if you completely ignore the 2nd Amendment and thankfully we now own the judiciary for at least the next three or four decades so that isn’t remotely possible.

“Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. [It is] not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.”

You are misreading that sentence. They did not give carte blanch to ban any weapon for any reason.

@markdido

Please list some other rights that citizens have to pay to exercise.

Freedom to assemble. (ie; If you want to assemble on public property for the purpose of a rally or protest, a lot of municipalities require an application fee for a permit along with deposits, cost of clean-up, and cost of added security or police)

The fee and restrictions are on the location, not the assembly.

What makes an AR-15 different than an M1A?

Weight, caliber, accuracy. I’ll take an M1A over an AR any day.

We are not talking about body hair grooming.

[WildRose]

It was, even the 9th Circuit had to throw it out and forced them to come up with a reasonable permitting process.

Tiny steps in the right direction.

[WildRose]

There aren’t unless your “assembly” infringes on the rights of others and/or creates a threat to public safety.

Our rights only exist up to the point at which they infringe on the rights of others.

[WildRose]

Full and half moon clips as well.

[TheRedComet]

I agree.

I was just speaking to why anti-gun zealots seem to hate ARs, but ignore superior rifles that don’t have plastic furniture.

@SixFoot

I’ve only ever fired from a magazine or a belt myself. I prefer the belt.

I’ve fired from a clip. I have an M1 Garand.

[bigtwnvin]

PLING! Watch that thumb. Did you get your Garand through the CMP?

[AZslim]

No, I inherited it. It’s all in one one piece. According to a book I have the serial numbers put it from 1943.

[bigtwnvin]

Awesome, do you know the manufacturer? During WWII Garands were made by a dozen or more factories ( like everything else), including the Singer Sewing Machine Corp. The manufacturer should be stamped on the top of the receiver behind the rear sight.

It is a Springfield Armory one.

[bigtwnvin]

That’s a keeper. Ok now I’m insanely jealous. Have you had out to the range?
Never mind don’t tell me.
■■■■ me, an M1 Garand bestowed upon thee.
