[quote=Anonymous]I've read the postings and there are a few things that do pop up.

Yes, I believe that the vernacular used is important at it's time of conception. For example, a book written in the 20's would have a completely different flavor today if I was describing somebody as "A gay fellow" would it not?

With that said, well regulated was used to describe in good working order and militia were men ages 15-45. Today, the first seems to be regulations which many refer to military or police and the later militia is some fringe group.

Another one refers to times change and all that. Yes, but if you believe in that then mass communication, network news agencies, here, national peroidicals and so on shouldn't be protected by the first amendment and be liable  for slander yes?

As for lacking vision about future arms, you may be surprised by looking things up like a Puckel gun and other inventions of their time.

For one commenter involving neutron bombs and other over the top systems, you may want to dial it back a little. Gattling guns are not a restricted item either. If you qualify to own firearms (state dependent) then you can own one. That simple. Try affording to fed it though. With that, machine guns, silencers, short barreled rifles and shotguns can be legally owned and purchased with the proper licenses and taxes, for most its a $200.00 tax stamp.

No, the AR-15 is not a military weapon and has never been used as a military weapon by any military. You're referring to an M-16 or it's variants. An AR-15 is a commercial rifle which is very common today in all types of firearm ventures.

No, the second amendment is not about hunting or shooting clays or any other social event. It is there to protect the citizenry from a tyrannical or overbearing government.

No, the chipping away of the bill of rights weather speech, your homes sanctuary, due process, and yes firearms also should be abhorred. I'm not a gun nut but I can appreciate the rights and freedoms that we as a nation have. I am the last person to say how somebody should live as I believe in the the pursuit of happiness and all that nor do I believe in mob rule.

Just my observations.[/quote]
