[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good.  Gun nuts be crazy.

Well REGULATED militia.  Not private unlimited arsenals.  REGULATED.[/quote]

You're showing your ignorance, I'm afraid. Look up the contextual definition and usage of the term "regulated" for the Colonial-era, and you'll find it has nothing to do with the current interpretation of the word.

Well in the Colonial Era they also didn’t have guns capable of mowing down 20 persons. They were lucky if they could hit a deer at 30 feet. [/quote]

Rifled muskets of the era were quite accurate, out to about 200 yards. Basically the equivalent effective range of most iron-sighted medium-powered rifles today, such as the AR15. Smoothbores less so, but they could reliably hit a man sized target at over a hundred yards.

They also didn't have the internet, television, radio or any manner of other modern methods of speech that you no doubt claim are covered under the first amendment, either.

So if modern firearms aren't protected, then neither is your freedom of speech, unless it's by quill pen or Towne Cryer.

Is that a road you wanna go down? [/quote]
