Seriously. You want to used these quotes to defend your stance? Then you have the right bear all arms that were available to you in 1776.
Just the 1A only applies to the printing press.
Remarkable that one amendment can adapt with evolving society and not another, isn’t it? It’s almost like one of them is the bread and butter of a gian$ lo$$y organi$ation and g$n manu$acture$.
Still crickets from the gun nuts here.
Since you seem to think the 1A covers inventions postdating the printing press, I see no reason that the 2A can't also cover modern armaments. The 2A did evolve much like the 1A and like the 1A it didn't become more narrow in scope.

Trump accused her of planning to “take all your guns away”. That’s not what reinstating an assault rifle ban is. You NRA nuts are just sad you’ll lose money. Sick.

Wow one of those semiautomatic shotguns that have been around for about 125 years. Wonder if they will be on the banned list.
It’s not a semiautomatic gun, dummy. Stop being such an imbecile.
Really? There are 3 types of shotguns, break-action, pump-action and semiautomatic. It is not a break-action or pump-action so that leaves only one choice.
Your pedantic technical jargon is lost on normal people who DGAF about your gun nonsense. It’s not a semiautomatic gun, regardless of what gibberish you’re babbling about. If you have PROOF otherwise, then cite it. Otherwise STHU with your disruptive blathering.
Your insults are hilarious, though not as ridiculously hilarious as you openly displaying your complete ignorance of even the most basic firearms facts.
You are just so astoundingly stupid, I cannot help but throw you a bone out of pure pity for you:
Tim is holding a Beretta A400 Xcel, which is (say it with me):
- a SEMIAUTOMATIC SHOTGUN
it is NOT a semiautomatic, idiot!![]()
- it's partly made of wood
- it doesn't have a high capacity clip
- it doesn't have a telescopic lens aiming device
- it doesn't have a handle underneath the bottom
- it looks absolutely nothing like a gun a army person would carry
All your buzzwords and technical jargon mean nothing, ok? Can you get that through your stupid trumper head?
^^^THIS, 100%^^^
Walz’s gun is NOT a semiautomatic!
And there is no fixing stupid.
Ok smartie, then tell us all why we’re wrong.![]()
Ok, will keep it simple for you. A semiautomatic shotgun works a lot like an AR-15. Gas from the fired shell is captured and used to drive a bolt which then loads the next shell. One shot per trigger pull just like an AR-15. Less rounds than an AR-15 but same basic firing mechanism.
Except the gun Walz is holding looks absolutely NOTHING like an AR15. Which is why many of us here who are not gun fetishists like you seem to have a lot of trouble believing what you claim. It certainly doesn’t resemble what I would call a semiautomatic gun. Walz is holding what I presume is a typical hunting type rifle that legitimate hunters would use for dispatching deers or ducks or whatever. I admittedly know very little about guns, but I would presume and hypothesize that the projectile this type of hunting gun discharges is probably far less powerful than the ones coming from a AR15, because otherwise the meat would be destroyed rendering the animal useless. Am I correct in this assumption?
No, this is one of the things most frequently misunderstood about the AR-15 and most other guns that are called “assault rifles” in the media.
The AR-15 fires a round of only modest “power,” and for that reason it is actually illegal to use for hunting in some states, not because it is too powerful, but because it is insufficiently powerful to humanely dispatch an animal.
Correct. Hunting with AR-15s is banned in at least 10 states I believe due to its lack of ballistic punch on medium sized game.

Just the 1A only applies to the printing press.
Remarkable that one amendment can adapt with evolving society and not another, isn’t it? It’s almost like one of them is the bread and butter of a gian$ lo$$y organi$ation and g$n manu$acture$.
Is Mr Vocab just going to keep dodging this?

Here is Walz shooting skeet.
Wow one of those semiautomatic shotguns that have been around for about 125 years. Wonder if they will be on the banned list.
It’s not a semiautomatic gun, dummy. Stop being such an imbecile.
Name calling is so puerile, and even worse when driven by fundamental ignorance. The pictured firearm is most certainly and unequivocally a semiauto 12 gauge shotgun, most likely loaded with no. 8 birdshot if in fact he was using it for a shooting sport. Such shotguns are ubiquitous. It is unlikely, but not impossible, that any sort of “permit” would be required for the purchase of such a shotgun.
Why is this? It is a gun, is it not? How can there not be a permit required to purchase or own it?
If this is true - IF - then I find that very troubling indeed, and would say that it prima facia evidence that we are in desperate need of reasonable, common sense gun safety laws, if a permit or license is not required to own something like that.
Further, why would one possibly need 8 birdshots? If you cannot hit your target with one shot, then you shouldn't be in the woods hunting to begin with. No one needs 8 shots to kill a duck.
But, isn’t this the same type of gun Tim carried when he was in Afghanistan?
It does NOT look like the kind of gun I have ever seen army people carrying. That's why we can be sure it's not a semiautomatic.
“Army people”?

What else do you call people who are in the army, dummy? They’re people. In the army.
Therefore: army people.
Is English your second language, perhaps?

Really? There are 3 types of shotguns, break-action, pump-action and semiautomatic. It is not a break-action or pump-action so that leaves only one choice.
Your pedantic technical jargon is lost on normal people who DGAF about your gun nonsense. It’s not a semiautomatic gun, regardless of what gibberish you’re babbling about. If you have PROOF otherwise, then cite it. Otherwise STHU with your disruptive blathering.
Your insults are hilarious, though not as ridiculously hilarious as you openly displaying your complete ignorance of even the most basic firearms facts.
You are just so astoundingly stupid, I cannot help but throw you a bone out of pure pity for you:
Tim is holding a Beretta A400 Xcel, which is (say it with me):
- a SEMIAUTOMATIC SHOTGUN
it is NOT a semiautomatic, idiot!![]()
- it's partly made of wood
- it doesn't have a high capacity clip
- it doesn't have a telescopic lens aiming device
- it doesn't have a handle underneath the bottom
- it looks absolutely nothing like a gun a army person would carry
All your buzzwords and technical jargon mean nothing, ok? Can you get that through your stupid trumper head?
^^^THIS, 100%^^^
Walz’s gun is NOT a semiautomatic!
And there is no fixing stupid.
Ok smartie, then tell us all why we’re wrong.![]()
Ok, will keep it simple for you. A semiautomatic shotgun works a lot like an AR-15. Gas from the fired shell is captured and used to drive a bolt which then loads the next shell. One shot per trigger pull just like an AR-15. Less rounds than an AR-15 but same basic firing mechanism.
Except the gun Walz is holding looks absolutely NOTHING like an AR15. Which is why many of us here who are not gun fetishists like you seem to have a lot of trouble believing what you claim. It certainly doesn’t resemble what I would call a semiautomatic gun. Walz is holding what I presume is a typical hunting type rifle that legitimate hunters would use for dispatching deers or ducks or whatever. I admittedly know very little about guns, but I would presume and hypothesize that the projectile this type of hunting gun discharges is probably far less powerful than the ones coming from a AR15, because otherwise the meat would be destroyed rendering the animal useless. Am I correct in this assumption?
