The John Garand Marksmanship Program shows that the 2nd amendment was meant, so the common man could own high powered assault rifles.
Well today was rough...
- Thread starter CrowsofFritz
- Start date
But there are others was my point.

The CMP (civilian marksmanship program) was 120 years or so after the 2A. It was an interpretation of the 2A, no different than today’s debates. Only the authors of the 2A can tell you what was meant given it’s vague language.

I got up this morning and it occurred to me that those who defend the use and ownership of these types of weapons might be in denial.
I say this in the most kind way possible.
Constantly looking/pointing at any other thing possible as the problem/issue except for the actual problem.
I get it. Nobody wants to give up their toy/device/high powered rifle. But...
Nobody wants to take all of your guns away
The majority of Americans know that gun ownership has gone too far and stricter laws are required immediately
US sadly is alone in the western world with this scourge
Arguing this means you love your AR/high powered semi auto more than your kids/friends/neighbors
Doing nothing/making no change is not the answer. You might as well leave all flags at half mast forever.

Hey Ed. How's the weather over there in the UK?
Just rain though, right? Not like raining bullets or anything?
You spelled Chicago wrong but I'm glad it's just water falling on you. That's good. Good old United Kingdom is good for that.

True. They were referring to the National Guard.

It IS up for discussion. It's called an "amendment" for a reason.
Nothing is going to change. Ever.

It scares the shit out of me to think you may be right.
But... there was a weapons ban before and I think it was overturned in 1996? Needs to come back.
No there wasn't. And if there were this ain't 1996. Nothing will change and there's no point in talking about it. An overwhelming majority of Americans want gun rights reform but the people we elect into office aren't having it "for some reason" drrr.

ASSAULT weapons, yes. That helped. And crime went up when it expired. But this is a whole different world we're living in.

Or soap. There was a guy who purposely put soap in the bathtub. His wife slipped on it, hit her head and died!
But do they ban soap, of course not!
Now... when you think of soap on a rope, things get really nasty! But of course the NSA (National Soap Assoc) pays off a lot of politicians, so again, nothing gets done!
How can soap money be so... dirty?!!???
