Bump stock SCOTUS

[DeluxAuto]

The writers of the Constitution said "right to bear arms" instead of "right to bear muskets" for a very obvious reason. The term arms covers any kind of weapon imaginable.

The Founding Fathers had no fucking idea that AKs would massacre an entire classroom. Fuck.

Sure...the killing of large numbers of people, including innocent adults and children, was a concept completely outside their experience and imagination.

It reads “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Are you in a well regulated Militia?

Do you think I should be able to own a tank?

Gun nuts hate it when the “well regulated militia” part is mentioned.

But maybe that’s why they like playing dress up at civil war reenactments. Pretending to be soldiers counts, doesn’t it??

Including machine guns, shoulder launched rockets, cruise missles?

Yes. At the time of the writing of the Constitution, private ownership of warships that could bombard/obliterate coastal towns/cities was a thing.

Oh, you were at the kegger too. Cool!

I'm pretty sure, if you have enough coin and can outfit a ship, you could still do that today. If I'm wrong show me the law.

Only the worst president in history would ban bump stocks.

Does this also apply to immigration and separation of church and state? Written at the same time and all.

Never learned how to diagram a sentence I see.

President are NOT absolute Monarchs. They don't make law, they are chartered with enforcing the laws passed by congress. And that's exactly what these, and other, law suits are about. The administrative branch trying to make law on the fly without any underlying congressional law to support their actions.

Tobacco is still easily available

Can’t wait to get my hands on a space laser!

Also, that pezzheaddazzler entity is simply another spreadsheet alt to be ignored

I can't afford to waste ammo that fast.

Worse he doesn't understand that he either is, or was at some point, a member of the militia.

It's not a voluntary commitment.
