Why not a pump? I have a Remington 800, the cheaper one not the fancy one.

Seems to me the intent of the Reconstruction Amendments was to give all persons the rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

Originalism is an interpretive tool tied to text and history. Text and history do not change with the living of our lives. "Living" constitutionalism is the exemplar of "I know it when I see it." IOW, I'll just make it up as I go along. At least, originalism is tied to some kind of principle and it cuts both ways.

... they weren't a personality or lifestyle?

No, they just were. It just wasn't a topic of conversation other than safety and proper use.

At 6 I received my first Red Rider. At 10 my first shotgun, a 410. At 12 a 20 gauge. At 15 my friend rode behind me on my Yamaha 80 with my 20 gauge hung over his shoulder. No one ever said a word. Later, I drove around town with that shot gun and a Marlin 30-30 hanging on the gun rack of my truck. No one ever said a word. Guns just exist in my life. The only place they are a topic of discussion for me is here.

I'm at a loss to describe my childhood Second Amendment experience. It did not exist. There were guns around us but it wasn't big deal. It just was. We handled and shot guns. It was nothing. No one gave it second thought.

gtbritishskull, hope I typed that right.

Your general take that the Second Amendment originally applied to the feds is correct. However the text of the Reconstruction Amendments changed that. It took court precedent a while to come to grips, incorporation, with that change. You don't have to be and originalist, interpretive, it took a while, to conclude text changes s**t.

Another guffaw from an ignorant twit that rattles of "show me in the Constitution" this or that can or can't ... A twit that doesn't comprehend the Constitution is written to formulate a functioning government not to formulate governance. That doesn't understand that American governance it informed by the history and traditions of English common law we brought with us. That the lack of comprehension and understanding displayed reveals the twit has never read the text of Article III, that grants judicial power of "precedent" nor English common law governance of court precedence.

BTW, I generally agree with you about the scope of "arms" encompassed by the Second Amendment. We may diverge at concepts of "dangerous and unusual," which covers the idiots bringing up cannons, missiles and nukes. See also "dangerous persons" and "sensitive places."

I've never voted for politician Cornyn because I don't vote for former judges for political office. But I will in this primary because Paxton is beyond the pale.

It is concerning that political appointees of the Buffoon are willing to engage in revenge prosecutions.

More concerning to me is there are front line DOJ lawyers willing to advance this s**t.

I'd guess before June.

Another Buffoon DOJ crash and burn in the waiting. It's coming.

SPLC not disclosing it's means and methods of f*****g over racists is a fraud upon donor's that wanted to f**k over racists? I'm sure the donors are devastated to learn this insignificant information.

Frickin' journalists' and their editors. Just say what happened and avoid the bs.

No, the judge did not allow Comey to bring her suit. She done done that and it don't take a judge to do it. What happened is the court denied the government's motion to dismiss. A routine happening that means the case continues forward as would have happened without the motion to dismiss.

That and just another, becoming routine, Buffoon DOJ crash and burn. Read the article for their dumba**ery.

This not some grand victory. It's a procedural ruling that holds the status quo while the court decides the merits.

I'm guessing about 6-8 weeks before this one is also dismissed.

Pretend otherwise, if you wish, but this person is a citizen. Until a court revokes the fraudulently obtained citizenship this person is and remains a citizen.

Thanks Laura, some are too obtuse to be tolerated.

"FBI Director Patel Sues the Atlantic Magazine for Defamation"

Good luck with that.

Jesus F****** Christ, it is appalling how stupid some can be.

The point of this thread is how desensitized people have become.

The point of my post was to mock, ridicule and in any way possible make fun of sensitives, such as you, offended by irreverent jokes about politicians on a TV show that has been doing exactly that for fifty f****** years.

Now, what other stupid you want to be slapped about?

TACO Tuesday. The Buffoon caves again.

Don't get me wrong. Anything that slows, stops or interferes with the Buffoon throwing of billions of dollars at dirt in Iran in OK with me.

It's just the theater is so f****** comical. Perhaps SNL should do a skit.

Seriously? An SNL audience laughed at an innocuous joke about a politician "attending the theater?"

Well f*** me. Fifty years on and I never thought that would happen.

I mean g** d***, when did SNL become so irreverent?

Objective truth? Are you s******g me. The objective truth is the Buffoon said he has air superiority over Iran. Then an F15 and an A10 are downed and two helicopters hit by Iran air defense. So what's the objective truth, what you see or what it says?

Oh, and what's flying out to where "the pilot was" gonna do? Nothing. Why search on foot? That's where the person is, dummy. A ground operation is what extracted this person.

I'm thrilled this soldier was rescued. Do I believe the soaring rhetoric of the Buffoon administration about it, nope. I'll wait for the future anonymous reports of the persons actually involved.
