But they are not now ...so the guns should be banned. Simple
No matter what the statistics say, Americans are taxed taxed taxed. overt taxes covert taxes.
If you buy a big mac, fries, and coke you pay the taxes that Mickey Ds pays, you pay the taxes Coca-Cola pays, you pay the taxes the truckers pay, the potato farmers, the cattle farmer...not Mitt Romney...YOU!!!
And a ton of that cash goes to policing the world. Military Spending.
In the 1950s, Dad went to work 15 minutes away, Mom raised the kids.
In the Depression, we were broke. Stressful times. It is like a depression now, but they've learned how to manage it better, we work all day, get less.
All the Fox News Flagwavers think they are waving that flag for us, but they're really cheering on big business and big military. If you think of the United States as a UNION shop, our stewards are not doing a very good job. Americans are stressed because that's the way it's designed to be. If you drink fifteen cups of coffee a day, eventually you're going to shoot somebody.
but you do need sources for things you say.

a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
Sorry. But the unorganized militia are those eligible for induction. They do not serve any military function other than to stand ready for induction should their services be required. They are not expected to maintain arms, nor are they expected rise in revolt against the government when it passes a Healthcare bill or a minimum wage bill. The second amendment grants the right to bear arms because inductees into the regulated militia were expected to supply their own arms. This is clearly not the case today. We don't want ordinary civilians to have the armament of soldiers laying around in their basements and living rooms. The second amendment is an antiquated vestige of the days of blunderbusses, muskets and flintlocks.
Nothing wrong with the sport of hunting and target shooting, but carrying weapons around in the marketplace (whether they're in view or carried furtively) is stupid, hazardous and a danger to the public heath. Using a military style weapon as a crutch is kina stupid too ->

nice tangents.... can you ever stay on point?
the constitution is still law. just because you think a part is irrelevant doesnt change that.
no one said they were expected to maintain arms... but can
What's the point of carrying a gun unless you want to kill somebody.
I must admit that if Uncle Jed didn't carry heat, he never would have found that bubblin' crude......(oil, that is)
There are laws on the books that say you have to have somebody walking in front of your car fifty feet waving a lantern at night.
If some Chicago street gang calls themselves Militia, can they kill their enemies? Plenty of people kill somebody and get off on a technicality. That's the Law.
Anyway, it was legal for the US Military to kill 100,000 Iraqi civilians, but that doesn't make it right. Or good.
Linda, you and your buds have every right to walk around with guns, but if you ever accidently shoot somebody, you're gonna be introduced to a whole lotta laws. If you want to join a Militia, join up and go to Afghanistan. I think you know all this Militia talk is bullshit.
I am in the militia. every person between the ages of 17 and 45. so you dont like laws so we can take them away without going through the proper procedures? and why cant you people stay on topic
"If some Chicago street gang calls themselves Militia, can they kill their enemies? Plenty of people kill somebody and get off on a technicality. That's the Law."
