A thread of 2A citations.
Most are 18th/19th century cites showing 2A to be an individual Right, but some are 20th century and some show the militia to be comprised of all citizens and some are oddballs.
Starting with: the militia isn't just American..
Another history tidbit on English militia practices of late 18th century & earlier.
1) Not just a "colonist" thing that militias existed.
2) Wasn't necessary for militia members to actively muster & train.
3) It was common to keep arms in homes.

"You don't shoot looters with machineguns"
1) You don't know your history.
2) People have been shot for far less.
3) Doesn't have to be machineguns.
4) Batons? Pfffft... Looting ranks up with home invasions.
You absolutely don't want or need this kind of weapon in that situation.
In a 10/7 situation yes yes yes.
In a Mohammed Merah situation yes yes yes.
You don't shoot looters with machine guns.
Allo the shopkeepers to band together to hire a private police that will actually fight. With batons.
And there can be a second line with guns if they fail to hold the line. But they don't go first.
No one will get looted.

In today's edition of: "Why would anybody need more than 10 rounds?"
El dueño de una tienda de anime en Francia compartió el video de seguridad que muestra cómo saquearon su negocio de 29 años durante las recientes protestas en París.
El comerciante explicó que no pudo hacer nada para detenerlos porque eran demasiados, lamentando que el trabajo de toda su vida quedó destruido en cuestión de minutos tras ver cómo vaciaban los estantes de mercancía y mangas.

Gun Control advocates ABSOLUTELY adopted the term "assault weapon" to mean scary black semiauto guns.
HUNDREDS of different weapons had been considered assault weapons prior to Gun Control groups adopting it.
I've got so many examples from bows and arrows up to nukes..
Gun Control advocates did not invent the phrase. Gun magazines as far back as the 60s were calling semi-auto assault rifles "assault weapons"

The fact that somebody used the term for scary black guns inside the gun industry doesn't mean the gun industry redefined the term to ONLY MEAN SCARY BLACK GUNS.
Didn't happen.
They also called SBG (Scary Black Guns) assault rifles, incorrectly, sometimes.

I can't count how many times I've had Europeans in the last month ask why the USA still has the 2nd Amendment.
"It's from the 1700's! Maybe it was needed then, but it's not needed now!"
And.. well.. They provided an example.
Poor folks, screwed over by the gov't. All Alone.
Si la police protège trop les gros centres urbains contre les looters, ils vont s'intéresser aux périphéries urbaines et attaquer les résidences privées.

Here we have a true Genius. With a capital "G".
Says the 1994 drop in homicides was due to the federal Assault Weapons Ban.
Even tho:
1) Semiauto rifles were never banned, only cosmetic features on them
2) Only 2% or so of murders ever involved scary black guns
"G"enius
because that period also had shitty economics and higher drug use, genius.
see the huge drop-off starting in 1994?
better economics and the Federal Assault Weapons ban

Tho that whole thread was started by another genius..
Who wants to tell him that the 30% of states with lowest murder rates every year is dominated by states with high gun ownership and few gun laws?
I don't think he knows this.

We did that once.
Sent our personal guns over to help protect a Euro nation.
They repaid us by throwing the guns in the ocean afterwards rather than send them back.
So what I'm saying is... Good luck with that.
How fast can America get guns into the hands of the righteous Europeans? Dead serious question. Screw their governments.
