It mentions the specific purpose of ‘militia’. We have Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Army reserves, National Guard, multiple law enforcement agencies, possibly the largest nuclear stockpile in the world, not to mention conventional weapons of deadly accuracy, etc. etc. I think we might want to focus on the right to own ‘hunting’ weapons.
Yet this one deranged kid was capable of planning and killing 28 people. If you think you can run faster than a bullet…be my guest. But, rushing a shooter and getting yourself killed leaves those kids you claim to be trying to protect completely defenseless and on their own.
What was used a 12-gauge Savage-Springfield 67H pump-action shotgun also Hi-point 995Carbine 9mm carbine with 10-round magazines none of these weapons were on the ban list. 10-round magazines were never on the ban list.
But none of them are militia.It mentions the specific purpose of ‘militia’.

Plus SCOTUS has already confirmed numerous times that people have the right to own weapons for self defense against the government. I’m sure if our government ever invades we’ll be very grateful to the gun owners who draw their fire away from us.Ok, you’re not reading the post obviously. It’s not “outrunning a bullet” it’s covering a short distance when someone has to reload, which happens much more often with a firearm that is not semi-automatic and packing a clip with 30 rounds of ammo, but whatever
Militia, military…any citizen, meeting requirements, can join our modern day militia.But none of them are militia.
Indeed, and a delusional fantasy of the first order to even entertain the notion that if the federal government suddenly employed its full military might to kill us all that undisciplined, unorganized gun enthusiasts with their private stockpiles could do anything to in any way prevent it!Militia, military…any citizen, meeting requirements, can join our modern day militia.
While we have rights, we also have responsibilities. I propose controls, not bans.
SCOTUS is a part of the government. Also, it seems paranoid to think our government would ‘invade’ us, in my opinion.
Actually, according to SCOTUS, every abled bodied male is already a member of the milita.Militia, military…any citizen, meeting requirements, can join our modern day militia.

Agreed. You are not given an option to “not join”.
No, the Swiss have mandatory conscription - with state issued guns and ammunition. Every adult is required to attend military training and regular on-duty periods. Their militia is much more like our reservist program.
What are you posting about?Indeed, and a delusional fantasy of the first order to even entertain the notion that if the federal government suddenly employed its full military might to kill us all that undisciplined, unorganized gun enthusiasts with their private stockpiles could do anything to in any way prevent it!
Seconds?As an observation, three adults can run 10 feet or so in a matter of a couple of seconds, and yes, that’s a good deal faster than a deranged, non-professional kid could possibly reload a shotgun, and much much faster than he could hope to shoot all three of them.
Then why are you doing it?Yeah that’s where I was going with that post
Thank you.
Wasn’t that the point of the Gun Free School Zone act? Leave the children defenseless and on their own with possibly an unarmed teacher? It certainly hasn’t stopped any school shooters and in fact seems to have encouraged them.
Every deer rifle I have ever seen is semi-automatic. Virtually every pistol nowadays is semi-automatic. One can replace a 5 or 10 round clip in a couple of seconds.Ok, you’re not reading the post obviously.

Um, you must not have read what the other poster said about our government “invading us”, you know, the impending bloody tyranny that Obama and our communist would-be oppressors are about to embark uponWhat are you posting about?
The federal government established the militia and maintains that law to this day. How do you think the selective service registration is legal and how the draft works?
Just so you know most guns carry more than one bullet or shell. Pump shotguns are easy to reload with one in the chamber. Many rifles can also be reloaded with one in the chamber. So unless you have your bullet proof vest (illegal in some states) or can readily identify the weapon (doubtful with you use of the work “clip”), you may want to dial back your assumed abilities to run faster than the speed of sound.Ok, you’re not reading the post obviously.

It takes more than that to insert rounds into it though, especially for an untrained crazy kid…you know, about the same time it takes for an able person to run 10 feet or so.
