        Laws need to change. People don’t have liberty for mass weaponry.

        “Well regulated” should mean exactly that. Strict limits and very traceable.

        You clearly don’t like the idea. So, Fuck off and just give “thoughts & prayers” to the next batch of murdered people.

        I’m done with a gun nut supporter.

          People don’t have liberty for mass weaponry.

          That is correct; you will not be able to get a tax stamp for an air-to-ground missile, or a laser guided 500# bomb; those are mass weaponry. A rifle or a handgun are not mass weaponry; they aren’t even crew-served weaponry.

          “Well-regulated” means TRAINED. That was what it meant when the constitution was written, because the militia–which was all able-bodied men–were expected to muster when called up, and were legally obligated to provide their own arms suitable for military use, and to train on their own. The writers of the constitution explicitly intended for the individual citizens to be armed, and to train. And do you know how you train?

          …Beuller?

          And you are correct; I do not support any attempts to cut any civil rights, because that’s how the majority gets away with tyranny against the minority. Ask black people, gay people, or women that have been victims of domestic violence just how much the cops have done to protect them.

            Don’t be obtuse. You know I meant large amounts of guns. Not weapons of mass destruction.

            Well regulated = well managed, no matter when it’s written. That includes laws limiting ownership.

              Well regulated = well managed

              Categorically false. The phrase had a different meaning at the time that it was penned. Words and phrases change and evolve in meaning. You’re simply wrong about this, and about your other arguments.
