A thought on a way to protect our rights.

[tombogan03884]

Cool setup, but I don't think any size mag should be banned, whats the difference between a 30 rd and a 20 rd mag.  Two seconds for reload.

Also, I'd I'm think super long term here, three hundred years from now who's to say we'll be using fire arms?  Some thing more advanced or different might be the norm.  I think the reason the fathers left this amendment vague was to protect us from this event.

In my personal view I think the civilian population should be allowed to own weapons that are at least on par with that of the highest grade law enforcement.  As the fathers sad, its to protect us from an overbearing government, and foreign invasion.

I agree entirely with one catch. In the absence of bitch slapping the Gov., what are people going to do with mortars and artillery. There's no where around here to shoot ONE thousand yards, never mind the 6,000 + for that stuff, so it would work out that the Gov would retain a monopoly on heavier weapons just due to lack of interest. There would be maybe 3 millionaires in the country  who would shoot at the Salt Flats once a year or something and that would be it.
Not saying you are wrong, just saying it would only be exercised up to a point.

How about if we just use this one:

"a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

No infringement at all!

To many lawyers weaseling it, We need to back it up with some specific stuff that they can not weasel word around.

One revision, then.


1. There shall be no limiting or banning of any firearms
2.  There shall be no limiting or banning  of ammunition or components
3.  There shalll be no restrictions on the manner of carrying firearms

The best way to protect gun rights is thru education.  Most people that "hate" guns have no exp with them or thier exp is with them is from a "victim"  stand point.   Legal gun owners are our own worst enemys.   One idiot playing rambo will counter thousands of safe gun owners.

TAB I would completely agree with you if the emotion could be removed from the issue.  The problem becomes that the Brady Bunch and their unindicted co-conspirators in the gummint are not interested in having this issue clouded with facts.

I hate to break it too you, but both sides of gun rights do that.

Both sides play to fears and emotions.

 TAB is correct in the long term, but we need to stop the attack on us now. We are currently in the same position as the Jews when Hitler came to power, we are the scape goat for the actions of the criminals the dims lack guts to go after, they don't want to offend the people who WILL vote for the givers of welfare.
 Here's what I sent to my States delegation.

Since the firearms industry nation wide is one of the most stable currently I hope you will support the addition of the following riders to the "stimulus "package being pushed through the legislative process.
1. There shall be no limiting or banning of any firearms
2.  There shall be no limiting or banning  of ammunition or components
3.  There shall be no restrictions on the manner of carrying firearms
This is a 1 BILLION dollar per year industry that with small exceptions like our own Thompson Center Arms, needs no bail out and contributes thousands of jobs to the nations economy.
Thank you.

If nothing else, to be stockpiled solely for the purpose of maintaining the well armed militia.
