The militia [View all] discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 OP

That's what I was just wondering rl6214 Jul 2013 #76
Skewed poll ExCop-LawStudent Jul 2013 #3
I'm asking mostly... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #7
Except ExCop-LawStudent Jul 2013 #9
That would be: The Second Amendment exists solely as a restriction on the federal government Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #10
McDonald applies incorporation discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #15
After a brief fresher, point granted, and my prior post rescinded. Thank you for the education. nt Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #16
Your prior post... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #20
Which is a moot point ExCop-LawStudent Jul 2013 #94
Quite true discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #11
OK ExCop-LawStudent Jul 2013 #58
SCOTUS has also ruled that corporations are people ..... rdharma Jul 2013 #12
Which, for the purpose of law ExCop-LawStudent Jul 2013 #54
...and made a fairly good decision on gay marriage. Eleanors38 Jul 2013 #90
Yes, SCOTUS has so ruled. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #103
That's why the teabaggers need to be removed from the SCOTUS! rdharma Jul 2013 #105
It is an individual right, but the poll goes to the militia responsibility of the government. Eleanors38 Jul 2013 #89
That first option is interesting. rrneck Jul 2013 #8
With no limits, eh? nt rdharma Jul 2013 #13
Be careful what you wish for. Reinterpretation doesn't mean "How I want it." :) n/t Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #14
With Roberts, Thomas, Scalia, Alito, and Kennedy ...... rdharma Jul 2013 #17
Like I said. Be careful what you wish for. Try to reinterpret at your own risk. nt Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #18
It could happen. rrneck Jul 2013 #24
I favor leaving the Second as it is discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #70
Show me where women are defined as part of the unorganized militia. rdharma Jul 2013 #19
By the thinking of the Founders... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #21
Fair enough. I agree. rdharma Jul 2013 #23
Well, Grace Hopper... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #34
Not part of the "militia" rdharma Jul 2013 #60
Might want to check those articles I linked earlier. You'll find out how often you're wrong. :) Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #61
No. I think I'll let you tell me about the standing/active duty professional military........ rdharma Jul 2013 #62
10 USC § 311 again: Inclusive of active military. Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #64
Wrong! Direct quote from 10 USC § 311 rdharma Jul 2013 #65
"Are you a member of the National Guard or the Naval militia? No? Unorganized militia." Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #67
Wrong, wrong, wrong, ...... rdharma Jul 2013 #69
Wrong, wrong, wrong, ...... Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #71
Keep diggin'! rdharma Jul 2013 #72
Yup. No answer, no response of note? Checkmate. Enjoy your day, kid. Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #73
You tipped your king, eh! rdharma Jul 2013 #74
Agreed discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #66
10 USC § 311 supplemented by 32 USC § 313 Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #22
No, not ALL under age 64......... rdharma Jul 2013 #27
No, because he's 64. And I never said "All", either; just that it is allowed. n/t Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #28
Also, 32 USC § 323 supplementing USC § 311 and Title 10 as a whole. n/t Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #25
Would Karl Rove be considered part of the militia? rdharma Jul 2013 #29
No to either of the above. n/t Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #31
I'd vote no if asked. discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #37
Several states ExCop-LawStudent Jul 2013 #59
the current militia is out there letting its kids kill each other with guns nt msongs Jul 2013 #26
And many of them are under age 17. nt rdharma Jul 2013 #30
Good thing laws stop them from owning guns. Otherwise, they'd kill someo... Oh. Nevermind. n/t Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #33
Good thing we don't have laws in place that could stop or make it harder for them to acquire guns. rdharma Jul 2013 #35
Good thing we already have 271 federal laws in place to do just that. Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #36
Of which you are one, acording to some folks around here. oneshooter Jul 2013 #57
Stop letting kids kill other kids with -anything-. There's a thought. n/t Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #32
Heck! He looked over 18 to me! rdharma Jul 2013 #38
And at no point is "The gun" at fault in that scenario. Thank you for pointing that out. n/t Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #40
Who said it was? rdharma Jul 2013 #41
But you're wrong. That's the point. Your entire premise, and execution of analogy, are incorrect. Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #44

Ever heard the term... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #39
You talkin' to me? rdharma Jul 2013 #43
Actually, he was talking to me since non-gun-related deaths are not an issue for the Controllers. nt Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #45
Sorry! I didn't mean to induce a "gun lover sad"! nt rdharma Jul 2013 #47
I'm always sad for the deaths of children, regardless of cause. Aren't you? Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #51
Actually... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #46
But did you like the Travis Bickle vid clip? nt rdharma Jul 2013 #48
Whoops! Wrong post. Sorry! Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #49
Don't worry! I won't hold your keyboard responsible! nt rdharma Jul 2013 #52
Nope, just good old fashioned clicking the wrong reply button. Only human. :P Decoy of Fenris Jul 2013 #53
Sure discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #50

But how effective? I guess it depends on how its organized /regulated. Nt jmg257 Jul 2013 #93

perhaps a better phrasing is... discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2013 #85
