Comparing Modern Day Interpretation of the First to the Second Amendment

Found in The Illinoize, an email publication competing with Capitol Fax at $99 per year with several days free:

“They keep talking about weapons of war. Flintlocks were once weapons of war. 

Percussion cap rifles were once weapons of war.

“Bolt action rifles are still used by today’s military and have been ever since the times of the Civil War,” [former gun rights lobbyist Todd Vandermyde] said.

“If [they] want to apply that standard, then the First Amendment doesn’t apply to the internet, TV or radio. Rights are rights.

“The First Amendment can apply to modern times, so does the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court has expressly said [the Second Amendment] applies to modern firearms.”

  1. Or, we could go along with King Cheeto and just suspend that pesky constitution.

  2. BIG time crime from 21 and 18 year olds.

    Smaller crimes have exploded in Chiraq.

    There were 18,400 vehicle thefts there in first 11 months of 2022.

    This was double the amount in each of the previous 3 years.

    So, for 2022, there were 55 thefts average per day, 2.3 per hour.

  3. Well it appears Dementia Joe has already done so.

    Vax mandates
    Student loan debt
    Eviction moratorium

    He’s never believed the constitution existed.

    Fortunately the Supreme Court shot two of them down and will most likely shoot down the Student Loan fiasco.

  4. If you interpret the Second Amendment “strictly” it clearly applies to “militias”.

    Individual gun rights were only protected so people could bring their guns to the village green in case of war, or civil unrest (read, “slave rebellions”).

    And those guns were muskets.

    I have no doubt that if the Founders were alive today and saw what modern weapons could do, they would not have included the Second Amendment.

    You can own as many muskets as you want.

  5. LOL..Science will be the soy boy begging for protection when the crap hits the fan. Go live in Highland Park. Apparently the phrase shall not be infringed doesn’t compute with you. Another liberal fool. Why didn’t you go with the Highland Park jews to DC to make your point?

  6. The so-called ‘militia clause’ of the Second Amendment is a subordinate clause.

    It helps explain and provide context for the main ‘…shall not be infringed’ clause, but imposes no conditions upon it.

    Anyone who has bothered to do the slightest bit of research into our Founding Fathers would know that most of them were strongly in favor of private gun ownership, and not just for reasons of militia service.

    Citizens back then owned more than just muskets.

    Contrary to what our senile president has often stated, some private citizens owned mortars and cannon.

    Karens who wanted to control everyone else’s life weren’t nearly as common as they are today.

  7. You can still buy cannons today.

    Had a neighbor who dealt in antiques out of her barn, and collectible weapons were a sideline.

    She usually had about a dozen cannons on hand at any given time.

  8. @Beakerboy science guy, stay in your lane, we might save you one day when you get thumped at the bakery.

  9. I’ll grant you that you can own a canon.

    Be sure it is a smooth bore mussel loading and only fires solid shot iron balls.

  10. LOL….Iron balls. Something Monk/Gilligan and Science don’t possess. I love liberal soy boys. One smokes dope.

  11. Trump got chumped and his rotten daughter married a biped rat.

    You can bow to Judea all you want but if you cross them on the issues they care about (e.g., abortion, deChristianizing of the USA, federal reserve currency control, destruction of Russia and Iran and immigration), all your obeisance will avail you nothing.

  12. Because, people like you are stupid ans smug.

    Prepare for a comeuppance.

    Oh yes, it’s coming.

  13. The fact that there are clearly anti-Semitic posts that are still up tonight is startling.
