Toad, a troll is not something to be admired, pitied maybe, contemptible certainly, but definitely not admired.

Truth or troll lets find out. Tell me what this case is all about and what question/s does the SC ask in conjunction with this case. Toad dosnt seem to know. He is just spewing his oppinion. Facts say otherwise. I've shown all of you the law if you cant accept it to bad.

Good Day sir,


I'd bet you have not.

For example, I don't think you have read this information about the case; at least your posts indicate you either haven't read it or don't understand it.


Quote
The Justices chose to write out for themselves the constitutional question they will undertake to answer in Heller. Both sides had urged the Court to hear the city’s case, but they had disagreed over how to frame the Second Amendment issue.

Here is the way the Court phrased the granted issue:

“Whether the following provisions — D.C. Code secs. 7-2502.02(a)(4), 22-4504(a), and 7-2507.02 — violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes?”



I suggest you study on that a while with particular attention to just what constitutional question the SC has chosen to address. Hint: it is NOT the definition of militia.

bingie.. you did ask me a question..  do I think that an unorganized militia will ever be needed?    It happens all the time.

The woman who shot that church shooter was a part of the militia.    Those Korean guys who stood guard over their property in the rodney king riots were part of the militia...   those people who chased away the looters after katrina were part of the unorganized militia.

You are asking me if it is possible that any American will ever need a gun to defend against tyranny..   I am telling you that it not only is possible but that it happens about 1.5 million times a year.

Purchased. They were a commodity, sold by other Africans.

This suggests that the question of "regulated militias" having the right to bear arms is a foregone conclusion. The question to be decided by the SC is rather on the rights of individuals not in a "regulated militia". This does nothing but bolster the point that the 2nd is the most ambiguous and contestable of all of the first 10. AND it points out the fact that the least questionable part of the 2nd is its connection to "regulated militias".

I thought I settled this thread 8 pages ago. When will you all learn to listen to me?

"A well-schooled electorate, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and read Books, shall not be infringed".

So, only members of the electorate would have the right to keep and read books, correct?

That seems to be the implication. You probably wouldn't have any trouble passing laws limiting books to people who did not own land or who weren't white males... if this were still the 18th century.

And since it's not the 18th century, books and guns for all.

Anything more abrasive than a sponge seems to skin you raw. You're surrounded by Arlos. Good luck with that. :D

Some people just don't get it ;)
