When they described militias back then in old documents, anyone from 14-65 was ‘the militia’. It was just ‘people able to bear arms’. Even Annie Oakley was for it and women being trained as snipers. Most people of that time were encouraged to be armed to the teeth in case they needed to ride. Every living person in America was ‘the military’ if they weren’t pregnant or raising kids or something. They had what were basically revolvers back then, fucking grenade launchers, cannons, gun ships. You could own a gun ship but not a gun that fires a bullet any time you pull the trigger? I think not.
Here in CA, banning all kinds of guns and extended magazines hasn’t at all stopped criminals from using them. You see them all the time. Week or so ago even an automatic weapon on the freeway. All it’s done is kept them out of the hands of law abiding citizens that could legitimately use them to defend themselves from assholes that aren’t going to obey the law. For all the ‘gun nuts’ that have lots of guns, you don’t see them going out and committing seemingly any crimes with them. Colion Noir would be public enemy number one if that were true.
