"And such rifled muskets that fly through the skies and spew forth their ammunition with great speed and ferocity, as well as the aero-planes upon which yon muskets rest."
it'd be fucking awesome to be a privateer right now with cunt face Iran trying to start shit out in the Persian Gulf, think of all the fucking oil you could seize for loot while also performing a humanitarian service to all of civilization
Except for the sailing part. Have you ever been aboard one of these? Seen the lack of safety equipment they had? Try walking a spar, when you need to. You're travelling 80 feet (or more) left to right and maybe over 100 up and down, just standing still. Fall and it's hundreds of feet down if you land in the trough between large waves. No way can the ship turn around and pick you pack up.
They went through sailors. That's why the Brits imposed naval impressment. Of course if you were the owner or the Captain you didn't have to do that stuff, but you probably came up through the ranks. The pegleg isn't just a fable.
Odd how they seem to think it only means muskets. These are the people who always tell to educate ourselves and "maybe read a book". Shit, all you have to do is listen to the national anthem, "the bombs bursting in air." What the fuck do they think that was?
Our side used rifles more than muskets. Cartridges, Magazines. An inventor had a faster repeating rifle he wanted to sell to our troops, but he was a horrible entrepreneur. If the 20 men he trained and equipped killed 20x as many redcoats as the 20 fighting next to them with standard equipment, he wanted 20x the price for his gun.
Congress never gave him a trial. I don't think he ever made many, either. Congress knew all about it though, and didn't restrict it in the 2A. Commulibs need to get edumacated, like via woodchipper
Plus, they're dumb enough to argue that the 2nd only applies to muskets, but freedom of speech definitely applies to radio, TV, internet, etc. One or the other, people.
I was recently reading a book by Wayne LaPierre (like him or not) called Essential Second Amend. Guide. He quoted a famous liberal (Michael Kinsley) who said that he was baffled by how liberals had overwhelmed the 1A by blowing it as far out of proportion as they possibly could and yet they had not convoluted the 2A in the same way. He wanted to know why would people take something so narrowly defined (1A) and blow it all out of proportion but then take something broadly defined like the (2A) and allow it remain precisely what it says it is.
This is how we know we are dealing with complete shitheads when dealing with liberals. They are not smart intellectuals with good intentions as so many like to say. They are evil scum who want the laws rewritten to serve their dire purposes.
Arms is actually very specific. The other possibility is artillery. The distinction is arms are designed to be carried and operated by one person, and the target is one person rather than materiel. This distinction gets blurred because very quickly ship owners were allowed cannons.
So rpgs and tanks could be argued to be off limits for us. Select fire, not so much.
"Even Nukes, don't worry what that means."
"And such rifled muskets that fly through the skies and spew forth their ammunition with great speed and ferocity, as well as the aero-planes upon which yon muskets rest."
And such metal leviathans as travel the dark depths and reap explosive havoc from below the crest of the bounding mane.
Also everyone can own a machine that goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT at 3900 rounds per minute.
BRRRRRRRRRRT intensifies
"arms" is pretty vague and should cover just about anything, honestly. We are being fucked
I want a fucking warship, imagine being a privateer during wartime it would be so cool.
just blast this all day on the 7 seas
it'd be fucking awesome to be a privateer right now with cunt face Iran trying to start shit out in the Persian Gulf, think of all the fucking oil you could seize for loot while also performing a humanitarian service to all of civilization
Tbf their navy is such a joke that you could probably break out old ironsides and raid their coastal ports before they even did anything
That's nice, but I prefer this.

Yeah except for the war part.
Agreed

Pretty soon they'll outlaw the right to have limbs and start giving bears weapons, as in "the right to arm bears".

Where do you see that usage / abbreviation in the colonial era?
Unlimited caliber and explosive yield
