This Item Only Applies To Amendments Of: Fill & Download for Free

How do I respond to someone who argues the second amendment only applies to muskets?You can explain the truth to them as we have been doing for decades and they’ll just keep changing their arguments while pretending not to hear you.So the best bet today is to simply let the Supreme Court argue for you based on 3 recent decisions (last 10 years).The always false arguments about the meaning of the 2nd Amendment have been demolished by a number of cases where SCOTUS has ruled definitively:District of Columbia v. HellerMcDonald v. City of ChicagoCaetano V. MassachusettsSome of the key issues decided against those dishonest arguments of the gun control bunch include:Individual right of each American (there really aren’t any ‘collective rights’)The right exists “Unconnected with service in a militia”Keep and Bear really does mean: OWN and CARRYArms means moderns firearms, and includes “all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding”Like all fundamental rights it’s been incorporated as “fully applicable to the States”The right includes the means to exercise it, such as access to ammunition.If you need the citations just download these three decisions and search for the items above.We were 100% right all along.Gun control advocates were 100% wrong all along.

No. The First Amendment applies to the U.S. government and (via the 14th Amendment) the governments of the states. Freedom of speech is a concept, believed by many to be a natural right. Although it seems like 80% of people get these two items confused, they are not synonymous.The First Amendment was added to the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution to protect the people from the government. The First Amendment states:“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”The First Amendment is written with the assumption that all people (well, at the time, white male property owners) naturally have the right to their own conscience. They have the natural right to choose their own belief system and to practice the rites of that belief system. They have the natural right to express themselves. They have the natural right to challenge their government. And, in order to ensure all of this is possible, there must be a free press.All the First Amendment does is tell the government, you can’t infringe on those natural rights. It does not grant those rights to the people, because you can’t grant a natural right.“Natural rights are those that are not dependent on the laws or customs of any particular culture or government, and therefore universal and inalienable (i.e., rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws).”So, to address what I think you are trying to ask - Does the First Amendment apply only to the U.S. Government?Yes, although the 14th Amendment via due process extends it to the state governments, too. The First Amendment exists to restrict the actions of the government of the United States. Private entities and foreign governments are not constrained by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.However, if a culture decides that free speech is a natural right and so important that the government must be explicitly directed not to abridge that right, then private entities should think long and hard before abridging the free speech of others. For a culture to say something is valuable and then to treat it as if it isn’t valuable is hypocrisy.

Absolutely not.What makes 'assault weapons' more dangerous than a 1906 Winchester semi automatic rifle? Exactly. Biden has announced plans to skirt Congress and have the ATF redefine all semi automatic weapons to NFA items.The high court in Colorado identified that the ATF has the ability to determine that Bump Stocks are NFA items, despite these not meeting any definitions in the NFA.Joe Biden had an argument with a Detroit Auto worker about outlawing AR16s, because they're illegal machine guns.Biden's campaign asserts that the 2nd amendment only applies to hunting.I oppose the NFA and the Hughes amendment. I oppose the supreme court ruling that the 2nd amendment only applies to the Army or that it was written to protect ONLY the right to hunt.The only semi automatic that I own is grandpa's 22, but I feel that Biden would attempt to ban it.
