When the Founders wrote the Second Amendment, the largest guns they had were muskets. The modern bullet had not yet been invented. They could only shoot one bullet at a time. Today’s assault weapon would be like the power of a cannon to them. The Second Amendment is NOT a legitimate reason not to ban assault weapons. Ban them now.

You silly pandering blowhard, people were allowed to own ships with a full complement of cannons. The "modern bullet" is not magic. And repeating weapons also existed. At least *try* not to be utterly ignorant.

The framers wanted the people to have possession of all the weapons of war so they could be called up to defeat tyrants, both foreign and domestic.

I reject your premise. But it doesn’t change what 2a says regardless. Change the amendment if you think the people will agree. They won’t however because giving up our guns would be stupid

The weapons were exactly equal to the oppressive governments weapons that we booted the hell out! Speaking of the constitution, tell me honey bunny, where in the constitution does it give the government the power to limit our rights.

Fully Automatic weapons are already banned. Next!

You’ve used too many drugs.

This is one of the main problems when the left starts talking about guns. They don't know what their talking about. They get the guns wrong, the history wrong, the 2nd meaning wrong. If you come loaded for an argument, at least have you facts right.

Instead of using the internet to express your first amendment right, I need you to hand write your tweet, with a quill, on paper. Then please have a messenger, on horseback, hand deliver it to my house. After that, I can proceed to tell you how absolutely stupid you are.

I don’t think you’re right and it shows your lack of gun knowledge. I cannon only shoots one big ball like a giant musket and it takes even longer and multiple med to reload. This shows how dumb you are and why no one should listen to you.

Your unwavering stupidity is astounding.
