Yep. That is true as well. He wants to limit us all to 10 rounds.

I guess 10 rounds or less is not a standard capacity magazine


Correct.
Interesting that you feel a magazine of 10 rounds or less isn't a standard magazine.

The standard mag on my M14 rifle is 20/25

The standard mag on my AK rifle is 30/75/100

The standard mag on my G21 pistol is 13

Ya hear about the Joe Lieberman Steak Knives? They can only be used by sticking them in ones back.

You are correct, 1986. I didn't check my facts there, and since I don't own any of the weapons in question, it doesn't apply to me, but I will admit my error.

I never said more than 10 rounds was not standard for some weapons.

You said that 10 rounds or less was NOT a standard magazine. It is your statement that was incorrect. Obviously 10 rounds or less IS a standard magazine for some weapons.

The statement that Obama wants a ban on standard magazine capacities is misleading and not completely factual. He does not support a ban on standard magazines of 10 rounds or less.

That does nothing for the guns that have larger magazines.

Why would you believe that it was the intention of the 2nd Amendment to permit guns only for hunting? It doesn't say that at all.

The whole Bill of Rights is designed to limit the powers of the government to control the activities of citizens. Clearly the 2nd Amendment is designed to allow the citizens to protect their lives and freedom, even against the government should it ever become necessary, and, as such, the amendment cannot be interpreted as allowing the banning of effective guns or effective ammunitions.

It does make the statement that "Obama wants to ban all guns" false.

He certainly wants to ban any guns that might be covered by our Constitutional gun rights.

The purpose of our constitutional gun rights is not "sporting use". The point is to have guns for use in militias and for self-defense.

Oh? really? So then you think the Bush adminsistration is also in a conspiracy to ban arms allowed under the constitution.

Either arms means ALL military arms as you are claiming or it means only those arms used in a militia when the constitution was passed if you want to be a constitutional originalist. Your tortured reading to make it seem that Obama wants to ban guns allowed because they are military in nature is completely indefensible unless and until you want to defend my right to keep a nuclear weapon in my basement.l

Jesus, you always try to pull off **** like this. Absolutely nowhere in the constitution is any putative right of self-defense mentioned, in a context of keeping and bearing arms, nor in any other context.

The 10 round clip I posted a link to earlier was for an Enfeild 2A.

So, is a standard military rifle covered or not by the 2nd now?

Then what the hell have you been doing talking about the banning of .30-.30 ammo for if it isn't constitutionally protected? You don't seem to be able to make a coherent argument Oralloy.

This sort of weapon didn't exist when the Constitution was written, and, therefore, there is no clarification about them. There is no basis whatever for suggesting that the purpose of the 2nd Amendment was to protect Americans' right to hunt. It says that the government may not infringe upon the peoples' right to posess weapons, and one must assume that that's what it means. At the time of its writing, arms pretty much just meant guns. As to whether the Founders would have wanted larger weapons to be allowed is hard to say, because the issue didn't much exist when the document was written, but it is clear that they wanted possession of guns to be a protected right. The Bill of Rights in general limits the power of government to control citizens, and this amendment is likely in the same spirit.

You can't claim "arms" only means guns like the founders had while making allowances for any guns they didn't have. "Arms" is not restricted to mean only weapons that shoot a projectile propelled by gunpowder. It certainly didn't have that meaning at the time of founders.

I don't know and I don't care. The fact that I make one assertion doesn't mean that I'm obligated to take a position on any other issue. What I am asserting is that (1) the Founders clearly meant for the right to own guns to be protected, and that (2) the intention of the amendment likely at least included an effort to protect the people against excessive government control, since that's what the other amendments in the Bill of Rights seem designed to do.
