"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Now, as I read my copy of the Constitution, I don't see another amendment repealing this right (I could be wrong, but I'm not).
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
Amendment 10 clearly states that if the government is not delegated authority under the Constitution in a realm of influence, they have no authority in that realm.
So I ask:
From where does the Federal government derive the authority to pass laws outlawing military-grade weapons, limiting magazine capacities, and demanding registration?
I believe that if a law-abiding citizen wishes to own a weapon, from a knife to a fighter jet, they ought to be able to go out and purchase it. Nuclear Biological and Chemical weapons should be permitted only if they can be safely contained, as whereas a rifle or plane is harmless until used, WMD's can harm others and their property simply through existing.
Thoughts?
@Freeman15,
I'd say we are lock step on this issue
@Freeman15,
We're both Paul supporters, of course we are. Dr. No in 2008.
@Freeman15,
Support Ron Paul and support the 2nd Amendment! Nice post Freeman.
@Freeman15,
Or don't support ronny and still support the second amendment.
All of the sudden this turns into a Ron Paul endorsement, LOL.
@Freeman15,
So, doesn't mean they will do it if in power.

Weren't you the one accusing Ron Paul of being power hungry? Maybe it was another forum, I'll have to look.

Ron Paul auctions off rifles at fundraisers.
Ghouliani instituted gun control in NY
McCain supports gun control
Thompson has voted numerous times for gun control in the senate
Romney whole heartedly supports the Brady Bill, and the AWB
They are all RINO garbage. McCain is the least dangerous to our rights, but still a danger.

Would you let a convicted but "reformed" child molester baby-sit your kid? Probably not. We judge people on what they've done in the past because it's a reasonable indicator of what they'll do in the future. This is simple stuff that most people learn somewhere around the third-grade.

You have proved my point exactly.
@Freeman15,

I am totally pro-gun, I really have nothing to say about any candidate except Hillary and I did study up a bit on Obamanation because I am appauled (spell police)he is even being considered in light of 9/11. Obama, Osama that was enough for me truely! Shallow , yeah maybe but I don't care.

Me and my wife thought long and hard about staying in Germany when I got out, but gun control and TUV moved us back to the states. When my son reaches Jr. high age, we are seriously considering moving back since the school system there makes Americas look like it's derived from the Congo.
@Freeman15,
I was really hoping for a gun-control advocate to chime in here. I guess not?

I advocate gun control. Trigger squeeze, and breathe control is esential to a good shot, you must control your firearm to hit a target
@Freeman15,
You got that right.
I do luckly enjoy the gun club my husband and I belong to, it is the only way to practice and just have a blast (literally)! There is a concealed weapons license you can get here but it takes sometime and you need a good reason to have it. Coming soon my man will have that reason, I can't wait. Come on back, we'll drink a Bier!
