@coldjoint,
Oh yes, indeed they do. This is from
The United States versus Miller:
Quote:In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a "shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length" at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment, or that its use could contribute to the common defense.
And:
Quote:With obvious purpose to assure the continuation and render possible the effectiveness of such forces the declaration and guarantee of the Second Amendment were made. It must be interpreted and applied with that end in view.
You crack me up--you're like Baldimo with his bullshit about how well he understands the constitution (yeah, right
). You two must have attended the same class on the constitution--a special education class.
