Lol do you think you stand a chance against the military with your semi auto rifles? Flintlock pistols or ar-15s, it doesn't matter, citizens aren't beating the military with either one.

It also gives the government the power to regulate your inherent right to own arms lol
No, it does not. Now answer my question. What's your ideal version of, "regulation?"

Firearm owners or just militias?
That's also true.

I've been rather charitable with my interpretation like that I suppose.

You could make the argument that individuals have no rights to own guns, and that only by getting together in regulated groups should they be allowed to own them.

Lol because guerilla warfare has never been used successfully against the US government. I guess the Vietcong/Taliban/mujahideen just don't exist, right?

Says nothing about disarming, but it can certainly regulate them.
Regulate them to the point of being combat ready as in "every militia member must own an AR-15 or similar rifle platform chambered in 5.56mm and have at least 200 rounds of ammunition on hand and be proficient in its operation and maintenance," not "you are not allowed to own this type of gun, or this type, or this type, or this type..."

You're assuming I've given regulation itself a lot of thought. I have not. I'm simply arguing that the government has the constitutional right to regulate gun ownership if it so desires.

Doom_Arts interpretation of the 2nd Amendment is about the same level as the interpretation that people should be able to own tanks.

The people who actually have a say in Constitutional law dont agree with him. But he can say his opinion online, no harm done.

Jokes aside that means this discussion is over. You have just admitted that you haven't given this a lot of thought. Which means you clearly haven't thought about what the government would do if they could "regulate" as they please.

They wrote Arms. They knew technology in warfare would change. That's why they didn't write muskets and sabers

Except statutes and ordinances restricting who may carry a firearm and how/what may be carried existed prior to, contemporaneously with, and after the Founding.

Even accommodating for the prospect of incorporation via the 14th Amendment, which I don't believe has officially been held to be the case, ignoring that historical context which is the foundation of Second Amendment jurisprudence is just bad faith. Even moreso in light of the numerous caveats dotting the application of other amendments in their own constitutional arenas.

No one's talking about dismantling the 2A.

On the contrary I'm a big supporter of it and the right it gives the government to regulate the sale and ownership of arms.

I love guns and fully support the right to bare arms.

That said...some fucking changes need to be made. I'm going to a gun show this weekend, how in the fuck do we not require a successful background check prior to purchasing a ticket and being cleared for admission? If you can't buy legally, you have zero business at a show. Thats a common sense regulation.
I have no record or restraining orders, no desire to harm anyone etc, but if I did there's nothing stopping me from going to a show and picking up a cheap gun for "that slut and her new boyfriend". That is a HUGE problem. Luckily many sellers have some fucking morals and will conduct a background check, but many also have the attitude of "not my problem what they do with it, muh rights muh property". Not inaccurate, but why contribute to the problem? I would never forgive myself if I sold a gun to someone who then used it to assault someone.

To be fair there is a decent amount of disagreement among people that know con law very well. Read DC v. Heller. That case was really about the militia issue. I think we can all read it and see that the plain language is really about state rights in regulating militias. This led to the question of what about people that arent in the militias?

It a isnt super clear and even the SC splits on these gun issues a lot. In Heller, the SCOTUS was clear that the 2A expand beyond militias (odd how a conservative majority doesnt care about text sometimes) but that was recently (in 2008).

These issues just arent that clear or well settled and anyone suggesting it is the case is probably wrong.

DC v. Heller decision states the US position on gun rights.

The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Provisions of the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975 infringe an individual's right to bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment. United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed.
