(Don't worry, they are only taking away and murdering the Jews)

Pure paranoia.

Tell that to 9 million Jews


This is not Germany in the 1930s. And registration of guns had nothing
to do with them murdering Jews. They round up Jews whether they had
guns or not.

Germany of the 1930s wasnt Germany of the 1920s either. Yet one
became the other.

And what is that supposed to mean? Don't duck this one, Gunner. Let's
see what you really know about this stuff you're babbling about.


You are really really weak on history arent you?

No, not especially weak.


Now about that pesky "Shall not be Infringed" thingy?

How about it? It really bugs you, doesn't it?

Look it up. Then check the historical accounts cited in Heller.

Constitution was written in 1787....which included the 2nd Amendment.


Yup. But even in 1828, as Webster tells us, the "encroach" usage was
still "little used."


But infringed was used.

In fact, it was a corruption. "Infringe" derives from Latin, "to
break." "Fringe" derives from a back formation meaning "thread," or,
literally, "fringe."

Different roots. Different meanings. And as Webster (1828) says,
"infringed" had only one side of the meaning: "pp. Broken; violated;
transgresses."


So the right to keep and bear arms shall not be broken, violated or
transgressed upon. Thanks!!


Correct. But the right, as we know, is not an unlimited right. There
are all manner of limits that may be placed on gun ownership that do not
infringe the right. This is not in serious dispute.
