Trump's Little Stormtroopers....

As mentioned in another thread where it came up "musket" is a dog whistle code word for armed insurgency by civilians, and the AR rifle is called "modern musket" by some people who associate the second amendment freedoms generally with the specific rifle used by troops in any time.

Which needs a special note. As used by the ignorant (not you !!) the rifle used by the current military here is the M-16 which is an assault rifle (it has selective fire including auto fire - required to be an assault rifle). The AR-15 is NOT an assault rifle (unless illegally modified with illegally purchasable if used to modify same parts). There is a definite difference which a lot of anti gun persons refuse to acknowledge and a lot of areas try to get around by describing appearance rather than actual function. ARs get beat by troop selective fires pretty successfully.

Just out of interest, (1) when was the last time that Democratic party appointed justices formed the majority in the SCOTUS, and (2) why wasn't it truly over then?

1- not in my lifetime.

2- because the left has proven they will legislate from the bench.

He's right though. The current culture war will be over when liberals take over the court. That's the thing about progressiveness vs reaction.

Reactionaries will at that point find another cause to latch on to and declare new culture wars. That's the way towards progress.

They also do not respect our constitution, something about it being a living breathing document.

Your Fuhrer wants to shred the 1st Amendment to make it easier for him to sue people that say things about him that he doesn't like.

But that's OK because he's a Republican, right?

because the specific type of gun is what's important.

Also the establishment clause of the first ammendment as well as the 4th Amendment's protection against unreasonable search and seizure. Not to mention separation of powers. And while we're at it. Where in the Constitution does it say that a corporation is a citizen?

Yes, it is. Whatever the field, accuracy is important. I trust you have no problem with this in the real world - I have no memory of you having such problem at any previous time!!
 
Note: it does not say a corporation is a citizen, it just makes corporations equivalent to a person for lawsuits and other specified things.

The basic one is the suing. Acts of the corporation that is being sued may result in fines/payments having to be made by the corporation - but does not allow suing individuals absent specific proof they are individually responsible for some act.

Separate note: An AR-15 is no more dangerous than any hunting/target rifle available for civilians - and less dangerous than many. Due to auto and burst fire ability, the M-16 is.

I was being rhetorical, but thanks. I know that the courts have interpreted it that way, but that is no more a literal translation of the Constitution than Roe v Wade. SO when people get all high and mighty over phrases like living document and original intent, they should bear in mind that there are many phrases in the document that are interpreted quite loosely.
