I was addressing Swampfox's question about needing government approval to own SBR's and full-auto guns. The courts have upheld the NFA and similar State laws, and the people have not forced the government to rescind the NFA or similar State laws.
You are correct about the NFA laws, my mistake for applying it to all gun laws.
stanc Wrote:What you have quoted are not "The Militia Clauses." They are paragraphs from Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution.The last time I looked, the Constitution was the law of the land and clause 15 and 16 of Article I Section 8 are the militia clauses of the Constitution so they are laws about the militia LOL! The organized and un-organized militia belong to these clauses, "even though you acknowledge only one, doesn't make the other irrelevant lol.
They are not "militia laws" and they do not contradict what I said, so I have no idea what you're objecting to. :confused:That's what the militia was supposed to do. What passes for the militia these days is the National Guard, which (except for nukes) does have the same types of weapons as the Federal government.

I quote you:

stanc Wrote::I dunno. I still am willing to discuss the subject with you, despite your disregard of historical content and context.
Please, do tell me where I disregard historical content and context! I noticed you had no objection to the intent part LOL!
