Why isn't the NRA fighting for the right to own mortars, bazookas, howitzers, et al?

Whre does their definition of 'arms' end?

No wait...they already are and don't care. I wonder how the new NY ban and laws is going to effect the Mob and local gangs?

They will laugh as they screw on their suppressor to their illegally converted HK 94 with out of State high cap mags they sent someone out of State to purchase for cash with no papertrail.

What, they say if the mags weren't available elsewhere, it would stop them?

I'm sure they can find a HVAC shop with sheet metal tools to reconstruct and modify these magazines...even someone with a TIG welder and or spot welder to weld them back up.

After all, it is the Mob you know.

They're not firearms, they are mortars, incendiary weapons, etc. A firearm is a shoulder fired weapon that doesn't fire explosive rounds so that means no RPGs or bazookas or grenade launchers or anti aircraft batteries et al.

If the world was full of gun grabbing *******s and nothing else we would still be wearing grass skirts and eating nothing but plants, living under a rock.

That mind set is familiar today with the idea present that ; 'If i can't, no one else can', meaning that since they can't work metal and wood no one else can....

Very soon you very printer on the pc will be able to print guns... The tech is there right now. When printing items becomes common there will be 0 Zero control.....

The state of Ohio has already once tried to ban flintlocks and cap locks which are black powder guns. Canada wanted to register all black powder guns once too.

Canada parks is taking a hard hit on no re-enactors bring history alive.. So is Fort Ticonderoga..... With out re-enactors there is not enough cash flow to save these older places.

Ft Ti has stone walls falling down...

*******s don't know masonry either.....

The definition of "arms" has been settled long ago by the founding fathers. It means what a regular infantry man can carry.

The 2nd Amendment says nothing whatsoever about "guns", merely "arms". You have the right to "keep and bear arms". Pikes, halberds, swords, bows and crossbows are all examples of "arms".

I am getting to the point where the argument on CD is boring...

*******s just can't tell the difference between a rifle/ hand gun, (Arms) and a friggin battle ship!
They have the idea you can just pick up a battle ship and go rob a bank.

You just can't deal with IDIOT like that. They can't tell a steak from a diaper full of chit.

I have no idea what's in city water anymore, but what ever it is, is damned dangerous.

I am so irate over the fact they don't know what Rights are and even want them that I am having a bad time just explaining.

They also have no clue about LAW, and whine all day about LAW they have no idea even exists as if no law does and are so very proud of this feeble intellect, as if they have created a new idea.

Kind of like a toddler who get's it, and no longer needs a diaper anymore. Clearly human reproduction will be next.. Can't wait...

I think half the people that are anti gun aren't old enough to own a gun.
