LOL you should get out more and talk to people who aren't paranoid.
What the far-left government in DC calls "reasonable" has been declared unconstitutional by the SCOTUS.

Actually the vast majority of DC gun laws have been left untouched by the Supreme Court. Right now the additional rights you have is to keep a loaded revolver in your home. Not on the street, not in your car. No automatics, revolvers.

Lock and load Rambos

Several states left the Union.

There was war that was fought about it in the 1860s.

Anyway the states created the fedreral government. Not the other way around. At some point the United States will break up. Probably not for a while but it most certainly will happen.

DC ran scared for a while and seemed to have changed their laws every week as lawsuits were filed and they changed the law to necessitate a new lawsuit. There is a case in the works on the right to bear arms outside of the home in DC.

Seriously, you did not take history here did you? Quit representing. I demand a better spokesperson of my state.

Who, yourself?? -- And as it happens, I graduated (#56 out of 570) from Great Falls High School (at the time one of the highest-ranked schools in the entire country), where history and civics were required subjects.

Come on, can't you naysayers do any better than this mindless taunting? Rather than add substance to the discussion, you toss insults and blow raspberries... I guess that's how you plan to discourage liberty out of existence.

Interesting, I happen to know the stat guy at a school system here. According to him we have some of the lowest rated schools in the country. And our greatest export is our children.

I see the problem. You're from a different Montana, in an alternate universe.

So you won an award for math in the eighties. Once Babylon was a great city too.

And yes, I live in alternate universe Montana.
