You have a constitutional right to a well regulated militia. So, if you
can own a gun, you are exercising your constitutional right. Just because
it's well regulated, that doesn't mean you're not able to exercise it.

I like to use NYS as an example. People claim we have the most draconian gun laws. Yet, I can buy 10 guns, with 1000 rounds of ammunition, all during my lunch hour. Yet, people still say NYS is banning guns. No, they're banning tools of war, just like we've banned hand grenades and ICBM from general ownership.

Same here. I actually have no problem with gun ownership, even of M2 machine guns. As long as the person is routinely checked out, and is subject to a militia commander. Basically, own any weapon you want, if you are in a
militia that is well regulated. Yahoos running around using assault weapons
as a phallic replacement is not what the second amendment is for.

Yes. I do on occasion. The 5.56 and .223 rounds are not powerful rounds,
and were selected to bring a man down, but not kill them 9/10 times. Because it take 3 people to get a wounded soldier off the battlefield, and 0 to call
a person as dead, and recover later. A deer would laugh your round off, as would most other game.

Adding to this, the cleaning requirements for the AR/M16/M4 platform, you're asking to be spending more time cleaning your weapon, than hunting.

From what I understand they were also designed to be lighter than a standard battle rifle round. Lighter rounds = more rounds per soldier.

Very true about the deer lol... Yes, the M16 issues were bad, they've gotten better, a little. Mostly, though, people just were better trained in the
care of the weapon. Until it's introduction, the battle rifle could be dirty as all heck, and still fire. Just like the AK platform, as the tolerances are not as close.

So, you consider it a problem that a crack dealer is prohibited from owning guns?

Um, when he became a drug dealer, he knew (Or should have known) he was at
risk of becoming a felon.

So, no. His right to own a tool for killing was removed due to him being a drug dealer. And, no, he wasn't a teenager, as his record would have been sealed from review if he was. Unless you count 18 & 19 as a "teenager".

That being said, where in NYS does one require a gun to protect themselves
and their family? Why can't his wife just buy a gun? Was she a drug dealer too?

That would be insane if people had to go that route. I could just see any use of such being classified as terror right out of the gate.

Name a state where the right to own a gun has been taken away, or any state where it's even been proposed?

I don't know that much, but I know CA really had limitations on what where and how related to guns. If you can't carry a gun, transport a gun, load a gun or have effective parts to support the tool (gun) whats the difference for right to own it.

I see guns as a tool and its not the gun that is some much dangerous as the person with the gun, just like a person with a truck, or knife, or hammer, or whatever. Now comparing how effective it is at dealing with tyranical soverigns yes the type of tool really does matter.

Besides the funny thing is the law doesn't stop criminals from getting guns, and using them illegally. That's what nobody really talks about on TV (media). They say they want to change laws for the safety of us all but how does that stop poeople that don't follow the law who would otherwise be the people breaking into my home or threatening my or my family safety.

ahhhh I shouldn't get started.

Please name a state where owning a gun has been taken away, or anyone legislation even proposed to do so.

Here in NY, a good friend of mine is a convicted felon, because he sold crack to an undercover cop back in like 1998. He was a teenager, but
now, he's almost 40, a hard-working man, and still can't protect his family with anything other than knives, and people who are STILL acting like criminals are walking around outside his door with who knows
what.. I don't blame the democrats for this issue, but you did say to
name a state. I think it's a federal law, but states have their own provisions on which convicts can be trusted with guns & which can not.

The same constitutional ammendment that says everyone can own a gun, also
says that right is not extended to those convicted of a crime.

So, if you want to blame anyone, blame our Founding Fathers for that one.

I can't blame the founding fathers, but times have changed. Amendments need mending sometimes.

When the 2nd amendment became law, drug dealing was legal. Also, states have their own interpretations of the amendment, and also of what they consider to be "a crime."

It should be "a crime" for laws not to get updated when changes are overdue.

Convicted murderers can register guns in some states, while convicted drug offenders in other states can't. This is the part that bothers me about it
the most.

You might be glad that people who made mistakes when they were teenagers
can't own guns now, but it would make more sense if violent offenders were
the only ones with their gun rights stripped.

I also disagree with the voting rights being taken away from convicts. Unless they were convicted of voter fraud.

New York DOES have among the most draconian gun laws in the nation. They
even have some proposed that would make Kalifornia look mild in comparison.
For example, a law was put forth that would limit ammunition purchased to
twice the ammo capacity of the firearm. Since the SAFE law limits weapons
to a 7+1 ammo load, that would mean a maximum of 16 round of ammo permitted
for purchase per weapon. New York City is so anal on gun laws, that a
friend of mine was jacked by two cops with THEIR weapons drawn just because
he was carrying a .22 rifle, IN A HARDSIDED, LOCKED CASE, from an indoor shooting range to his car!

In New York, my 80's era Smith and Wesson Model 645 would be illegal
because it has an eight round magazine capacity. In New York, my Taurus
PT-145 would be illegal because of its 10 round magazine (and possibly
because of the Picatinny rail). My Maverick 88 12 gauge would be illegal,
I can load 8 rounds into the tube. My Ruger 10/22, with a 10 round
magazine would be illegal. I couldn't legally own my Hi-Point carbine nor
my AR style MODERN SPORTING RIFLE regardless of the magazine capacity of
either one. New York's gun laws do NOTHING to prevent any type of crime committed with guns within the state. Outlawing modern defensive firearms
only results in the law-abiding populace being made defenseless against a heavily armed criminal element, and guarantees that Albany can ride
roughshod over the rights of the citizenry because unlike the citizenry of 1775, they haven't the strength of arms to resist the ruling class.

Um, I live in NY. No such law has ever been proposed in the legislature, AFAIK. As far as the SAFE Act's limit, that was struck down by the NY courts.

I can't speak too much as far as NYC goes. I don't live there. However,
given the fact I know lots of gun owners in NYC, who go to the range often, I will hazard he was already in trouble for something else.

Wrong, wrong, and wrong again. All of those would have been legal.

As far as gun laws not preventing criminals from getting guns, the #'s of failed background checks per month disagrees.

And, FWIW, in 1797, the US passed a law requiring all gun owners present
their weapons for inspection monthly (Militia Acts of 1797).

If the constitution was meant to provide a route for insurrection, the POTUS wouldn't have explicit authority to put down insurrection.

That being said, where in NYS does one require a gun to protect themselves and their family? Why can't his wife just buy a gun? Was she a drug dealer too?

most likely, he can't have a gun in the house where he resides in, otherwise, he'd be able to use the gun himself just as easily as she would, when she's not there.

What I find funny about what people call "assault rifles" is that for the most part, they are no different than a hunting .22 rifle.

I mean many of them chamber .22 and "look" like a tactical weapon but really don't hold any more rounds, or fire any faster, than a mossberg plinkster.

I get the argument against fully auto larger round hi capacity magazines or clips.

But I mean imagine the damage a person in a movie theater can do with a
shotgun and only 5 shells. A person may survive a .22 round. Something out of
a shotgun?
I own firearms.
I hate firearms.

Its a tough thing to deal with... on the one hand, i wish nobody had them and they were never invented.

On the other, I'm glad i have mine.

California is f'd up thats for sure look at what Cal and NY did to the past election. Take either of them out of the mix and its a landslide.

BTW for Christmas I bought myself a little Glock 42 - I have small hands. It is almost the same dimensions as my Ruger LC9 and very lightweight. I figured a .380 would be a good backup carry option and something my wife could use at range to get into it...

One of the good things about .22's is that you can often find a decent, and affordable, one for things just like that. Many of them are more affordable than a break-barrel springer air rifle.
