Critical time where the applicant expects to face danger

I needs my guns the minute I needs them. Vending machines full of guns should be on every street corner so I have access to the firepower and ammunition I need at all times.

Citizens wouldn't be facing so much danger if we didn't have guns everywhere..

I am more offended by them saying you have to be 21 years old. If you are old enough to be drafted for the military then you should be old enough to have a firearm. Same with the right to vote.

21 to buy a handgun. Rifles you only have to be 18. Quite a few states are like that.

This is basically how gun laws have worked in Canada for ages. Treating access to guns the same way you do cars just makes sense. Of course the ease of being able to smuggle weapons bought from the unregulated US sources has meant that gun crime here is still a major problem compared to countries who share borders with others with similar gun control laws. The majority of gun crime in Canada happens with illegally sourced weapons 85% of which has been sourced to guns purchased in the US. Mexico experiences a similar issue.

Gun pollution spreads over our borders and the US is simply big enough and self obsessed enough to not care. Every democratic nation has it's own version of the US Constitution and unlike when the US Constitution was written, democracies now make up the majority of government systems on the world stage. There are now a lot of democratic societies who have been stable and just fine without massive amounts of citizen gun ownership. In a very real way American gun law structured as it is interferes with our country's ability to address guns on our own democratic and constitutional grounds.

Democracy and freedoms of the kind the US bills itself on is now considered pretty basic worldwide. Anyone operating on an originalist veiw really needs to unbury their head from the sand and realize how much the world has changed since it was written.

"Sorry bro, you're going to have to wait for the first amendment to kick in."

"Yeah, we're gonna have to quarter soldiers here. Sorry, you don't get 3rd amendment protections for another month."

Depleted Uranium ammo was not a thing until the 40's. Not long enough to have a historical basis for banning civilians from owning them.

Me too. They just gloss over three fourths of the amendment.

Well regulated.

Milita.

To protect the security of the state.

These words mean nothing to conservatives, they read them right out of the Constitution and then claim they are adhering to strictly to the text.

Why do you think law abiding citizens should be subjected to waiting periods to exercise their constitutional rights?

I think SCOTUS might reverse that. I don't think there was any recent case concerning waiting periods.

It was written and proposed by an ultra religious movement too... You can be tax free or take positions in governing. Pick one.

they don't want us libs to arm ourselves
