2A History

A thread of 2A citations. Most are 18th/19th century cites showing 2A to be an individual Right, but some are 20th century and some show the militia to be comprised of all citizens and some are oddballs. Starting with: the militia isn't just American.. x.com/2aHistory/stat…

@Tso_Apittse Truthfully, a lot of M16's and AK's and whatnot in Mexico originated with the CIA arming rebel groups in Central and South America. And the Cartels are buying them up now.

@2aHistory So rumors of the cia running guns is now a conspiracy theory proven true.

The article they cite explicitly says that the Cartels are increasingly being armed by guns you can't buy in gun stores. Which Giffords ignores, trying to convince gullible liberals into believing it's civilian owned arms. Remember, when gun control groups talk? They're lying.

@PMclaine89201 2A actually does, since it protects arms for the people for all traditional uses. It protects arms for training, recreation, hunting, self defense, militia use... All of 'em. Because the more you use them, the more skilled you are.

@2aHistory 2A has nothing to do with hunting.

why on gods green earth shouldn't they have a semi auto? It was good enough for our great-grandfathers to hunt with! Winchester 1907:

@grainregularity No, that's the Bassomatic!

That stuff you're percolating is smelling really burned.. How long's that been on the burner? 😆

@Baurakale7 Going with the KISS principle.. I'd say he's just ignorant.

@2aHistory Bro said it wasn't fair to the game. I think he's a troll who gets joy out of making you think he's ignorant and in need of correction.

@GunsofLiberty75 Once upon a time.. yep. 1832 NY Adj-General's Office: "To a country meditating hostilities against another, the spectacle of a whole people well armed, and so far disciplined as to be capable at a moment's warning of arraying at any point a force adequate to repel an invader.."

@2aHistory New York also had a Supreme Court justice that was sane: “The CITIZEN is thus ever armed against foreign aggression, and prepared to encounter civil war, and becomes the sleepless sentinel of his liberties." -- New York Supreme Court Justice Elisha Powell Hurlbut.

Believe it or not, there was a time when New York City was sane... Jan. 28, 1910 - New York Times Results of the high school rifle team match between Morris High School (South Bronx) and Clinton High School (Lower Manhattan). archive.org/details/sim_ne…

@RichardADuke73 @MorosKostas Absolutely. In fact shooting competitions and traveling marksmen shows were popular up into the early 20th century.

@2aHistory @MorosKostas Let's not forget the Creedmoor range on Long Island in the late 1800s. Long range competitions were quite popular events at the time.

@2AJames_ He didn't.. it does make me laugh, especially since I can carry more rounds in some lever actions than I can legally carry in a semiauto when hunting.

@2aHistory Did he trot out the "be a better shot" one yet? I love that one.

@HowardMSklar Or carrying a baseball bat is fine, carrying baseball bat with barbed wire wrapped around it and nails sticking out not fine..

I was thinking back to the Northhampton stuff that loves to get thrown around. Axes are fine.. carrying a headsman's axe is not fine. Good question what the cutoff would be.. I'd think it'd have to be from a distance? AR15 is fine, vehicle turret with AR15's mounted not fine?😆

Another question on "in common use": how specific do you get? If we say pistols are in common use, can the state respond that the p365 may be, but the Atlas Athena isn't? Can the state regulate hammer-fired pistols because they're not as popular as striker-fired? Or steel framed pistols? Not in common use, but polymer is? Can they say that *some* ARs are in common use, but not others? I don't think I've heard a State make this argument, but it's not a terrible one.

@Embraceape @natenotabot1234 @RMGOColorado "Modern scary semiauto's fire much faster and are much more powerful for hunting than guns from previous generations!!!" Umm... about that...

@Embraceape @natenotabot1234 @RMGOColorado "why on gods green earth does any hunter need a semi auto?" Grandpa's generation of gun.. which apparently nobody in history would have ever hunted with? What an odd thing to say.

🚨 Breaking 🚨 House Democrats are limiting debate on THREE Gun Bills which are coming to the floor today. HB-1126 (Gun Store Annihilation) SB-004 (Red Flag Expansion) SB-043 (Barrel Registry) They are silencing the representation of gun owners in Colorado!

Has to be at a higher level.. Machineguns vs semiauto would be probably the example that SCOTUS would go for. And actually did, in Staples. But leaving a possibility of even cosmetic features causing a gun to be banned (for carry at least) if it was intended to inspire fear among the citizenry.

@2aHistory Practically, yes. I'm wondering as a legal theory question…what do you think?

@HadrianHarker @unofficialreslt @robertgraham Keep flailing. Everybody knows that you were either extremely ignorant or flat out lying. "You already prove citizenship when registering".

@2aHistory @unofficialreslt @robertgraham But hey, thanks again for confirming that non-citizen voting is so rare that it's not an issue, like I've been saying all along.

"But you need an ID to drive, to drink, to buy a gun". Yes, but under the SAVE Act, these are not sufficient to vote. You need more "ID" than just that. The SAVE Act is not a "voter ID" law but a voter suppression law. If it were merely a voter ID law, it wouldn't be so controversial.

@frag316 You can tell his gun expertise by that last bit.. "the clips are 2x as big" Yep. All my guns have big clips.

@2aHistory All of his posts are gibberish.

@Embraceape You can just say that you've never held a gun.. it's okay. Everybody knows. "You can reload 2x as fast as that old gun you showed"... What is it on the "old gun" that makes swapping mags twice as slow as on modern guns?

@2aHistory its more, literal in this case, the modern gun you can reload 2x as fast as that old gun you showed, so you really think your audience is stupid, so I bet money you live in Europe?

@Embraceape Bullets downrange is as fast as you can pull the trigger. That's how semiauto rifles work, idjit. And now you're mumbling "bullet aerodynamics" which apply to bolt actions, lever actions and even black powder rifles when a moment ago you were crying about semiauto's?

@2aHistory bullets down range per minute is 2x modern vs your picture due to increases in precision manufacturing bulletproof aerodynamics but mostly small ganes in FPS, & more the clips are 2x as big gilmore happy

@rreeves5 "SEMIAUTOS ARE TOO MODERN AND ARE DANGEROUS!!! DERP!!" These guys are funny as hell. This ad is closer to the ratification of the Constitution than it is to today.

@2aHistory Always love those old gun ads.

@Embraceape What the hell are you talking about? "power difference" ??? It's a semiauto, detachable magazine rifle capable of killing medium sized game. Please go on.. this should be funny as hell.

@2aHistory see how comparing that gun to modern weapons hides the true difference of their power difference, this is called acting like a parotriot to hide your bad intentions
