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…

2A History@2aHistory

Another history tidbit on English militia practices of late 18th century & earlier. 1) Not just a "colonist" thing that militias existed. 2) Wasn't necessary for militia members to actively muster & train. 3) It was common to keep arms in homes. Militias of London - 1782

@boomstickbabe About all they can say is that they aren't setting record high crime rate years right now.

@boomstickbabe Who says crime is down? FBI aggravated assault counts for Colorado for 2000 -> 2025

Alicia Garcia@boomstickbabe·48m

They want you to believe crime is down in Colorado. With all the gun control laws we have been force fed for the past 5 years, aren’t these things not supposed to happen?

@2aHistory @HarmeetKDhillon Great news for NJ! When can CA expect to see the magazine restriction removed by a circuit court?

2A History@2aHistory·1d

This lawsuit against overly oppressive gun permit schemes is in the same circuit court that overturned NJ's AWB and magazine bans Friday. Love to see it! Keep it up, DOJ!

Firearms Policy Coalition@gunpolicy

A US Virgin Islands federal judge denied the territory's motion to stay the briefing in DOJ's lawsuit against its gun permit scheme, saying that "the Court notes with disappointment Defense counsel’s glaring lack of attention to basic litigation procedures."

@HeavilyRecruitd Semiauto rifles were sold on the civilian market for decades before the military adopted any. Yep. If you read enough old articles, it's funny to see how much of the American public considered bolt actions as weapons of war from 1890's-1920's, and nobody should use them.

English

HeavilyRecruitd@HeavilyRecruitd·3h

@2aHistory And that's just the AR platform itself. Autoloading guns have been around for centuries (Puckle gun et al). Smokeless gun powder was developed in 1884, detachable box magazines in 1875. The AR is a twist on the Stg 44, itself an improvement of the Mkb 42. And on, and on.

"ShOoTiNg An AnImAl WiTh A SeMiAuTo Is BrUtAl AnD wIlL sHrEd ThE AnImAl" I so love reading gun twitter. Sears & Roebuck sold these in 1908, high power semiauto rifles with detachable magazines. This is OLD tech, and 223's do not shred animals, ya doof.

salem🐞@astralyntruther

@BumpstockBarbie to more violence. i also dont 100% agree with having an assault rifle in most cases. for hunting its too brutal and can shred whatever animal you’re hunting and having an automatic gun for self defense just seems overkill in my personal opinion. one of those things i feel

@HeavilyRecruitd That's true. If you look at the time from ratification of 2A up to the invention of Gatling guns and lever actions, it's about equal to the time that the AR15 has been around. Tech has always been improving, and the AR isn't new tech any more.

English

HeavilyRecruitd@HeavilyRecruitd·3h

@2aHistory But it's important to highlight, as that is the level of ignorance and brainwashing that young Americans have nowadays. And most are not willing to admit that they just mindlessly accepted the lies.

@HeavilyRecruitd Yeah, I shouldn't have picked on her. After reading the thread, Laura walked her through the mistakes and she accepted many of them.

English

HeavilyRecruitd@HeavilyRecruitd·4h

@2aHistory That was a thread of complete ignorance. She's young, so I blame her parents. The one thing I appreciate is the honesty - she admits her opinion is based on pure emotion, not fact.

English

2A History@2aHistory·3h

@freedomstixusa True. I wouldn't use it, there are so very many, many better choices. Maybe in areas where the deer are much smaller.

English

Freedom Stix@freedomstixusa·4h

@2aHistory The funniest part is that plenty of states don't allow deer hunting with the .223/5.56 cartridge because it's 'underpowered'. Can't make this stuff up. 🤣

English

2A History@2aHistory·3h

@Game0gre If the 2A is about killing cops, then it's about murdering cops. They literally say they don't need a reason beyond the fact that cops enforce laws.

English

Ogre@Game0gre·5h

@2aHistory No one said anything about murdering anyone? Defending yourself isn't murder. Your entire argument seems based around the fact that cops are called cops. If that's the case then it's nonsensical but I still don't exactly know what you're arguing.

English

2A History@2aHistory·3h

@Name54939 @gsd7373 @Game0gre Already covered this. Many guns were designed for war and then later modified for civilian use. But fine.. you can call your AR that you picked up at Cabelas a weapon of war if it makes you feel better, before you take it out to shoot paper or feral hogs.

English

Jebadiah Fink Mullen@Name54939·11h

@2aHistory @gsd7373 @Game0gre and giving specific models of AR-15 military designations like M16 and M4 doesn't change them into new unique weapons

2A History@2aHistory·3h

@RyanPatrickOl Where do you have a larger choice of gun models to buy?

CanadianGunner(in exile)@RyanPatrickOl·11h

@2aHistory I do have more firearms in Canada than I do America. Mostly due to living in Washington and not being able to get an ar. Mine is still secure in Canada though.

You are almost totally limited to hunting rifles and shotguns, Syrupean. If your geese ever start a revolution, you're set. For anything else, you're just victims hoping the US will protect you.

@gsd7373 @Game0gre And yet there are 30+ million that have never and will never see war. It's almost like it's a civilian arm.

English

Greg D@gsd7373·11h

@2aHistory @Game0gre Yes, you are being silly The AR-15 was created for the military to be used in war, used by the military in war, & 60 yrs later is still being used by the military in war. Many militaries have used the AR-15 in war. New AR-15s are being adopted to go to war. It is a weapon of war

@Calibremag @Hughges_Janus @FortySacks "be seen as stopping" Bingo. Performance theater.

English

Calibre@Calibremag·11h

@Hughges_Janus @2aHistory @FortySacks That's why they picked that as the length; the lawmakers of the time wanted to be seen as stopped "Saturday night specials," but still permit handgun ownership/shooting. It's quite an antiquated law in the age of 3D printing, suffice to say.

@gsd7373 @Game0gre So every Mauser derived bolt action is a weapon of war? Probably seen use in more wars than the AR15.. by quite a bit actually. The argument is silly. It was on the civilian market within a few years, and not for people to go to battlefields. As a sporting rifle.

English

Greg D@gsd7373·11h

@2aHistory @Game0gre Yes, many of our weapons are weapons of war. But the AR-15 itself was designed and created specifically at the request of the US military. The AR-15 has been used in every war since vietnam. To say its not a weapon of war is silly nonsense. The 2A was written for weapons of war.

English

2A History@2aHistory·11h

@Calibremag @FortySacks So what guns make up that 2 million number that Canadians have buried under their outhouses? The fact that's even a thing already indicates how far down the shithole your country is. But tell me the types of guns..

English

Calibre@Calibremag·11h

Simple answer? Grok is wrong. Long answer? The only guns Trudeau banned that *were* registered were about 120k AR-15s, but they were previously registered as restricted firearms (treated the same was as handguns), and the registrations were nullified when they were banned because the owners didn't have the prohibited-class licenses required to have prohibited firearms registered to them. The vast majority of guns he banned were non-restricted firearms, which don't need to be registered. So effectively, everything he banned isn't included in the number of registered prohibited firearms Grok pulled up - it just reflects the total of pre-existing prohib guns that were/are registered to prohibited license holders. AI doing AI things. The 2M estimate is from import/export records, industry, etc. In reality no one knows the exactly number, but after 15 years covering this stuff here, that sounds about right to me.

English

2A History@2aHistory·11h

@Calibremag @Hughges_Janus @FortySacks A lot of very collectible old pistols were turned in and destroyed because the barrels were under an arbitrary length. Yay, Canada!

English

2A History@2aHistory·11h

@Calibremag @Hughges_Janus @FortySacks 105mm, about 4.13".. And no, that's a totally arbitrary and ridiculous law. First, I get guns shipped to my house. So your statement there isn't complete. Second, Canada has 'stupid' short barreled shotgun laws also.
