The Right To Bear Arms

[H B Lowrie]

Like the Russians in Afghanistan and the Americans in Vietnam, eh Leach?

A foreign intervention is vastly different from a civil war...douchebag

You think the US military would use nukes in a civil war?

Slaughtered and genocided our way into a land mass, you think your whiteness will give them pause?

Shhh...don’t let anyone know the Natives were already warring with each other before the White man came along.

And eating each other......for dinner.....

Where did scalping come from again hon?

As opposed to the slaughter and genocide that already existed here? Or all over the rest of the world?

Someone knows nothing of the advanced civilizations that existed in the americas, and all over the world really, long before the euros who had contaminated their own land mass to such a syphilitic plague ridden dystopian extent, that the dregs of european society left the foul chamber pot showers of their feudal tenement slums to nautically caravan across the globe and bring their diseases across th4e borders of others.

And to see the caterwauling of their descendants now is rich, oh so rich.

You mean the Western Civilization that lives in wealth and prosperity while those civilizations you defend are still a wreck? After having existed long before Europe came out of the Dark Ages...and those older civilizations couldn't keep up?

That's the opinion of Rupert Murdoch's conservative New York Post. And it's not as far-fetched as it may seem.

Well, let's read the text of the Second Amendment, says Jeffrey Sachs at The Huffington Post:

A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.​

It's astonishingly clear that "the Second Amendment is a relic of the founding era more than two centuries ago," and "its purpose is long past."

As Justice John Paul Stevens argues persuasively, the amendment should not block the ability of society to keep itself safe through gun control legislation. That was never its intent. This amendment was about militias in the 1790s, and the fear of the anti-federalists of a federal army. Since that issue is long moot, we need not be governed in our national life by doctrines on now-extinct militias from the 18th century.​

"Fair-minded readers have to acknowledge that the text is ambiguous," says Cass Sunstein at Bloomberg View. Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the majority opinion in Heller, was laying out his interpretation of a "genuinely difficult" legal question, and "I am not saying that the court was wrong." More to the point: Right or wrong, obsolete or relevant, the Second Amendment essentially means what five justices on the Supreme Court say it means. So "we should respect the fact that the individual right to have guns has been established," but even the pro-gun interpretation laid out by Scalia explicitly allows for banning the kinds of weapons the shooter used to murder 20 first-graders. The real problem is in the political arena, where "opponents of gun control, armed with both organization and money, have been invoking the Second Amendment far more recklessly," using "wild and unsupportable claims about the meaning of the Constitution" to shut down debate on what sort of regulations might save lives.

So long as there are home invasions, burglaries, rapes, murders and the threat of a looming tyrannical government in the hands of Marxists, the 2nd Amendment isn't obsolete.

We have a Second Amendment and should have no security problems in our free States.

We have the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms but this fucking oppressive government that the stupid Moon Bats love more than life itself has incrementally taken that right away.

Case in point. A few months ago a woman from Texas that was traveling through the state with her young daughter that legally owned a pistol and had not ever been accused of committing a crime was arrested in New York for the mere possession of that firearm.

If that ain't the fucking government taking away the right to keep and bear arms then nothing is. I could give many other examples where somebody that never had committed a crime was arrested for the mere possession of a firearm. In fact that is what the Heller and McDonald cases were all about. Individuals suing the fucking shithass government for making it illegal to merely possess a firearm.

Simply mustering the militia every once in a while should reduce security problems.

What you idiots fail to notice is that the government used its vast resources and incredible technology to overcome the potential individual opposition.

And they'd do it again if needed.

Agreed, befriending and saving the euros early on was their biggest mistake. As I say, Pocahontas was rewarded with death in captivity in Britain, turns out King Philip was right about them.

The term Well Regulated was in use from the 1500's to the 1800's and describes a mechanical function, or a well run business. Try learning some English language history before you make a fool of yourself again. Put another way, why do clocks from that era have WELL REGULATED embossed on their faces?

Again...the Militia is mentioned TWICE in the Constitution. The 2A talks about a Well regulated militia and Article 1 Section 8 describes a militia that is organized, has rank, discipline and training..."Well regulated".

But hey...if you insist on continuing on this tac the DIck Act GOVERNS what remains of the militia...well regulated or not...and it covers ONLY males between 17 and 45.

AGAIN. WELL REGULATED has NOTHING to do with laws, and everything to do with being in good working order. Learn some ENGLISH!

Appealing to ignorance is a fallacy, right wingers. Fallacy is all y'all have.

And yet you are the only one demonstrating your profound ignorance on a daily basis.

anybody can Talk. Men have arguments.

Our Constitution is Express, not Implied.

Indeed it is. "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED". Who shall not be infringed upon? The government that makes the laws....or the PEOPLE that those laws infringe upon? C'mon junior, you claim to have an "argument". Make it. So far all you have shown is an infantile understanding of the COTUS.

Explaining individual liberty to an idiot socialist Moon Bat like this danielpalos yahoo is always a waste of time.

All these Moon Bats hate the liberties guaranteed in the Bill of Rights because the individual freedoms make it more difficult to make this country a socialist shithole that they all desire so much.

Except it primitive warfare was normally symbolic, very low fatality rates, and captured were usually adopted.
Nothing like as bad as we did to the Cherokee, Mandan, Sioux, Apache, Chimariko, etc.
By putting a price on scalps, we encouraged people to commit mass murder for profit, resulting in whole tribes being made extinct.

Not true. There is a question with the Anasazi in New Mexico, but only because the changing climate created such a long drought that all Anasazi either died or eventually had to leave. Even where cannibalism was common, like New Guinea, it is ritualistic, and not for food.
And the Romans and other Mediterranean cultures also conducted ritualistic cannibalism for religious purposes. The Romans and Europeans were likely the most barbaric in history, with things like crucifixion, burning at the stake, impaling, etc.

As opposed to the Aztec and Inca and the other indians in North America who also engaged in ritual torture and execution..... And the Indians here were cutting out and eating hearts long after Rome fell....

Nope. Aztecs had a weird religious belief in sacrifice, but it was not at all torture, and victims were drugged out first.
It was a weird adaptation to previous over population problems.
It was not at all like the mass murder carried out by the Romans against the Druids, the Christians against Jews and Moslems, etc.
I have NEVER read anything about anyone eating human hearts in the New World?

But it fairly common to find in Europe.
Human cannibalism - Wikipedia
{...
In Gough's Cave, England, remains of human bones and skulls, around 14,700 years old, suggest that cannibalism took place amongst the people living in or visiting the cave, and that they may have used human skulls as drinking vessels.

Researchers have found physical evidence of cannibalism in ancient times. In 2001, archaeologists at the University of Bristol found evidence of Iron Age cannibalism in Gloucestershire. Cannibalism was practiced as recently as 2000 years ago in Great Britain.
...
Cannibalism is mentioned many times in early history and literature. Herodotus in "The Histories" (450s to the 420s BCE) claimed, that after eleven days' voyage up the Borysthenes (Dnieper in Europe) a desolated land extended for a long way, and later the country of the man-eaters (other than Scythians) was located, and beyond it again a desolated area extended where no men lived.

According to Appian, during the Roman Siege of Numantia in the second century BCE, the population of Numantia was reduced to cannibalism and suicide.

Cannibalism was reported by Josephus during the siege of Jerusalem by Rome in 70 CE.

Jerome, in his letter Against Jovinianus, discusses how people come to their present condition as a result of their heritage, and he then lists several examples of peoples and their customs. In the list, he mentions that he has heard that Attacotti eat human flesh and that Massagetae and Derbices (a people on the borders of India) kill and eat old people.
Ugolino and his sons in their cell, as painted by William Blake. According to Dante, the prisoners were slowly starved to death and before dying Ugolino's children begged him to eat their bodies.
Reports of cannibalism were recorded during the First Crusade, as Crusaders were alleged to have fed on the bodies of their dead opponents following the Siege of Ma'arra. Amin Maalouf also alleges further cannibalism incidents on the march to Jerusalem, and to the efforts made to delete mention of these from Western history. During Europe's Great Famine of 1315–17, there were many reports of cannibalism among the starving populations. In North Africa, as in Europe, there are references to cannibalism as a last resort in times of famine.

The North American Martyrs Offer A Way To Atone For Historic Sins

The Jesuit French missionaries Isaac Jogues and Jean Brebeuf arrived in Quebec in 1636 to work among the Hurons, a tribe that had been receptive to the Catholic faith. Unfortunately, Jogues was captured by the Iroquois, enemies of the Hurons, and imprisoned for 13 months, during which time he was beaten, tortured, and forced to watch as Huron converts were mangled and killed.

He escaped, only to return in 1646. He was again captured by a Mohawk war party, which tomahawked and beheaded him on October 18. Other French missionaries, including companion Jean de Lalande, Father Anthony Daniel, and Jean de Brébeuf, were tortured, murdered, or burned to death by Mohawk and Iroquois warriors in subsequent years across what is now Canada and upstate New York. Eight of these martyrs were canonized in 1930.

The torture methods these Native American peoples employed were exactingly wicked. During his first imprisonment, for example, Jogues’ hands were permanently mutilated, his fingers either cut off or chewed. The Mohawks and Iroquois extended these practices even to the child converts of the Catholic Huron, one missionary account describing a child of four or five who was stretched on a piece of bark, his tiny hands and feet pierced with pointed sticks.

A historical narrative common in the 19th and 20th centuries depicted the Iroquois as “an expansive military and political power … [who] subjugated their enemies by violent force and for almost two centuries acted as the fulcrum in the balance of power in colonial North America.”
--------

the pre-Colombian New World.

Historians now estimate that the once-powerful Aztec and Mayan civilizations in what is now Mexico murdered hundreds of thousands of peoples in bizarre rituals of human sacrifice to appease their gods. Many of these victims came from conquered people groups, demonstrating that even Native Americans could be “colonialists.”

Such spectacular violence was also prevalent in what is now the United States. Washington State University archaeologist Tim Kohler and colleagues have documented that nearly 90 percent of human remains from the American southwest during the twelfth century had trauma from blows to either their heads or parts of their arms.

David Scheimann

Of all the North American Indian tribes, the seventeenth-century Iroquois are the most renowned for their cruelty towards other human beings. Scholars know that they ruthlessly tortured war prisoners and that they were cannibals; in the Algonquin tongue the word Mohawk actually means "flesh-eater." There is even a story that the Indians in neighboring Iroquois territory would flee their homes upon sight of just a small band of Mohawks. Ironically, the Iroquois were not alone in these practices. There is ample evidence that most, if not all, of the Indians of northeastern America engaged in cannibalism and torture—there is documentation of the Huron, Neutral, and Algonquin tribes each exhibiting the same behavior. This paper will examine these atrocities, search through several possible explanations, and ultimately reveal that the practices of cannibalism and torture in the Iroquois were actually related.
Cannibalism in North America: Iroquois, Kwakiutl, Hamatsa Indians. Do Not Eat Me!

They vouch for an example of ritual cannibalism which took place near Fort Rupert. A Kwakiutl shot and wounded a slave, who ran away and collapsed on the beach at the water’s edge. He was pursued by the tribesmen, including a group of the ‘Bear Dancers’ and Hamatsas. The slave’s body was cut to pieces with knives while the Hamatsas squatted in a circle round them crying out their terrible cry: ‘Hap! Hap! Hap! Hap!’


New Data Suggests Some Cannibalism By Ancient Indians
Scientists have found what they say is the first direct evidence of cannibalism among prehistoric Indians in the American Southwest, belying the image of these people as steadfastly peaceful farmers.

The finding may well reignite a long-smoldering controversy over whether ancestral Indians ever made it a practice to eat human flesh, a conclusion deeply resented by their descendants.

The latest evidence sprang from the site of an ancient Anasazi settlement near Mesa Verde in southwestern Colorado, where archaeologists came upon butchered human bones and stone cutting tools stained with human blood. A ceramic cooking pot held residues of human tissues. But the most telling of the evidence was found in human feces: biochemical tests revealed clear traces of digested human muscle protein in the dried coprolite, or fossilized prehistoric feces.

''Analysis of the coprolite and associated remains at last provides definitive evidence for sporadic cannibalism in the Southwest,'' Dr. Brian R. Billman, an archaeologist at the University of North Carolina, said yesterday in an announcement of the discovery.
