"We need modern weapons to contend with modern weapons in our time. "
You expect to fight gangs of criminals, all while minding your own business? |

Actually according to the constitution able bodied men already are a militia. I really wish dufuses would read the constitution.

You may or may not need assault weapons, but either way you insist on your right to own them?
You've decided that if the most modern weapons of the time were not a threat to a neighborhood in 1790, then the most modern weapons of 2013 are also not a threat to a neighborhood? |

Under the Second Amendment, could Congress create one or more citizen militias and then require anyone who wants to own a gun to join?

I can and do determine what my needs are for survival and comfort. I make these decisions all the time, but not even I can decide what my rights are under the constitution. That was done long ago and has been affirmed and interpreted by the SCOTUS many times since then.
Need does not equate with rights. Need does not determine rights. Rights do not determine needs. |

I have seen the words murder and homicide used in here as if the mean the same thing. They do not interchange.
Now we are talking about the words "need" and "right". The second amendment does not define my needs about arms, it defines my rights to keep and bear arms. That is exactly what this overall discussion is all about. What you think I need has no bearing at all on what are our individuals rights are as granted in the second amendment. |

And what has any of that to do with claiming you need assault weapons, in case you need to take on the US Government?
