Question on Constitutional Law

I am soured on Wayne La Pierre's group, but there are dozens more.

Ya mean the same group that just got a TRO against state sponsored firearms seizures...what a bunch of ineffective panty waists!

First they'll try to ban our guns, and then they will try to butcher our guns, and then the remainder of our rights. And then us.

Do you honestly think your fellow americans are a bunch of genocidal freakzoids who will just up and bustle us into camps?

But if California banned CCW, or banned 50 caliber rifles, or something of that nature, then I think that would be their own intrastate affair.

But the miitia might need 50 cal rifles. My brother has one, and has shot it through a good sized truck axle. I don't have any guns that will do that. Sometimes, you just need a bigger gun... :D
 
States can make more restrictive laws, but cannot implement lesser laws.

... maybe a better example would have been to say that a State might ban .25 pocket pistols without disarming the militia.

What's so crazy is that the US should tell the States that they cannot ban guns which are "militia weapons" ... and instead the US is the one trying to ban "militia weapons" by calling them "assault weapons".

There was a Supreme Court case shortly after the NFA, in which the opinion of the court was the second amendment didn't apply to the case because a short barreled shotgun didn't have any use in the military. According to that logic a Thompson would have been protected by the second amendment, because it was commonly used in the military?
 
Now We're Thinking!

I think a State might pass a law prohibiting the carrying of a concealed Thompson, or something like that, but ... gosh, I've never thought about this ... has any State ever tried to ban ownership of "machine guns"?
