Heard matthew mcconaughey floated the idea of a gubernatorial bid. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...tric-actor-is-considering-it/ar-BB1ewwqw just remember this if he does run. “In 2018, he appeared in a March for Our Lives rally where he endorsed the group and gun control. He also openly backs the ‘assault weapons’ and ‘high capacity’ magazine bans.”
“One, let’s ban the assault weapons for civilians. This is a no-brainer,” he declared. “And to my friends out there, that are responsible owners of these assault weapons that they use for recreation, please let’s take one for the team and set it down.” https://libertyconservativenews.com...vernor-would-not-be-good-for-gun-rights/and i don't care if he is a Longhorn

I actually agree with mcconaghey.. Assault weapons should be banned. Thankfully an AR is not considered an Assault weapon unless it is full auto. I wonder if he actually knows this?
GO TRUMP!

The right to bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
The whole militia thing gets non gun owners confused, they think it means the military or a standing militia...the citizens in the day were the militia. We have to take the words in proper context for what they were written. The militia was the citizenry, and the guns they owned at the time could have been better than what the british military had...there goes the argument about citizens not needing “military grade” weapons.

Yes, to my knowledge assault weapons (full auto) are banned. That makes the AR-15 just another semi-auto like the old Ruger, etc. On the Second Amendment, back when W and Gore were running for President, Gore said he didn't have a problem with a firearm for small game like birds and rabbits. The "well regulated" militia means we are focusing on firearms suitable for defending America. Just because the government may oversee the militia in ABSOLUTELY NO WAY means the government issues the firearms. One of the first pieces of legislation the Congress passed under the Constitution was the Uniform Militia Acts of 1792 and 1793 that REQUIRED you to report to militia duty with YOUR OWN suitable musket or rifle plus ammunition. There's the big argument about a "collective" right because the word "People" is used rather than person, so was an individual right recognized? An individual right absolutely exists under the 9th and 10th amendment because it existed at the time the Constitution was enacted but in the Second Amendment former Chief Justice Burger made this "Leap in Logic" that since people was used then it is a "collective" right and a "Collective right" then means the government. How you logically get there escapes me. In any event my contention is the government can probably look to ONE PERSON. Joe Smith in California wants to buy a gun so the government wants a criminal background check. Well does that effect everyone else in America from buying or keeping their firearms? Not really. The background check reveals Joe Smith was found guilty of murder and by DUE PROCESS of law was barred from owning firearms (Years ago Joe would have just been hung). So "People" If a law says NO ONE in New York City can own a firearm. There is no due process denying a right, it is a categorical disarming of every citizen. That's PEOPLE and in my opinion that law would be absolutely unconstitutional. It infringes on the People. Article 1, Section 8 gives Congress the power to arm, discipline, train the militia. That's what gave them the authority to pass the Uniform Militia Acts. If "Only" people suitable for serving in the militia have this right to keep and bear arms, beyond infringement.

Full Auto is NOT banned. They are regulated through the National Firearms Act (NFA).
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Full Auto is NOT banned. They are regulated through the National Firearms Act (NFA). Sans the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of modern automatics. They effectively banned automatics and grandfathered existing. Let's call it gray area

I am OK with full autos being an NFA item and being mostly unavailable to the normal public. Let the Dems think they are doing something by keeping military weapons' out of the public s hands. Although it says not to be infringed we all know that there are some rules and regulations so lets keep those rules and regulations to make the Dems happy. Sometimes you have to give a little to get a lot.
GO TRUMP!
