In other words,criminals who do not want to be caught are constitutionally allowed to not register firearms?

Registration allows the authorities to work out where the guns which are used for crimes are COMING FROM, so that the suppliers to criminal gangs can be held accountable for their actions.

That is why gun manufacturers spend so much on fighting gun registration. Because criminals are BIG CUSTOMERS.

Shay's was deemed to be a symptom of failure of a lack of strong Central Government for people to have their grievances heard and therefore lead to the forming of the Constitutional Congress. Which in turn gave us the Bill of Rights.

Nope, not a word about the Constitution allowing for an insurrection, but a certainly outlines that Militias are for quashing them.

The issue isn't that you have a gun, it's the threats that are being made against the legal order, (ie "2nd Amendment remedies").

Jefferson's quote about the "Tree of Liberty" is about the Shay's rebellion. Hamilton who penned the 2nd felt that everyone involved in the Shay's was to be executed for insurrection.

U.S. Constitution Article 1 Section 8:

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

Liberal rhetoric. These liberals won't be satisfied until we are under their complete control.

What they also did not discuss is people have the right to defend themselves.

[Joseph565112]

The right of the People is a clear statement, it means the People, geniuses.

Further, a militia is simply impossible without armed civilians....duh.

What's next, are we going to debate the quickest route to a point on a map?.....oh yeah, it's a straight line......8th grade geometry anyone?
