A thread of 2A citations.
Most are 18th/19th century cites showing 2A to be an individual Right, but some are 20th century and some show the militia to be comprised of all citizens and some are oddballs.
Starting with: the militia isn't just American..

You can now find all six of the SAF factsheets I've created, and any that get posted in the future, on this page.
These are useful references for some of the most common topics that arise in the gun policy debate, with many more to come. They all include their sources so you can check my work.
So far we've covered:
1. How antigunners were hilariously wrong on all of their post-Bruen predictions of doom;
2. How California adds huge expense to exercising the Second Amendment;
3. Debunking the "leading cause of death for kids" stat the antigunners love to cite;
4. How Americans with carry permits are the most law-abiding demographic around;
5. A one-pager comparing the proposed burdens of the SAVE Act (called "Jim Crow 2.0" by its opponents) with the much more severe burdens of getting a carry permit in New York City;
6. How murder has fallen faster in the US than in Canada, even though they banned handgun sales while we expanded carry rights.

Debate me Jake.
As a Marine and dad, I’m voting Yes on 9 to keep assault weapons off our streets.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It is federally illegal per 18usc922 to have a firearm, including a stripped lower, from being shipped to your house. What he has shown, is already a federal felony and has been for nearly 60 years.

I had to read this 5 times to convince myself it wasn't a parody account.
It's not a parody account.
Europe has fallen.

Organizing my cache of gun parts, doing some oiling where necessary, labeling them..
And realized I'm using my dad's gun oil that I grabbed when I got his deer rifle.
The oil can is probably early 70's, and still quite full.
Now feeling nostalgic.
To all who went before🫡
In 1774, the Minute Men formed in Massachusetts.
To fight tyranny. With personally owned weapons of war.
In 2026, Massachusetts says nobody is allowed to resist future tyranny.
Massachusetts has become General Gage.

"You don't shoot looters with machineguns"
1) You don't know your history.
2) People have been shot for far less.
3) Doesn't have to be machineguns.
4) Batons? Pfffft... Looting ranks up with home invasions.
You absolutely don't want or need this kind of weapon in that situation.
In a 10/7 situation yes yes yes.
In a Mohammed Merah situation yes yes yes.
You don't shoot looters with machine guns.
Allo the shopkeepers to band together to hire a private police that will actually fight. With batons.
And there can be a second line with guns if they fail to hold the line. But they don't go first.
No one will get looted.
In today's edition of: "Why would anybody need more than 10 rounds?"
El dueño de una tienda de anime en Francia compartió el video de seguridad que muestra cómo saquearon su negocio de 29 años durante las recientes protestas en París.
El comerciante explicó que no pudo hacer nada para detenerlos porque eran demasiados, lamentando que el trabajo de toda su vida quedó destruido en cuestión de minutos tras ver cómo vaciaban los estantes de mercancía y mangas.
Gun Control advocates ABSOLUTELY adopted the term "assault weapon" to mean scary black semiauto guns.
HUNDREDS of different weapons had been considered assault weapons prior to Gun Control groups adopting it.
I've got so many examples from bows and arrows up to nukes..
The fact that somebody used the term for scary black guns inside the gun industry doesn't mean the gun industry redefined the term to ONLY MEAN SCARY BLACK GUNS.
Didn't happen.
They also called SBG (Scary Black Guns) assault rifles, incorrectly, sometimes.
Plumbing..
A thread, for your enjoyment.

I can't count how many times I've had Europeans in the last month ask why the USA still has the 2nd Amendment.
"It's from the 1700's! Maybe it was needed then, but it's not needed now!"
And.. well.. They provided an example.
Poor folks, screwed over by the gov't. All Alone.

In 1997, a hero managed to escape from New York..
In 2013, a hero managed to escape from Los Angeles..
In 2027, how will it turn out?
Tune in this winter to watch the new blockbuster....
Here we have a true Genius. With a capital "G".
Says the 1994 drop in homicides was due to the federal Assault Weapons Ban.
Even tho:
1) Semiauto rifles were never banned, only cosmetic features on them
2) Only 2% or so of murders ever involved scary black guns
"G"enius
Tho that whole thread was started by another genius..
Who wants to tell him that the 30% of states with lowest murder rates every year is dominated by states with high gun ownership and few gun laws?
I don't think he knows this.
