In Stan's case, he has been here since this started due to his profession as a firearms historian and the place where the Grendel fits in as a intermediate cartridge.
Doesn't necessarily mean he believes the 2A guarantees our right to keep and bear arms. And he doesn't.

What I've said is that the purpose of the 2A was to guarantee that members of State militias would have access to standard military weapons. Since the old State militia system was abandoned long ago, the original purpose is no longer relevant.
However, as written, the 2A does not specify that only military weapons are protected, so in theory, the 2A should guarantee the right to keep and bear all types of arms. In reality, it does not. And indeed, most "pro-2A" people do not want it to.

LR1955 Wrote:So if someone is going to post a pro 2A comment on the forum, expect Stan to disagree.Depends on whether the comment is something I agree with or not. Contrary to popular opinion, I don't disagree with everything.
