Reply to comment by Indy_420 in Man claims self-defense in Providence landlord homicide by Rogue-Island-Pirate

Super seeds? Are those what they’re growing down the street from me and the federal government is doing nothing about it?

Any state can ban any type of firearm, it doesn’t matter if there’s an amendment about it or not. If you think otherwise, go buy a fully automatic m16 in RI and we’ll see how that plays out.

Laws change over time, the right to bear arms to fight a tyrannical government was a tad bit different back then. You’re saying musk, , North Korea, the Chinese, and saudis should be able to buy 100 acres in Nebraska, and start building thermonuclear weapons in the middle of the country and that’s totally fine because in America everyone has the god given right to bear arms? Bit different than the musket on musket warfare the amendment was made for, no?

Just fucking say you like guns and wanna shoot ‘em, that’s a totally valid reason to like em. The whole “there should be no limits to people arming themselves, chemical weapons are totally fine. If musk straps a nuke to his rocket, that’s totally cool”

The entire idea of “any weapons laws are an infringement on my god given rights” is just fucking absurd and clearly not how the law was intended. We didn’t have chemical weapons in 1776.

You can’t get a tax stamp in RI… for example, we’re all screwed here when that pistol brace rule goes into effect. No way for us to register like in many other states.
