As the Founders Intended

This is probably a little overstated. But I think we are still on track for my vision of seeing machine gun competitions in high schools by 2032 being realized.

  1. Some fifteen years ago I saw Alan Gura speak on post- Heller goals and realities. The one thing he said that absolutely was pie in the sky was, full auto.

    Not counting any chickens, but it, at least, seems with the realm of possibility.

    • Mark Smith is also of the opinion that full auto is currently out of the question. I say, give it a few more years and see what happens. FRTs will be close enough for all practical matters.

  3. There is an argument that the single most powerful weapon of war at the time of the founding was the “ship of the line”.

    The Founding Fathers were aware and unworried about private ownership of “ships of the line”.

    There’s really very little to talk about, Constitutionally speaking, about whether the Founding Fathers would have limited ownership of machine guns. The answer is a clear and resounding NO.

    Considering the weapons that were offered to them for sale during the Revolutionary War, this isn’t really a hypothetical.

  5. Now can we finally start talking about self defense law?

    Self defense is not an alleviating factor that gets a slayer a lesser sentence. It is an absolute negation of the crime. If it was self defense, you should be treated as if your ending of his life is no more legally consequential than buying a tall can of beer at the local 7/11.

    And because our law also says that you are innocent until proven guilty, you shouldn’t have to prove that the slaying was self defense. A court of criminal law should have to prove it wasn’t.

    It shouldn’t matter if you expressed glee at his death. You should be able to walk unless they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was not self defense.
