32 Henry Ossawa Tanner was a black American painter from the mid/late 19th century. He is considered a Realist, the same movement as yesterday's submission. In America, his art focused on the real life of freed Blacks and sharecroppers. He later moved to Europe where he found most of his success. As a Black American artist in Europe, he was considered an exotic curiosity.

83 I see some Morons took exception to mye definition of arms as it related to the 2nd amendment. So here is "Blacks Law Dctionary" to put this to bed.

What is ARMS?

Anything that a man wears for his defense, or takes in his hands, or
uses in his anger, to cast at or strike at another. Co. Litt. 1616,
162a; State v. Buzzard, 4 Ark. 18. This term, as it Is used in the
constitution, relative to the right of citizens to bear arms, refers to
the arms of a militiaman or soldier, and the word is used in its
military sense. The arms of the infantry soldier are the musket and
bayonet; of cavalry and dragoons, the sabre, holster pistols, and
carbine; of the artillery, the field-piece, siegegun, and mortar, with
side arms. The term, in this connection, cannot be made to cover such
weapons as dirks, daggers, slung-shots, sword- canes, brass knuckles,
and bowieknives.

These are not military arms. English v. State, 35 Tex.
476, 14 Am. Rep. 374; Hill v. State, 53 Ga. 472; Fife v. State, 31 Ark.
455, 25 Am. Rep. 556; Andrews v. State, 3 Heisk. (Tenn.) 170, 8 Am. Rep.
8; Aymette v. State, 2 Humph. (Tenn.) 154. Arms, or coat of arms,
signifies insignia, i. e., ensigns of honor, such as were formerly
assumed by soldiers of fortune, and painted on their shields to
distinguish them; or nearly the same as armorial bearings, (q. v.)[i/]

Why not distinguish that in the text of the amendment then?

Hi, folks. If you have a prayer request for yourself or others please submit it to me by 4:30 p.m. EST tonight. Please note new time. I have something I have to do both tonight and tomorrow hence the earlier time for submission. Thanks and may God bless you for praying! A big thank also to Oregon Muse for including prayer requests on his Wednesday daily rant . Please note-next Tuesday is Christmas Day so I will not be submitting prayer requests for that week

My Black's (6th Ed.) says "Arms: Anything that a man wears for his defense, or takes in his hands as a weapon."

It say that in the first paragraph above. But it follows that up with how it applies to the 2nd amendment which basically says "fire arms".

115 Does your hygienist also ask you questions right before sticking their hands in your mouth?

Mine thinks it's a joke. She has a sick sense of humor. And sharp tools.

The dental practice I go to is mostly women dentists and technicians. One of the dentists is this petite little blond woman, who thinks she is Stevie Nicks. She likes to sing when she is working. She will actually ask you if you mind if she sings. And so your mouth is full of stuff and you say "argle bargle bargle" and then she goes "Great!" and starts to sing. She actually doesn't have a bad voice, it's just kind of high comedy in the dental suite.

No doubt that our Constitution suffers from excessive verbosity. But then again, no matter how simple the language, somebody would pervert it to mean whatever they wish it to mean.

139 I suspect when the founders wrote the 2nd amendment that everyday people carrying guns was so common they had not idea that any government in the colonies would try to ban guns for law abiding citizens so they were not as careful with the language.

But even at that the language is still clear, the right to own and carry "arms" shall not be abridged. That means that no law (federal at the time) shall be written that lessens that right. Which is why I say ALL firearms laws are unconstitutional and therefore illegal.

Up until the 30s you could have done that legally. But the liberals have slowly whittled away at the second amendment that it has become virtually worthless. Now they are calling it "common sense gun control" which interpreted correctly for "liberal speak" means no guns at all for you and me.

At least I didn't have to deal with the dentist today. I'm convinced the guy must be used to working on constrictor snakes, because he is constantly telling me to open my mouth "a little wider". I'd have to f*cking unhinge my jaw to open it wider.

177 As to the Flynn sentencing, I'd like to see dismissal of charges and investigation of the investigators (as Judge Sullivan did in the Ted Stevens case).

Looking at the 302 and the surrounding context, as known (dates, actions, internal comms of the investigators), I would think this would be quite reasonable. But I have zero detailed background on sentencing matters, and normal procedures in cases of tainted prosecutions.

But if the general construct is seen by Sullivan as - Flynn coerced into plea despite there being no crime, by pressure on unrelated matters - as I see it, then dismissal seems reasonable. Not all plea-bargaining goes against common sense, fairness, or justice. In cases where there is a list of related crimes all inherent in the overall criminal act, then plea bargains can be reasonable tools to punish the guilty while saving the public $$$ or risk of acquittal.

But the Flynn case appears to be the opposite of this. Manufacturing a crime, then coercing a guilty plea to it by threatening action in totally unrelated areas, all in pursuit of crimes for which there never has been a shred of evidence, by a special prosecutor's office established contrary to DOJ regulations (no predicate of any criminal action).

Yes, they are and there really isn't much question about it. Gun control laws - for the most part - came into being in the post civil war era as attempts to disarm former slaves. They were the first of the Jim Crow laws written. A Jim Crow law is one which claims to be able to take Constitutional rights away from people. Gun control laws are the only Jim Crow laws still in effect.

Yes, they are and there really isn't much question about it. Gun control laws - for the most part - came into being in the post civil war era as attempts to disarm former slaves.

Gun control laws came into affect in the 30s due to Chicago gangland corruption. It had nothing to do with Jim Crow. State and local gun control varied a LOT and was dependent on who the big local boss was.

But "incorporation" should have ended all of that and didn't because the liberal judges only "incorporated rights that they liked.

312 More than 400,000 essential government employees could be forced to stay on the job throughout a government shutdown - even if they'd already planned to take holiday vacations.

A quirk of federal law says paid leave is considered government spending, and since no unauthorized spending can happen during a funding lapse, no one can take vacation.

The silver lining, though, is that government workers could be eligible for double pay should the shutdown last long enough to make them miss a paycheck, thanks to a federal judge's ruling earlier this decade.

I think that probably had more to do with the slavs trying to get as much performance as possible out of the anemic Nagant cartridge, which I suspect was designed to be used for shooting kneeling revolutionaries in the back of the neck.

They werent design for suppressor use. The design dates to 1895. It was never issued with a threaded barrel and the is a fixed blade sight at the end of the barrel.

Now.... you can retro fit one to accept a suppressor, but that wasnt a design feature.

The forward camming cylinder was designed to direct ALL of the gasses down the barrel, improving cartridge performance.

I think that probably had more to do with the slavs trying to get as much performance as possible out of the anemic Nagant cartridge, which I suspect was designed to be used for shooting kneeling revolutionaries in the back of the neck.

Ironically, its main use turned out to be BY revolutionaries, shooting kneeling Kulaks in the back of the neck.

In 1902, the first successful, commercially available suppressor was invented by Hiram Percy Maxim. Maxim was an American inventor, graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and son of Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim - inventor of the first portable, fully automatic machine gun: the Maxim Gun.

Just because Black said that doesn't make it so, any more than calling a tail a leg makes it a leg.
According to Black a rifle is not a military weapon because he mentioned musket only.
Nun-chucks were used by the Chinese for military weapons far before Black lived. They were used as late as the Boxer rebellion.

Why does everyone persist in assigning a particular designation to arms, as is NOT designated in the 2nd Amendment?
There is nothing in that text describing what specifically is meant by arms.

Nor is there any designation as to WHO shall keep and bear, other than "the people".

Is that terribly hard to understand?
