![]() ![]() But you will never hear this same crowd of leftists compare the weaponry held by our military in the 1700s to the weaponry they have today. push to ban certain firearms on the mere basis that they resemble military weapons. ![]() And when James Madison wrote Federalist 46, celebrating the fact the Americans possessed arms with which they could bind themselves together and repel a tyranny, the arms they would use were muskets i.e., “weapons of war” in the late 1700s.įormer SEAL Team 3 member Eli Crane put it this way: Well, guess what? Muskets were in common use for civilians and military alike. Keep in mind–another long-running leftist diatribe is that the Second Amendment only protects muskets because muskets were the firearms in common use when the Second Amendment was ratified. Namely, that “weapons of war” were civilian firearms when the Second Amendment was ratified on December 15, 1791. Regardless of these stark differences between AR-15s and M-16s/M4s, news commentators like Joe Scarborough and leftist politicians like Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke continue to describe AR-15s as “weapons of war.” And Scarborough–and others of his ilk–then go on to say the Second Amendment does not protect “weapons of war.” ![]() ![]() This means the M-16 and M4 can shoot as many bullets as are in a magazine with one pull of the trigger. On the hand, an M-16 and M4 are designed for warfare and each is equipped with a select fire switch that allows the gun to shoot in full-auto mode. Suffice it to say, they are not “weapons of war.” Rather, they are semiautomatic rifles that fire one round with each pull of the trigger. This is an important point for many reasons, not the least of which is the decades long contention that AR-15s and other commonly owned semiautomatic firearms are excluded from Second Amendment protections because the left has labeled them “weapons of war.” ![]()
