If the limitations on our right to bear arms are explicitly defined, then lets hear from you what those limitations are?

"Whatever limits might be placed on our right to weapons of self-defense are extremely narrow and explicitly defined in the decision itself."

Have you bothered looking at the decision beyond the out-of-context pull-quote you lifted from some anti-gun nutter's blog?

I'm asking you what the extremely narrow, explicitly defined limitations are MM? If you don't know specifics, then at least tell us what you think that phrase means in general. Does it mean that assault weapons can not be banned or what exactly?

Translation: "No, I have not bothered to read the decision for myself."

First if all, your question was already answered in a previous post. And second, I refuse to engage any further with someone who is so wilfully and aggressively uninformed.

Oh, he's just out there indicting people for money laundering, identity theft, wire fraud, bankruptcy fraud, violations of FEC and FARA, perjury and obstruction of justice.

So sweet of you to ask.

What happened to Don Jr and meeting with lawyer? You should get off Trump-Russia conspiracy theory already!

There are none so blind as they who will not see. Although in your case Demi, I understand the criminality of the Trump administration is exactly what you had hoped for when interfering with U.S. election.

Yeah that's what I have to do with JimL too. He just pretends you never answered him and keeps repeating himself. Everyday is Groundhog Day with Jiml. Either he is just trolling or he has alzheimer's. I just link him back to the start of the loop and leave it at that.

Jim, MM answered this a few days ago. It's in his post #1050 where he highlighted the wording he thought important. Here it is again,

nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.

Yes, I read it. I asked MM to tell us in his own words what it means because he, like CP and Sparko, obviously doesn't understand it. That's why Tweb disallows arguing by link. It's fine to cite it, but if it doesn't explicitly support your argument, and you can't explain in what sense that it does, then it's a meaningless post.

I don't really see how MM could get much more explicit (except maybe explaining what he thinks the second paragraph means), or why he should. His bolding of the sentences that he thought defined the limitation, do, in fact, define the limitation. There's not much more to add.

Looks like you're the only struggling with this, Jim.

Here's the part MM neglected to bold:

Miller said, as we have explained, that the sorts of weapons protected were those in common use at the time. We think that limitation is fairly supported by the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.
