   Yup. Libel, slander, lying under oath, yelling “fire” in a crowd…all crimes punishable by laws that abridge the First Amendment.

   The 2nd Amendment was written about militias which we really don’t have unless you count the ad hoc militias we have now. Not sanctioned.

   If you don’t yell “fire” in a crowded place that is burning is just as much a crime as yelling “fire” falsely in said theater.

   And the purpose of the militias were to protect against a tyrannical gub’ment taking away liberties.

   In Georgia, a generation before the American Revolution, laws were passed in 1755 and 1757 that required all plantation owners or their male white employees to be members of the Georgia Militia, and for those armed militia members to make monthly inspections of the quarters of all slaves in the state. The law defined which counties had which armed militias and even required armed militia members to keep a keen eye out for slaves who may be planning uprisings.
   .
   As Dr. Carl T. Bogus wrote for the University of California Law Review in 1998, “The Georgia statutes required patrols, under the direction of commissioned militia officers, to examine every plantation each month and authorized them to search ‘all Negro Houses for offensive Weapons and Ammunition’ and to apprehend and give twenty lashes to any slave found outside plantation grounds.”

    Uh, Night Gaunt 49: the states do have sanctioned militias today, they’re called, the National Guard, administered by the states, unless called up for federal service. Which, the first really big call up was for Iraq and Afghanistan, even in Viet Nam, hardly any guard members served in combat, which was why so many guys joined their guard units.

    The jug-eared tyrant—a carbon copy of which appears throughout history—is less obnoxious than the low-information voters who put him where he never belonged.

    No they weren’t. You will find they were used to put down rebellion. Study your history.

    @dtroutma

    Uh, why are you telling me that? I know. These guys are talking about ad hoc militias and there are hundreds not sanctioned by any government. That is what I was speaking of.
