@TomiLahren @SecMullinDHS Correct, but don’t hold your breath.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@DailySignal Marxism and communism are the same thing. Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto. Socialism is communism “lite.”

Marxism/communism and Islam seek world domination. You noted some of their other shared traits.

@newtgingrich Catch up, Newt. They already are.

@Copybookfan @gunpolicy Stop being a wanna-be know-it-all pest.

Sequence of the rifles:

1. Select-fire AR.-15

2. Adoption by mil as M16

3. Colt introduces semi-auto variant, using AR-15 name.

AW bans (which my article is about) ban #3.

Now, go bother someone else.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@punished688 @Copybookfan @gunpolicy No. He’s wrong and so are you. Read my reply to his time-wasting comment and you’ll see why.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@Copybookfan @gunpolicy No. The article is about what SCOTUS should do on AW bans. In that context, AR-15 means the semi-auto variant states have banned.

I said THAT AR-15 is descended from the M16 (instead of original AR) bc Heller said M16.

Give it up. You’re not as smart as you think you are.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@Copybookfan @gunpolicy That’s what I said at the outset:

The first AR-15 was select fire, eventually adopted by the military as the M16.

Colt then put “AR-15” on its semi-auto variant.

And therefore, as I said, THAT AR-15 is descended from the M16.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@Copybookfan @gunpolicy Not the same AR-15.

The first AR-15 was the select fire rifle eventually adopted by the military as the M16.

Thereafter, Colt put the AR-15 name on a semi-auto-only variant. That is what we today call an AR-15.

@gunpolicy Echoes of industry support for the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the (not altogether bad) Firearms Owners Ptotection Act of 1986.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@gunpolicy The amendment doesn’t protect suppressors, guns, etc.

It protects the right to keep and bear them. It’s strange how lawyers have adopted the practice of saying the amendment protects objects.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@gunpolicy Muskets, blunderbusses, and pistols were not banned in the founding era, and semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and pistols are among the lineal descendants of those earlier weapons.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@TomiLahren Not a mandate, but cardboard “fans” in the bleachers at televised major league baseball games took stupidity to another level.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@FarmBeagle @reason Not if you read my last paragraph.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@AAGDhillon @NewsNation @CivilRights Harmeet - Brilliant: putting the skepticism-expressing parentheses around “assault” instead of “assault weapons.”

It disparages the “assault” characterization while emphasizing that weapons are within the rkba, which emphasizes the rkba’s nature and the reason for the 2A.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@RandyEBarnett If they overturn the bans, will it be for the right reasons?

@HarmeetKDhillon “Under Pam Bondi’s (so-called) leadership,” the DOJ endorses the NFA’s restrictions on SBRs and suppressors, by ignoring the nature and scope of the right to arms, and the purpose for which the Second Amendment protects it.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@HarmeetKDhillon Be honest. DOJ is not entirely pro-Second Amendment. In a recent brief, Solicitor General Bauer endorsed the NFA’s restrictions on SBRs, suppressors, etc., apparently failing to understand the purpose for which the amendment was adopted.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@HarmeetKDhillon Sorry, but “under A.G. Pam Bondi’s leadership,” y’all get an F-minus where Sauer’s brief in support of NFA restrictions on SBRs etc. is concerned.

[Mark Overstreet @PanoplyTactical]

@HarmeetKDhillon @CivilRights Except that “common use” is an illegitimate standard and, if not rejected, will eventually be used to eviscerate the right to arms.
