A "light machine gum" (LMG) is one which can (if necessary) be carried and operated by one person.  "Assault rifle" is a generic term for a rifle which has the capability of laying down a base of fire in automatic bursts (usually of three to five rounds per discharge).  A "carbine" is a small rifle designed for use as a "secondary" arm for a combatant whose principal weapon is something other than the carbine OR as the principal defense weapon of a noncombatant.

SECTION 22. RIGHT TO ARMS Subject only to the police power, the right of the individual citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. http://www.ilga.gov/commission/lrb/con1.htm\n\nSection 22 means that citizens have the right to own guns but that right is not absoulte (i.e., they can't own any type of gun or do anything they want with it) because the right is limited by the state's "police powers".  Police powers include licensing, inspection, zoning, safety regulations (which cover a lot of territory), quarantines, and working conditions as well as law enforcement. In short, police powers are the basis of a host of state regulatory statutes.

Buying a gun.  Peace through strength.  If I have a gun, and ammo, and people know I have a gun, with ammo, I am more likely to be ignored by an evil doer, and am capable of coming to the aid of good people in need.

Why is a liberal labeled as such?  A liberal wants to do away with the 2nd Amendment, and limit how average citizens can protect themselves and their property against criminals. Sounds limiting to me, instead of how the word is supposed to mean.

Quoting: "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence."\n\nWhat it means is that states must have electoral processes to pick an executive and a legislature -- these cannot be hereditary, or the result of winning a lotter (though elections often seem like it).\n\nThe domestic violence clause allows the states to call for federal assistance if there is armed revolt against the state govt. \n\nThe invasion clause makes the federal govt responsible for ensuring that hostile forces do not invade (attack), and at an invasion of any state is an invasion of the country. \n\nWhile I see your point, neither of these has any bearing on the immigration issue. We're not seeing immigrants rolling in with tanks and assault rifles. So, it's not a military invasion. \n\nWhat you're really talking about is the Article I power to regulate when and how private individuals can come into the country. And the federal government has exclusive authority to do that.

he means one action can turn something around and make it the opposite of what it is. Like when they made it legal in some areas to carried guns,that was meant so that people can protect themselves that just make crime increase.

Can you describe the gun?

I own guns and have for about 50 years and none of them have ever harmed another human or myself. I use them for sport and exercize. I do not think that I or my guns need controled. However if I was to use them for ill will then I think that I could expect to receive maxamum puninishment for doing so. In other words guns do not harm humans, humans harm humans. I do think the laws ought to be geared toward that.

The main context was the right to form militias and protect themselves from the "Government" not directly you have the right to have a firearm.  The reason is at the time it was not imaginable that you would NOT have a right to own firearms.  The reason for the 2nd amendment was to ensure that the new citizens of the US had the right to form militias without fear of prejudice from the government to disban them.

It has to do with the Second Amendment giving ONLY the states and NOT the Federal Government the right to regulate a militia and to the extension of gun ownership.  \n\nAmendment II \n\nA well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
