I will say this: at least that’s fairly consistent with the idea that the purpose of the armed populace is to be able to fight the army should it turn against them. If that is really what you think the 2nd amendment means, I don’t see why you’d draw the line even at rocket launchers. Surely, mortars, tanks, planes and more are all needed for people to stand even the remotest of chances against the most well-equipped army in the world?

Well, what do you mean by “bear”? I can hold them in my arms and that is bearing. But one could, theoretically speakin, shoot them out of their v-jay-jay. Would that count as bearing? LOL It makes as much sense as Scalia’s logic, amiright?

A friend of mine who is deeply into spirituality has this favorite saying””Those that God will destroy he must first make them mad.” To be honest I still don’t get the full import of her statement. But listening to Antonin,Scalia, a sitting Supreme Court Justice, mouthing off that the right to bear arms may well include possessing “hand-held rocket launchers” makes me think that this country, including some of the most revered leaders, is going mad over this gun issue. So, what’s to prevent some crazy person from firing his “hand held rocket” to bring down planes?

Slowly but surely, belief in the right to own guns is quickly surpassing belief in God. The greatest irony, of course, is the fact that many of the so called Christians, who believe in Jesus the Christ — sometimes called the Prince of Peace– are the most ardent and passionate believers in guns.

I can’t believe our taxes go to paying this fuckwit instead of repairing infrastructure.

You can pry my weaponized anthrax from my cold, dead, pus-excreting hand.

I can’t bear Scalia. Therefore, he has no Constitutional right to exist. Be gone, I say!

In reply to muselet. Those would be the same Righty circles who, according to Paul Krugman, consider Newt Gingrich to be smart.

As someone mentioned (I can’t remember where), one can also bear a suitcase nuke.
