Skinheads and supremacist types . . . I think I kinda know what you're talking about, not having any real contact with them. I live a bigger city . . . the largest in my state. I've seem movies about large areas with small populations . . . that have lots of areas where certain groups can find seclusion away from the many.
I am aware of the Ruby Ridge and Waco incidents! The term 'Patriot' has been slandered over the many years . . . but, as a true patriot, I would never fall under these extremist type groups! Skinheads and supremacist types may present themselves as standing up for what's right and true . . . but they are deluded into believing they are in the right.
It would be interesting to know if you are or were employed in the law enforcement part of society. It would give more credence to your comments in this.

Just take a look at how successful gun control is in Democratic-controlled cities.
Then what right do you want to eliminate next?
The right to bear arms is a common good.

That’s right. Just look at Chicago and Baltimore. Two of the Cities with the toughest gun control laws in the country. Liberals have great intentions, with terrible unintended consequences. Why would we want to subject the entire country to more stupidity like those two cities have already proved their policies to be?

You chose a poor example to refute my assertion than armed law abiding citizens are not a danger to innocent bystanders.
1) Treyvon was not an innocent bystander who was accidentally shot while Zimmerman was attempting to stop someone else in the act of committing a crime.
2) Zimmerman wasn't simply an armed citizen who just happened upon a crime in progress, but rather someone who had been assigned a quasi law enforcement roll by his neighborhood watch community. He also was studying criminal justice. And he had worked closely with law enforcement.
3) Zimmerman's wounds are evidence of a physical altercation before he used his gun.

To take your local situation and assume the same is true for rural communities as a whole, is narrow minded. Nor would my rural area be the norm nationwide as my county is on our southern border. But I find it interesting that a rural community can have so many sheriffs that they could habitually sit and wait for back-up with assurance that back-up won't have to travel an hour or more to reach them. If you hadn't specified rural, your description would have led me to conclude this was an urban setting. In fact, skinhead gangs generally operate in urban settings.

Actually, Zimmerman was returning to his vehicle when Martin viciously attacked him. Zimmerman was down, Martin on top of him beating his head against the sidewalk, broke his nose and split open his scalp. Who ya gonna call? How about a 9mm Kel-Tec PF-9 pistol?
The pathologist agreed with Zimmerman's account of the beating.

Yup. Here are photos taken at the scene.

What you say about Reagan is true.
However, that meme by occupydemocrats is pretty silly.
The founders were brilliant men. Do gun grabbers honestly expect us to believe that with the foresight they showed in crafting the Constitution that none foresaw the development of guns that would hold more than one bullet?

They already had guns which could. There was the Belton repeating arms musket. Belton wrote, “I have discovered an improvement, in the use of Small Armes, wherein a common small arm, may be maid to discharge eight balls one after another, in eight, five or three seconds of time.”
Another relatively rapid fire weapon was the Ferguson Rifle invented by British officer, Major Patrick Ferguson. The Ferguson Rifle was a flint lock, but it was breech loading rather than the standard muzzle-loaded rifle. It could fire up to seven rounds per minute, two to three times faster that the muzzle-loading weapons of the day. Using the Ferguson Rifle, light infantry troops could continue loading and firing without breaking cover, even when lying prone. This rifle was used by the British against the Americans
The Girandoni air rifle was an airgun designed by Tyrolian inventor Bartholomäus Girandoni. This rifle had a lethal combat range of 125 to 150 yards. It had the advantage of a high rate of fire, no smoke from propellants, and low muzzle report. It had a detachable magazine containing 19 rounds of ammunition.
They also had machine guns:
*The Puckle Gun (very similar to the later Gatlin Gun) was created 60 years before the writing of our constitution.
*Pepper box revolvers could hold up to 20 rounds was invented hundreds of years before the writing of our constitution.

Do you include privately owned canons as single shot guns? A letter from Madison (can't remember which other founder it was to) which praised militia members who had their own canons.

I must have missed the news stories of mass shootings with AK47s or M16s. I thought you were a veteran. As such, surely you don't buy into the left narrative that semiautomatics are military style arms.

Joy, that argument is about the same as saying the founding fathers never thought we would need traffic laws, so we can forget about all the traffic regulations and do as we wish..
What the heck the constitution does not outlaw it..

The 2nd amendment isn't about outlawing arms!!!! Rather it, like most of the Constitution, is about limiting the federal government's authority over American's rights. To equate such limitations being imposed as being like traffic regulations boggles the mind. And to say a right guaranteed in our constitution equates with something not being forbidden because it isn't in the constitution; has no logical basis.

Civilian versions of the AR15? The AR15 IS a civilian gun. So you have semiautomatics but want to limit others being able to have them.

No time machine needed. Many were prolific letter writers with many letters surviving to today. Their views on individual rights are stated frequently.

Thanks to conservatives semi-autos with extended magazines can be legally bought. Why is it you don't seem to be able to grasp that?

Correction: Semi-auto handguns don't come with extended magazines. You have to buy them separately, they are expensive, and only a small percentage who own semi-autos buy them. They are more of a novelty than a practical item. Even so, what's the BFD? Only pussies worry about things like this.Thanks to conservatives semi-autos with extended magazines can be legally bought.

A blunderbuss was considered a cannon.
