We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :)
Please help by posting all issues here.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
This approximately 11 minute youtube video is a very good, concise review of the topic by William Kirk with washingtongunlaw.com.

Can the reader help?

My current understanding is that, basically, the second amendment provides a legal means to...
In an earlier post, here, I alluded to the Magna Carta as being in the minds of our founding fathers when they wrote the 2nd Amendment.

I thought that I would share my current understanding:

Sorry to post cross-threads, but this question can be answered now.
And expanded upon.
Yes. Jeff and I went together and met with two city council members.

This seems like a good topic for the forum,
and I suspect others may benefit from the conversation.
