the Court has not always interpreted the constitutional principle as absolute, and the proper extent of separation between government and religion in the U.S. remains an ongoing subject of impassioned debate.

GOD BLESS COURTHOUSES WITH THE 10 COMMANDMENTS AND POLICE STATIONS WITH CHRISTMAS TREES

So the Quran would be OK next to it? Or is it just your religion that's allowed?

There are literally thousands of citizen militias. You like to quote Jefferson, maybe understand why he removed commas when ratifying the second amendment to give people the personal right to bear arms, regardless of militia involvement.

Eight different forms of the 2nd Amendment were ratified by the states. No one had a clue what they were ratifying and everyone is still arguing about it today.

Some states prohibit militias. Like California. And I hope you aren't suggesting that the various citizen militias are in any way organized, coordinated, or able to effectively ban together to defeat an attack from a tyrannical government.

Besides. We don't need no organimization. Merica!

The 10 commandments are Islamic. Also let's not make assumptions pertaining to my religion.

It doesn't matter what the states ratified, what matters is what Jefferson put into the constitution, with his pen strokes guided by the power of Jesus.

CA does have militias, they just disguise themselves as bowling clubs. Actually some don't even go that far. I'm surprised it hasn't been challenged more in the courts actually.

I'd assume during any civil war, the military would probably be split. So, hopefully both sides will have tanks and helos.

I doubt a lot of military people would have the stomach to start killing their fellow americans.

You guys really shouldn't spend so much time arguing with someone who lives with their grandma.

crime is going down across the country, so how is it that paranoia is becoming seen as more rational?

easy to get as is, but not very practical. they're tough to lug around and way outta date in technology terms. you could own a Gatling gun from civil war era or later, and the gov. wouldn't really care because they've much better fire arms than the public will ever get in terms of current technology. finding enough bears to keep your ammunition supplied could be more hazardous than the actual weapon.
