Gun Laws

The Bill of Rights of 1689, passed by the British Parliament in that year, does NOT have amendments (and, frankly, needs no translation or interpretation, as it is quite straightforward).

Perhaps the questioner was instead thinking of the 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution (part of the first 10 amendments commonly referred to as the Bill of Rights) ???

Only in the US.

NO!!

Yes. With parental permission.

The right to "keep and bear arms" is guaranteed in the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury

BB guns are not designed for hunting. The best you can do is kill small rodents.

yes as long as it wasnt a felony

This is a highly contentious issue.

It would seem that they created it as an individual right, because they feared a government trying to disarm them and leave them helpless.

An alternate view is that they were speaking of a collective right, and that this one is pertaining to government militias.

Objectively, whether one is in favor of private gun ownership or not, the balance of evidence would seem to be on the side of it being an "individual" right. However, it has long been established by case law, statutes and law that the government has substantial abilities to regulate who can have guns and in what manner they may obtain them and have them.

Regardless then of how anyone feels, people may individually own guns so long as they do so in the manner the government currently allows.

The 2nd Amendment is the right to keep and bear arms. It is the 3rd Amendment that you are looking for.

you worded that wrong...there arnt amendments is amendments...

No. Doves are a Federal Migratory bird, and may only be hunted with shotguns. And unless you found one sitting on the ground eating, they are a very difficult bird to shoot even with a shotgin- they are the fastest game bird in the world.

Yes, as long as the tip is still orange.

Sure. You can have a real gun, too. The bit about the supposed federal law prohibiting firearms in the CMV - entirely false. I'll bet you a week's paycheck you can't find this supposed law anywhere in the FMCSR or any FMVSS guidelines - because it does not exist. Laws for carrying a firearm in a commercial vehicle are the same as they are in any other vehicle, and these laws vary by state. Now if you're prone to delivering on military or government installation, or if you cross the border into Canada, I wouldn't recommend it.

If it's your only DUI and it wasn't a felony DUI, yes.

yes it is legal in new york and used by many people

No. Haiti doesn't even want to permit firearms rights to its own citizens, much less foreigners.

A gun is not allowed in a commercial vehicle. This is a federal law and does not differ from state to state.

ACTUALLY, the FMCSR does not address the issue of guns in commercial vehicles. The existence of a federal law prohibiting firearms in commercial vehicles.. if it exists, I have yet to find anyone whose been able to cite it, and I've found nothing in repeated searches of the FMCSR pertaining to firearms.

However, you still have the matter of what your company will and will not allow to deal with, as well as what your customers may or may not allow. In most cases, you'll find that your company, your customers, or both are going to have regulations in place disallowing you to have a firearm in your vehicle or on their property.

----------------------

The only federal laws pertaining to the transportation of firearms and explosives across state lines (federal jurisdiction) only pertains to the US Mail in that it is illegal (gun control act of 1964) to transport firearms, explosives or hazardous materials through the mail. (this does not preclude parcel services like UPS or FedEx.). Commercial vehicles on a regular basis transport hazardous materials, explosives and firearms in every state in the union. Commercial drivers in the various states must obey the laws of the individual states through which they pass, otherwise.

Actually, you CAN ship an unloaded rifle via the USPS. Handguns, however, are prohibited from being shipped in this manner.

I would say Vermont, but I'm not 100% sure.

I know you don't need a permit to carry a concealed pistol, or to buy or own a pistol, rifle, or shotgun.

Per federal law, you have to be 18 to buy a rifle, 21 to buy a pistol, and you have to pass a background check.

Nowhere. Having any toy that looks like a real gun is asking for trouble with law enforcement. This is why toy guns are made bright colors or different sizes.

It all depends on where you live. You will have to check with the local law enforcement to find out. But I will suggest this. Don't hunt with a BB gun. It's not designed for that. BB's don't deform when they hit a target and will cause the animal to suffer and may not kill it right away. Pellet rifles accommodate hunting pellets, they deform and make a quick kill. BB guns and rifles are designed for target practice and plinking.

You need a lawyer for a legal, current and correct answer.

The Federalist papers are a series of essays written in 1787 and 1788 by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison to influence the ratification debate in New York. To this day theybare considered perhaps the finest treatise on republican government. Since the 2nd amendment, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights, was written by the First Congress in 1789 I don't think the Federalist has any bearing on it whatsoever. Michael Montagne To help along the Federalists' fight to ratify the Constitution, three men, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote a series of essakys published in three New York newspapers. The articles were not intended to present all sides. The purpose of the articles was to win the support of people to ratify the Constitution. These articles have been considered by some to be the single most important work written in defense of the Constitution. This may be on of the first examples of 'political spin' in our young nation. The 2nd amendment states as follows:A 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. The represntation of different interests in the government are expressed in these articles along with guarantees of the government's willingness to protect basic rights such as the right to bear arms.

Like most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. Handguns, fully automatic weapons, and semi-automatic firearms are normally not allowed. Long guns such as rifles and shotguns may have to be registered with the authorities. But in Japan (where the legal gun laws are the most strict), you require the police to come to your house and check your firearm (rifle, shotgun, gun safe and ammunition every 3 months and take a license renewal class once a year.Fixdeluxe1's Improvement:
As of October 2009 the current Japanese firearms laws are: Hunters & Sports shooters may own and use a shotgun or rifle(No Pistols,No Assault rifles although I am not sure as to what defines one in japan).All firearms must have a license and you have to sit a test every year with police visiting and inspecting firearms,ammunition & storage.All firearms must be registered and I don't know if you can sell them or not as there is probably no gun stores/shows what so ever.Gun violence and crime is very low in japan apart from aspects of the yakuza(japanese mafia).I think firearms must be grandfathered now.

The rifle used in the deer hunting scenes is a Remington model 700 BDL chambered for the 30-06 government cartridge. I believe he was using an M16-A1 in his Vietnam scenes.
