gun rights quiz
 
Second Amendment Quiz - Topic of Second Amendment - CSMonitor.com

how much do you all know?
some good questions
I scored 9 correct-

sammyg2 03-20-2012 01:59 PM

I got 9 also.
I knew the ones about the constitution 'cause that's a hobby of mine, some of the others related to court rulings etc. I had to guess on.

but why did we have to open 25 slow-loading pages to take a freaking 12 question quiz?
Who designs these things, 10 year olds?

I got 8 of 12 (not as smart as you Angela),, couple tough ones.. but worth the time - Thanks

10 out of 12, but the one about missles, etc, is wrong. "Probably not" means that the law is unsettled, which was my answer.

I also missed the one on which gangsters were the reason behind the National Firearms Act of 1934. Again, I think this is a matter of opinion, since Bonnie and Clyde were killed in 1934. They used sawed off Browning Automatic Rifles. Basically, they invented the short barrel assault rifle!

That question was more of an opinion poll, I chose YES on that one, knowing it would be wrong. I also missed some off the 1930s-era questions.
8/12

Seriously, the website was terrible to navigate!!!

You missed the same two I did, and I agree with you on the missiles, etc. is incorrect, but not for the same reasons.

IIRC Heller said "In common use" so under Heller, missiles and machine guns, not being in common use, would not be protected arms.

Some of the distractor answers were stupid.

They aren't in "common use" because we've been restricted from them since 1934.

I'm doing the Citizenship quiz and haven't missed one yet. But the website is awfully slow and it screws up regularly

red-beard 03-20-2012 03:24 PM

Well, I made it through 60 questions and now the website isn't responding..

was that the made for TV movle of the week?

id10t 03-20-2012 04:06 PM

11 out of 12, and the Monitor needs to re-read the Miller decision so my wrong answer becomes right... At the time of the miller decision, full auto, sbr, sbs, etc. were not common military type items - today though they are, so based on Miller the NFA is unconstitutional.

dtw 03-20-2012 04:06 PM

11/12 but #10 pissed me off.

flatbutt 03-20-2012 04:27 PM

Correct! (12 of 12 correct)
But you'd need to be Michael Moore to fail that thing.

afterburn 549 03-20-2012 04:35 PM

9 out 12
Missed the opinion one too

azasadny 03-20-2012 06:04 PM

I got 8 out of 12...

Joeaksa 03-21-2012 03:36 PM

11.5 out of 12. Course being a Lifetime NRA member helps...

Danimal16 03-21-2012 04:11 PM

11 out of 12. Unsettled is the deal when we look at the language contained in Miller. If we look at Miller and the importance it placed on "militia" rocket launchers could actually be ruled legal by today's standards. It is DEFINITELY not probably not.
