Should states decide on gun ownership?

Already done. Los Angeles is an example of what to expect. No private citizens can carry guns, so only cops, judges, and criminals carry them.

A few lucky people can get a CCW if they can show "Good cause"

 

states should have no say in the matter. The right to bear arms shall not be infringed is in the constitution. The states only have power over issues not covered by the constitution.

 

The Constitution provides a better argument against abortion than for abortion.

 

I keep arms. I bear arms. The U.S. Constitution gives me that right. States can kiss my grits.

 

~ Sad but true. Likely the entire USA will become "Californicated " in the coming decades – maybe sooner !

 

Guns are mentioned in the Constitution; abortions are not.

 

Dude the word abortion is not specifically mentioned, the right to own a gun is.

 

Fine. Really ****ing damn difficult compared to real states like FL.. Happy Mr. anal retentive.

 

Following the logic Alito posits, that if it didn't exist in the Constitution then it is not a protected right, then women are in trouble over all sorts or rights since they aren't
mentioned. True, it took an amendment to "not abridge" their right to vote "on account of sex". (no mention of women)

In fact, if we apply this same line of reasoning, then the only arms people have the right bear are muskets. States can pass laws that restrict the ownership of modern
firearms because they weren't around when the Constitution was signed and there is no amendment that mentions AR-15's.

 

Hahaha look at you all emotional. How specifically is it ’“****ing damn difficult”?

 

Should people from that era rule over your country via this constitution in perpetuity? 2000 years from now, do you think you should have the same constitution as you have today?

 

Yep. 2) Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose

 

In today's political environment, it will not happen unless extremes on both sides are completely ignored by the voting public.

 

This is a common argument that liberals make and it is incorrect. You should do some research on the puckle gun and realize that Lewis and Clark carried a semi-auto Big bore airgun on their Westward adventure.

So buy your logic there the first amendment should only be covered if it's written on paper or spoken by word of mouth because there was no TV or Internet or radio. You down with that too?

They knew that firearms technology was an evolution as it had already evolved at that point and they could have only expected it to continue to do so

 

don't care

 

That would be because good ideas transcend age.

How old is the concept of democracy?

Go ahead and tell us which parts of the Constitution aren't "getting with the times".

 

All of CA has about 70k CCW's, and "self defense" is not a valid justification in the DPRC.

 

Gun ownership or ARMs ownership. As the 2A doesn't restrict the right to bear arms just to guns. But to ARMs.

 

They don't even know that Heller addressed that, as if the Founder's didn't understand technology.

 

If you want to hear someone speak about a subject they have very little knowledge on just ask the typical liberal about the Constitution or the second amendment.

I like what Ronald Reagan said about it....

He said it's not that our liberal friends are ignorant it's just that they know so much that isn't so!

The constitution does not permit the federal nor the state to regulate arms. Period!

I know people will argue but a law graduate, that was an elected official, and a secondary founding father by the name of Tench Coxe interpreted the second at the time of ratification as having the right to bear as the peoples right and not up to the state or federal governments to regulate.

Find even a close quote from anyone at the time of ratification that interpreted the constitution to protect abortion. In fact find me one person at the time of creating the 14th amendment that states it protects abortion

 

No there isn't. All rights are implied.
At least today. That's why it's illegal to own nukes, claymores, LAWs, and the like.

 

It's updated everytime the USSC makes a ruling.
It's always ever changing with the times.

 

So everyone has the right to own nukes, LAWs, grenades, claymors etc?

The right to bear arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. Per the 2A
