I think that SCOTUS is going to outright reject applying tiers of scrutiny for the RKBA; it just leaves too much wiggle-room for anti-2ndA judges...
I wrote about absolute clauses 30 years ago when I began debating gun rights. I, like you, gave some examples, absolute clause in italic and...
Meta-languages? You're the one arguing a grammar based position analyzing an absolute clause and an ablative absolute clause at that, an archaic...
"Technically speaking", the correct term for the 2nd Amendment's declarative, dependent clause is ablative absolute, which partially explains why...
You have declared the only discussion you will accept is focused on the text of the 2nd Amendment, that whatever the nature of the right is or is...
Your argument is that "originalist intentions" don't matter, all that matters is what's written and your purposeful parsing, divorced from...
At least you recognize that Heller is consistent with "other Supreme Court decisions" and they all affirm the individual right. After that you go...
I read it and I thought I understood where you were coming from. I was going with the "well regulated" part as being the primary objective. If...
The OP is basically restating a law that was in effect from 1792 to 1903. That law did compel white male citizens to provide themselves with an...
Simply compelling citizens to be armed and requiring them to muster "once every two years", (for training), would not meet any standard of...
She is a senile idiot. Her thinking on the RKBA/2ndA is wrong philosophically, historically and legally and is diametrically opposed to...
I think you need to calibrate the frequency of your tinfiol hat; that's not at all what we are talking about.
Let's see if you can keep it up. Does that condition, in your thinking, allow the federal government to do whatever it wants? Is there no...
I know. Note my use of the word "conjure" which denotes invented power rather than a delegated, defined power. One shouldn't expect invented...
Of course it is . . . It is big business and the raw materials and finished product (timber, pulp, paper, plastic, silicon, books, newspapers,...
Is "Congress shall make no law" supposed to be taken literally?
Why should something that has zero impact frighten me? SCOTUS has been consistent that the words of the 2nd don't matter . . . I can't fake...
The Federalist Papers explain the extent of those clauses . . . SCOTUS examines them for guidance on original intent. If the argument is that...
You asked out of ignorance. You didn't know that it doesn't matter. The right to arms is not granted, given, created or established by the 2nd...
I can answer but I expected some measure of intellectual integrity from you (I know, I'm a hopeless idealist). If such a clause that allows...
Seriously? That's your reply?
You tell me. Please cite the Article, Section and clause of the Constitution by which the federal government is granted any power to dictate to...
Well, Scalia and Justices before him (for going on 140 or so years) have been boringly consistent saying that the right to arms is not granted by...
If the government decided to crack down on private militias the 2nd Amendment would be as much a claimable immunity as the 1st Amendment would be,...
I know they exist. I know the authorities know they exist. I know that in nearly all instances those privately organized militias are...
Separate names with a comma.
