L.A. Times to NRA: Government’s ‘Responsibility’ To Regulate 2nd Amendment
breitbart ^ | Feb. 20, 2015 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 02/20/2015 3:07:17 PM PST by PROCON

On February 19, the Los Angeles Times reacted to the growing momentum for Campus Carry legislation across the country by referring to the NRA as “crackpots” and reminding the organization that it is the government’s “responsibility to protect the public through reasonable gun control laws.”

In other words, “shall not be infringed” does not mean shall not be regulated and/or controlled.

According to the Times, the NRA has hit a new low by promoting the idea that an expansion of Campus Carry means “gun-toting women would be armed to defend themselves in the event of sexual assaults.”

The Times claims no one should be surprised by the NRA’s position–after all, “these are the same crackpots who argued” that students should be allowed to carry guns for self-defense following the 2007 attack on Virginia Tech.

“reasonable gun control”

Imagine if you will a world in which that means a steady trigger pull. :-)

I like Breitbart's publication legacy and I'm still thinking his killing wasn't an accident.

The Breitbart news organization still does a good job in publishing revealing information.

The extremist left uses the word “reasonable” and then begins by framing the position around their concept of what is reasonable. A reasonable gun control stance would be to take note of the areas where gun violence predominates, and then to dispatch more police into those areas. Or just disarm all residences within those areas. But that might have a disparate impact on the extremist left voting constituencies.

LA Times insists women should be disarmed.

Apparently their view is let the police handle it later.

Nope. They don't even process rape kits like they're supposed to.

No sweat — rape victims can be driven to the hospital by the cops later.

How would that paper enjoy some regulation of the 1st Amendment’s freedom of the press?

. . . the Times reminds us all that “Americans have a 2nd Amendment right to own guns, but it’s not an absolute right.”

"Shall not be infringed" means that owning guns is an absolute right, and more. Our right to bear arms is also an absolute. A property owner can ban our guns from that private property, at the cost of losing our business, but government has no such authority on public property. Gun laws are obeyed only out of fear, never out of a moral obligation.

It’s getting real close to where Americans need to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights and take back America.

>>In other words, “shall not be infringed” does not mean shall not be regulated and/or controlled.

But many FReepers believe it's okay to regulate whether a felon can own a gun after he has served his time.

If you can regulate a certain group, it all becomes subjective who and what can be regulated.

The coroner for Brietbart died under mysterious circumstances as well.
