great reply
“Geez that is all they have? Old tired and refuted argument.”
Yes. This is all they have.
And they don’t have a problem with pounding it over and over and over. A new crop of stupid grows up every year. So every year or so this kind of stupid does need to be refuted - year in and year out.
(Btw, I know you know this, but this also needs repeating. Over and over.)
lol
+1.
According to them the 10th amendment, the 2nd amendment and parts of the first no longer exist.
Their living, breathing Constitution was written by Karl Marx and not the founding fathers.
“A well stocked library being necessary to the intelligence of a free State, the right of the People to keep and read books shall not be infringed.”
Hmmm...see it says it right there! There are only certain books you commoners are allowed to have. Any elementary school librarian could see that...not!
Doncha know? The First amendment guarantees the right of the MILITIA to assemble, to worship, to print stuff. It isn't intended to apply to regular folk.
Where do these deluded people come from?
“The professor is simply lying.”
What? But these people have authority over us. They are educated. They know so much more than we do. We need to listen and just follow their lead.
They wouldn’t gruber us.
The Fifth, Ninth and Tenth amendments cover gun ownership even if the Second doesn’t. The government can’t force people to give up lawfully owned property without due process, nor prohibit their freedom to take action to acquire guns and ammo without the same. The government also has no power to confiscate private property or ban it.
The bases are covered, gun grabbers, so kindly shut up.
My Rights are God Given and He isn't an English Teacher.
Perhaps the Author should watch the Penn and Teller “Bullshit” Episode explaining the sentence structure of the Second Amendment. Commas have meaning.
And they keep coming up with stupid interpretations of the BOR.
Wanna see a stupid lawyer trick?
What you said makes sense. Everyone understands it. But under current law, you're wrong.
Under statutory law, "persons" and "individuals" are acting in a corporate capacity, and therefore only have government granted limited privileges - and no rights.
To indicate "the People" who have rights, you have to refer to them as "man/men" and "woman/women."
If you fail to use those words, and use the words you used instead, the Court can, and will, presume you voluntarily, knowingly, surrendered your rights. And since that presumption is based on the idea that you did it of your own volition, the Court will further presume it doesn't have to tell you what it presumed about you, because it will presume you already know.
And then it will deny you your rights and replace them with government granted limited corporate privileges.
That's "how it's done," and every cop, prosecutor, lawyer and judge knows it.
Now you know it.
What a crock, in a time and place where the meaning of words are set in water with the average recent college graduate unable to pass an eighth grade English final from his grandfather’s era, language “experts” are going to tell us what the founding fathers really meant. I think it is fairly well known that most people of that era owned firearms whether or not they belonged to the militia. Had they not we would probably never have been able to even attempt to overcome British rule so there most likely would not ever have been an American constitution, let alone a second amendment.
That's why democracy appeals to them.
To the left common sense means anything that makes sense only to a common leftist.
In order to preserve freedom, citizens have a right to be armed that cannot be infringed.
I agree with you.
That's why democracy appeals to them.
That's why we weren't founded as a Democracy. The founders never intended to let stupid, non-contributing people vote.
“Literally, it means that the American people will retain the right to carry weapons as members of a state militia in order to safeguard their freedom.”
Uh no that’s what Libtards want you to think it means. :-)
