“The privilege to bear arms indescriminately..”

It’s not a privilege.

It’s a Constitutionally guaranteed Right.

Constitutionally guaranteed Right is the only way to speak of it.

When the Left perceives negative consequences from a Right that doesn’t cover their immorality (e.g. 2A), their solution is always to work outside the Constitutional process to abridge/control it. When a Constitutionally guaranteed Right can be misinterpreted to cover their deviancy, the Constitutional protection is the veritable word of God and must give license to all acts.

“It’s a Constitutionally guaranteed Right.”

I have had this observation for many years that people think if it is a right by the Constitution, then it is unchangeable. Can a felon own and carry a gun? Can a mentally instable person carry one, or should? The only right that man cannot change is conception which is determined by God. After that, the term right turns into privilege. Man supplies those. And to me it is no different that getting a driver’s or bus/cdl license, a pilot’ license, a license to spread insecticides or many other things that fall under the need for society safety.

Personally I don’t want someone out there driving a loaded Mack truck that can go up to 90K pounds at 60 MPH with me out there. I want them recognized as qualified so they don’t keep going because they were traveling too close and fold me up like fresh laundry.

Indescriminiately is defined as “...in a random manner; unsystematically.” (Oxford Dictionary)

So what you are saying is that it is okay for anyone to have a weapon on the street just bcause the Constitution says so. I know you know better than that. Should a mentally unstable person have one?. Should a person who has already been convicted of felony assault or murder have one? How are you going to know without checking? Like I said, it’s a two sided sword. Should everyone have access to weapons indescriminately? That was my question. And I don’t think so.
