Back to the flat Earth position I see. Why are you parroting the Brady Campaign in that last paragraph? That is the exact argumentation they are using for every piece of legislation they try and push on us.

Are you actually going to say that one persons Rights can easily override another persons equal Rights? Kinda destroys the whole precept this country was founded on doesn't it? What next? Gonna try and claim Prima Noctem on your neighbors daughter? After all, if a restriction in the Constitution only applies to government action....

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

It says "...the right of the people...". That is us. We individual citizens of the United States. Waiting for your judicial heros to stand up and mouth the correct words is like Galileo waiting in his tower for the Church to realize that the Sun does not orbit the Earth.

No, I'm not. I'm saying that you have no right to bear arms on private property without the owner's consent. If you do not have a right to do something in the first place, I do not violate your rights when I tell you to stop doing it on my property.

Rape is a crime. Outlawing rape is within the proper power of state and local government.

It's an unsettled legal issue. I believe that the 2nd Amendment does recognize the individual right to bear arms, but there are many people who disagree. Until a ruling is made by SCOTUS on this issue, it will remain open.

That being said, whatever way SCOTUS determines this issue in the future, that will not change the fact that you do not have a right to bear arms on private property contrary to the owner's wishes.
