Why? What does the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution have to do with the City of Chicago's gun laws? Tell me specifically how it applies.
Then tell me why Chicago's gun laws, and New York's, and LA's have NEVER even been challenged as a violation of the second amendment. NEVER.
You're of course right. Most people here do not realise that the 2nd Amendment only applies to the federal government. Unless of course the SCOTUS does something about it.
States (actually the citizens of the states) decide which of these natural rights they will protect and to what extent.
Simply not true. Both Article VI & the 14th specifically address this issue, making clear that States are bound to support the US Constitution and the individuals rights protected therein.
In Chicago, you have a right to defend yourself, but not with a gun.
-- how is it possible that some states allow concealed carry and some don't?
How is it possible that some cities actually ban the ownership of handguns?
By ignoring the clear words of the Constitution, combined with the failure of our President, Congress, and Courts to insist that they cease such prohibitions. --- The 'majority will' is operating to infringe on our RKBA's, urged on by 'democratic' folks like you.
What happened to Equal Protection and Due Process?
(Answer: The second amendment doesn't apply to the states, only the federal government. Gasp!)
Yes robby [gasp], we here at FR are no longer shocked at your refusal to support the Constitutions 2nd Amendment as the Law of the Land.
Make you proud?
What does the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution have to do with the City of Chicago's gun laws? Tell me specifically how it applies.
All the officials in Chicago are sworn to support the US Constitution [as amended]; "notwithstanding" any State [or local] laws "to the Contrary'.
Then tell me why Chicago's gun laws, and New York's, and LA's have NEVER even been challenged as a violation of the second amendment. NEVER.
Because the USSC, and the Fed Circuit Courts, refuse to hear cases that are challenged on 2nd Amendment grounds.
You've been told this before, and NEVER manage to refute that clear fact.
It puzzles me why all you fellas think that this Republic can long endure if we allow States to ignore & prohibit our RKBA's.. Can you explain?
