There are limits on your rights, tpaine. You don't have the right to drive as fast as you want anywhere that you want anytime that you want. If that infringes on your liberty, tough.
There are no absolute rights in the Constitution
Our absolute & inalienable rights to life, liberty, or property are twice mentioned. No person shall be deprived of them without due process of law.
because the rights conflict with others when taken to the extreme.
Thus due process of [constitutional] law is used to resolve the conflicts.
Lawyers like Dog Gone claim that gov't can prohibit you from owning 'dangerous' property ['machine guns'] in order to protect your own 'life & liberty'; -- a ludicrous concept of circular reasoning.
There are limits on your rights, tpaine.
There are limits on your power to write 'laws' that deprive me of due process, dog.
You don't have the right to drive as fast as you want anywhere that you want anytime that you want.
Silly comparison, dog. Laws against reckless driving are reasonable. -- 'Laws' against owning a machine gun are infringements of due process.
AS Justice Harlan recognized:
"[T]he full scope of the liberty guaranteed by the Due Process Clause `cannot be found in or limited by the precise terms of the specific guarantees elsewhere provided in the Constitution.
This `liberty´ is not a series of isolated points pricked out in terms of the taking of property;
the freedom of speech, press, and religion;
the right to keep and bear arms;
the freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures; and so on.
It is a rational continuum which, broadly speaking, includes a freedom from all substantial arbitrary impositions and purposeless restraints, . . .
If that infringes on your liberty, tough.
Strange attitude.. -- Aren't you pledged, as a officer of the court, to protect & defend our constitutional liberties?
Another phoney baloney straw man argument. There are no limitations on what type of car you can own. If you want to own a 1000 hp supercharged Viper, then as long as you have the $$$ you can march right down to Hennesey tuning and get one - no government registration or restrictions. There are limitations on firing any type of weapon - for example you can't use your neighbor's dog for a target even for a BB gun. Likewise there are limitations on how you drive, but not what you drive. You are obviously an anti-gun troll. You've been parroting the Brady bunche's statist drivel in virtually every one of your posts.
