I would like to see a legal ignoramus like Toobin come out to Wisconsin and try to take the guns away from all the Dem gun owners and lovers I know. He would be one very sorry man. Here in Wisconsin there is no debate about the right to own a gun since there are millions of them about equally distributed on both sides of the political line. Toobin onces again demonstrates that it is possible to receive an education and not learn anything.
Hey, Toobin! How does it feel to waste all that money on a Harvard education only to discover they were teaching left wing ideology rather than law?
It’s so simple even us hayseeds can understand. It is a Bill of Rights for PEOPLE — not a Bill of Rights for militias.
Duh...
If it was ONLY about militias, why was it an amendment, and not in a clause specifically about the states (specifically Article IV)?: “Section 1. Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.
Section 2. The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.
A person charged in any state with treason, felony, or other crime, who shall flee from justice, and be found in another state, shall on demand of the executive authority of the state from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime.
No person held to service or labor in one state, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.
Section 3. New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.
The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to prejudice any claims of the United States, or of any particular state.
Section 4. The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.”
I argued for an individual right in moot court in law school. I ended up winning in one particular round where the Con Law professor who was judging said, “Good argument, even though no court will ever find in favor of the side you were arguing.” Idiot.
Sonia S!
She’s the one!
That lying bitch is Anti-gun!
Outside of New York City, gun grabbing laws only began in 1968.
So this “50 years ago” thing is preposterous.
But you surely have a right to stick a gerbil up your axx, it shall not be infringed, and marry a queer etc.
I guess he wasn’t smart enough to get into Laurence Henry Tribe’s class. Dr. Tribe knows, and teaches, that the Second Amendment protects a personal right.
Without the RTKBA, CNN would not exist. The 2nd protects the 1st.
I'm sure this is true among the people with whom toobin associated. D!psh!ts tend to reinforce each other.
