Chapter titled "Guns, God and More" - pp. 219-222. Sunstein states his view that the 2nd Amendment does not guarantee an individual right to keep and bear arms.
(Excerpt) Read more at books.google.com ...
The U.S. Supreme Court disagreed with him.
well...shall not infringe on the right to bear arms??? what the heck was this guys argument?
Sorry Sunny. I'm an American and I say that it does. IT'S MY Fn BILL OF RIGHTS! Not your government's.
More information of ol’ Cass.
RDINARY!Do any of these puke-heads ever tell us how the 2nd could be worded so that it means the same to them as it does us?? Nooooo
To guys like Sunstein, it doesn’t matter what the text of the amendment says. He looks at the Bill of Rights differently than we do. Instead of having naturally granted inalienable rights from our creator, and we surrender only a portion of those rights to the government for it to function, he believes that the government grants all rights. To people like him, everything is open to interpretation, and subject to addition and subtraction at the will of the government.
Jefferson and Madison did not want to include a Bill of Rights. They thought that having the powers of the government limited and delineated was more than enough... like here it is, this is what the government can do and nothing else, period. They thought that by adding a Bill of Rights it would confuse the notion of limited government. Which I agree with them, that it certainly did.
The 14th amendment took that confusion another step farther. Perhaps something was needed to ensure that everyone is treated equally under the law, but it is so poorly worded that it gives big government commies a convient excuse to just make stuff up.
Holy crap!
You can tell a radical. They label others “radicals”. Oops, does that make me a radical?
So he is for minimalism? Great, we just keep creeping along toward communism in his world. No thanks, pal. I am all for fundamentalism.
You can almost tell all you need to know about this guy when he equates people who believe the original intent of the constitution with religious fundamentalists and the Koran. Un believable.
His extreme liberal bias is simply dripping off the pages of that book. How soon do we learn he is a socialist? Look at all of the examples he gives at the opening? Every single one is an extreme distortion of conservative principles.
I’m not surprised. We know Obama is a communist. We know this guy is progressive and way out to the left.
I am so furious right now at all of the voters who did not support McLame, just to keep Obama from power. I am so mad.
Yup, another totalitarian nut job.
The 2A could not be any clearer. Shall not be infringed can mean only one thing.
Sorry, scumbag Sunstein, the horse is already out of the barn...
The last sentence on page 1 is key. Imagine what the numbers are now:
"Putting all estimates together, by the end of 1999, the total number of guns privately owned or available for sale in the United States came to more than 260 million, nearly enough for every man, woman, and child in the country to own one."
Probably smoking too much pot with his other hippie friends.
Yep. It was frustrating that some did not see that we had to stop Obama and the only way to do that was to vote against him by voting for McCain. How could you NOT get your butt out to vote AGAINST a Shadow Party Marxist?
During the pre-election run-up, I even had someone here tell me not to say Obama was a Marxist because that was “offensive.”
Damnstraight it’s offensive!
Okay, back to OP. I am going to post a bunch of my other research on Sunstein here for the taking.

Marxists on Sunstein’s book and “universalization of economic benefits of US WEALTH” & “universal social benefits”

Upthread I posted many snips of Sunstein's writings with links.
FDR and the "universalization of the economic benefits of U.S. wealth.
“Radicals in robes: why extreme right-wing courts are wrong for America”
Jag, These are the Judges, at any time, in any society. Extreme needs no home, neither “wing”.
Robed radicals need only the absolute conviction that an individual opine, supersedes the written directives of the chosen leaders.
In the case of our Supremes, in our generation, it has slaughtered innocent children by the thousands and sanction decent desperate folks into genocide against their own creations.
Radicals in robes are far more dangerous than, wrong . Extreme only works in close violent combat and for relatively brief periods.
Thanks for the link. I did some reading on it over the last few weeks while I was getting to know the czars. Most of them, unsurprisingly, are like-minded on the origination of rights; that they come from government rather than our creator. Dangerous stuff.
