It specifically says in the Constitution, in the a state of emergency, the government can temporarily suspend the 2nd Amendment in order to get things under control.
Where does it say that?
The Suspension Clause of the United States Constitution specifically included the English common law procedure in Article One, Section 9, clause 2, which states:
“The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.”
Which in the case of the aftermath of Katrina required it, it was lawful according to the Constitution to ban firearms.

Call me on my BS.
IMHO he vacillates from idiot blowhard to mindless narcissist in the blink of an eye.
“The Articles enumerated within the Constitution’s Bill of Rights are not conditional. 100% behind the 2nd Amendment, are you? Obviously not.”
Read the Suspension Clause of the Constitution (Article One, Section 9, clause 2) which states “ The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.
I am behind the Costitution 100%, Then again, I understand most of.
Ok, one more time

Ok. I'll bite. What does suspending habeas corpus have to do with suspending the 2d?
What section of the Constitution sez such?
The writ of habeas corpus seeks release from imprisonment; it has nothing to do with the Second Amendment. Even if habeas corpus may be suspended (to allow imprisonment of, eg, suspected enemies without enough proof to override a habeas corpus objection), it’s irrelevant to the Second Amendment.
Ditto for me as well...
Where, pray tell, does it say that? Post it, please.
Then it is up to the court to decide if the temporary suspension is credible or not.
Really?
But the law is the law, and you can’t claim to support one part of the Constituttion and not the other part.
Which part is that, the PART YOU MADE UP? Or is it right next to the part that privides a "right" to have an abortion?

Section 9 - Limits on Congress

Habeas Corpus

Just How does that apply to the 2nd amendment?
For Reference:
Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary: bait and switch
1 : a sales tactic in which a customer is attracted by the advertisement of a low-priced item but is then encouraged to buy a higher-priced one
2 : the ploy of offering a person something desirable to gain favor (as political support) then thwarting expectations with something less desirable
Where does it specifically say “in the a state of emergency, the government can temporarily suspend the 2nd Amendment in order to get things under control. “?
I watched that interview. BOR did not do his homework and was anticipating an interview with a raving tinfoil militia type. He simply was not prepared for a valid debate. His guest was calm, cool, armed with completely valid points, and Bill looked foolish.
“Where does it specifically say”?
Right here
The Suspension Clause of the United States Constitution specifically included the English common law procedure in Article One, Section 9, clause 2, which states:

Gee, I don’t know, when you have a bunch of armed people running around in New Orleans after Katrina, looting places and law enforcement is in shambles, which causes a concern for the safety of the citizens of N.O., I’m pretty sure this aplies. But like I said, it’s up to the court to decide if the reasons for the government to issue this are legitimate.
Maybe your handle should b F’ed up instead?
I don’t think you even know what parts of the Constitution you don’t understand, let alone those you claim to understand.
Where, pray tell, does it say that? Post it, please.
Read the Suspension Clause. Article One, Section 9, clause 2, which states:
“The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it”
Read into it, you learn more that way.
“Ok. I’ll bite. What does suspending habeas corpus have to do with suspending the 2d?”
Gee, i don’t know. When a bunch of armed people in N.O. are running around looting places, causing the safety of the prople of N.O. to be in jeapardy. And law enforcement is in shambles. I’m pretty sure this applies.
