Tampa Bay Times: ‘Shall Not Be Infringed’ Does Not Mean What It Says

On March 26, the Tampa Bay Times responded to the numerous pro-Second Amendment bills making their way through the Florida legislature by suggesting that “gun rights are not absolute.”

In other words, “shall not be infringed” does not mean “shall not be infringed.”

According to the Times, the numerous gun rights bills–especially campus carry–show that Republican legislators are controlled by the NRA and do not understand that if certain limits are not placed on Second Amendment rights, public safety is sacrificed.

The Tampa Bay Times is the biggest piece of monkey crap in Florida. Liberal beyond belief. No one reads it. I can’t understand why it’s still around.

I like the way Charlie Reese said it years ago.

‘A well educated elite, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to become educated shall not be infringed”

THIS, he said does NOT mean that ONLY THE ELITE are allowed an education. Same with the Second Amendment.

It was also brought up by college professors and the online University of Pheonix used it as a question for students. Asking them to say yay or nay and then use reason to support their position.

Another version was giving every American a “free” subscription to the daily paper of their choice. (too bad they are pretty much all uniformly leftist).

Some choice.

The Tampa Bay Times is a non-profit or something. It is owned by the leftist Poynter Institute for Media Studies.

It also owns the leftwing Politifact website.

16 year olds could open carry at school

That was happening all the time not so many decades ago, schools had shooting sports and clubs. And it was long after the "wild west" (the wild west was much less violent than today's inner cities)

high school gun clubs used to be very very common, even in NYC where kids would take their guns on subways to school.


Clover Park Senior High School Rifle Club 1941

Central High (Wash DC) School Girls Rifle Club, 1922

I am not sure this one in actually affiliated with the school:


Brainerd High School Trap Team Warriors 2012


Patterson High Rifle Club, Baltimore, 1967

In other words, “shall not be infringed” does not mean “shall not be infringed.”

Everyone knows that when the Founders wrote about a *Free Press* they meant the internet, not the *commercial press* that our modern media have become.
