Maine: The Second Amendment Is The Right To Carry Concealed

With only two stipulations that do infringe the right to carry, it seems to be the best state law passed this year for 2nd Amendment rights. The two stipulations are that first, you must be at or over 21 years of age, and that you must tell an officer that you are carrying in a traffic stop.

Incorrect. Rights are universal and you have them from birth.

Re-read the Constitution.

The US constitution deliberately omits any sort of "right to vote" langauge, because the state involved could not agree on the conditions for allowing a citizen to vote.

This was particularly debated.

The general outline of the Virginia plan was well received. But the question arose over how to elect the members of the two houses of Congress. For half the summer, the convention debated this issue. Some delegates strongly opposed having the people elect the lower house. Roger Sherman of Connecticut distrusted the notion of democracy. People, he said, "should have as little to do as may be about government" because they are "constantly liable to be misled." Others spoke strongly in favor of popular vote, including George Mason of Virginia. Mason had faith in the common man and believed that the members of the lower house "ought to know and sympathize with every part of the community."

Would you ask any interpretive questions like, "Do you think Dennis Hastert, the longest serving Speaker of the House, was given the job of Speaker because he sexually molested a student of his and was easily blackmailed or didn't the FBI catch this in their exhaustive research until a few years after he was replaced, and do you think Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, and John Boehner, have blackmailable skeletons in their closet also?"

Their are so many good questions to ask on a test.

I believe it is you who needs that re-read. Your post contradicts your original assertion. The Constitution does not impart rights, they already exist (as you pointed out). Your original assertion was that no right to vote existed, to which I indicated that this was incorrect.

No, since I'm a "fair" man, I don't want to impair anyone's ability to vote {that is if they are eligible}.
