shall not be infringed
Shall Not Be Infringed
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED
But then I'm not a lawyer so....
Chicago tried this too and the SCOTUS shot it down.
Two words: Black.Market.
Yes.
Judge Susan Illston ruled in favor of the use of zoning to ban gun shops, holding that the ordinance did not put any burden on anyone’s Second Amendment rights.
I have to wonder, would Judge Illston rule the same way if Alameda County had zoned away Porn shops?
Would she rule differently if an individual wanted to open a strip club and Alameda County zoning made it impossible to find a location that zoning would permit his shop to locate?
In California, I don’t have to guess.
If you can’t legally sell something then you don’t actually own it.
Article [IX] (Amendment 9 – Unenumerated Rights)
“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
Article [X] (Amendment 10 – Reserved Powers)
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
As to the feds and the Constitution, you have a right to do anything that is not specifically prohibited in the Constitution. There are very few constitutional prohibitions on states and the people.
The Constitution is based on the presumption that We the People are BORN with INSEPARABLE God-given rights. AND it is WE the PEOPLE through the Constitution that delegates LIMITED specific enumerated rights to the feds via the Constitution.
- If it is not in the Constitution, it is not a federal power.
- If it is not in the Constitution, it is not a prohibited right of the states and the people.
So the question back is, is selling firearms in the Constitution? Answer NO, except to enemies of the United States! Therefore, selling firearms except to enemies of the United States is none of the feds business and is everyone’s right under the laws of each state.
There is a right to free speech, but is there a right to sell communications tools?
There is a right to the free exercise of religion, but is there a right to sell religious texts and articles?
Do you get the idea, Mr. Leef?
If then, what about Bows, Arrows, Knives, Swords, Lances AND Tomahawks?
Ping.
There is an amendment to our Constitution which prohibits the Government from infringing on our God given right to keep and bear firearms or whatever other form of protection from tyranny as we so choose.
Just clarifying a bit.
Ownership of property implies title, control, use, and the ability to dispose of it as long as ownership harms neither the person nor the property of another.
Lincoln said the Declaration of Independence is a golden apple inside the Silver Frame of the Constitution, which is as tight as the link between Ownership and Freedom.
In 1849, in New York State, a lot of young men went to California via steamer out of NY City and up the Mississippi, then overland. Before they went, they had blacksmiths make pistols for them. No licenses, no nothing in those days. No infringements. Today people in New York State still buy and sell guns to each other because most of the guns are unregistered, due to the fact that those guns are pre-1968. Everyone here don`t give a horse`s ass about Cuomo and his “Safe Act” bullsht which is tyranny worst than the British of 1775, nor about ATF crap. ATF wasn`t founded until 1972 and ex post facto laws are unconstitutional- viz.
“Section 9 - Limits on Congress
No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.”
Is there a constitutional right to sex? If so is there a constitutional right to sell sex, aka prostitution?
Inquiring minds want to know about the principal associated with the Bill of Rights that is being promoted.
It’s a God-given right, you clown.
But I'd bet that requiring an ID that can be obtained within a block of one's residence would "put an undue burden on illegals who want to vote"....
