Gun Rights are NOT A FEDERAL ISSUE. Gun rights are a STATES’ ISSUE!!!
Nowhere does the Constitution give the feds power to regulate individual ownership of guns. Period. That is a STATE ISSUE!!!
Again, Patriots, stand against the unconstitutional, now totalitarian, portion of the federal government, the GREATEST threat to our lives, liberties, and well being.
True.
Quite the contrary ... the Constitution prohibits both the federal government and the several State governments to "infringe" on the right to keep and bear arms.
IMO it's not even a State issue. It's not an issue at all ... it's a Constitutional requirement that government keep its dirty hands off our weapons.
Or... As William Rawle put it...
"The corollary, from the first position, is, that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to congress a power to disarm the people.
Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretence by a state legislature.
But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both."
“Nowhere does the Constitution give the feds power to regulate individual ownership of guns. Period. That is a STATE ISSUE!!!”
No, it is NOT a State issue. The States do not have the right to regulate gun either!
Gun Rights are NOT A FEDERAL ISSUE. Gun rights are a STATES’ ISSUE!!!
“Gun Rights are NOT A FEDERAL ISSUE. Gun rights are a STATES’ ISSUE!!!”
You may want to review the 14th Amendment; specifically: “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
That says that states cannot restrict rights protected by the Constitution without due process and equal protection (in the latter instance, the states are prohibited from allowing certain persons to enjoy rights protected under the Constitution while denying those same rights to others similarly situated).
You might also want to review Article VI, Clause 2; specifically, the Supremacy Clause: The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and all federal laws and treaties arising out of it are superior to any state laws to the contrary.
I have to disagree with your position on this.
The right to self defense is a GOD GIVEN RIGHT, not given by the Feds, the States, the Counties, the Cities, or any other man or woman.
My GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE can extend, IF I SO CHOOSE to my family, my friends, my state, or my national government, but only if I choose to do so.
Therefore my right to self defense GIVEN BY GOD cannot be abrogated by any government or individual; as a civilized society we have promulgated certain laws and regulations that have been agreed upon by all “law abiding citizens”.
We as a society have agreed that certain CRIMINALS, after CONVICTION of their accused crimes can and shall be deprived of certain rights under our laws and the laws of GOD.
Convicted CRIMINALS have repudiated their responsibilities as citizens in good standing and therefore upon CONVICTION can and should be deprived of certain rights under our CONSTITUTION.
Upon completion of their sentence all rights and privileges should be restored.
That’s why the death penalty and life in prison should be enforced to the utmost, some crimes simply do not allow for the CRIMINAL to re-enter society.
My right to self defense is given by GOD, not man, and no organization, government entity, or person is allowed to deprive me of that right.
The means I choose to employ in my defense of self and or others is at my discretion!
All caps aside, the Fourteenth and Second Amendments would like to have a word with you.
“Gun Rights are NOT A FEDERAL ISSUE. Gun rights are a STATES’ ISSUE!!!”
In McDonald v. Chicago (2010), the Supreme Court clarified that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment incorporated the Second Amendment against state and local governments.
Gun rights are rights. Period.
So you believe States can abrogate the Constitution and the Feds have no power to stop them. Wow who knew it is so easy to amend the Constitution without amending the Constitution and here I thought all these years that only moron judges could do that.
