Gunning Down The 2nd Amendment (See BS, need I say more)

CBS ^ | May 9 | Dick Meyer

[Dan from Michigan]

Very, very few judges, prosecutors or government lawyers over the past 60 years (at least)have officially taken the position that an individual right to own guns exists.

Dick, why then is it called the STANDARD Model. Also, look at Emerson, the latest case.

the one that is essentially settled law
Again, EMERSON.

The Supreme Court last dealt with the issue directly in 1939 when it clearly backed they collective, no-individual right position.

BS. Read US v Miller.

What the founders intended is unknowable. Objective truth about the meaning of the Second Amendment does not exist. Practical consensus about its meaning will not endure. The concept of "well regulated militia" is an anachronism in the 21st century.

BS. What in the blue hell? Dick, have you read the federalist papers...especially federalist 46? Huh?

[Restorer]

This is actually a wonderful suggestion. Most of the problems of our society have arisen from interest groups using judicial activism to bypass the amendment procedure. If gun control advocates want to come out and fight in the open to repeal the 2nd amendment, good for them! they're finally doing something in a constitutional way.

Of course, such an amendment will go nowhere (which is also exactly the way it's supposed to work).

Think how much better our society would be if abortion proponents had used similar tactics in the 60's.

[Noumenon]

So the time for pussy footing around is over. It’s time to repeal the Second Amendment. Bag it.

Mr. Dick is sooooo right. It's long past time to stop pussyfooting around. Let's get that next American Civil War going. This ought to do it.

Then, I expect we'll see if he's got the courage to live his convictions.

[spunkets]

The use of "Very, very" like "more and more" is a sign the touchy feely BS is flowing big time.

[Puppage]

Hey, DICK.....it's a good thing they don't "bag" the first amendment, huh? How about we just do away with ALL of them. Heck, if life gets better with the removal of 1 amendment, surely life becomes BLISS if we remove them all, right? Just because you're afraid & don't want to protect your family, DON'T make that decision for me.

Dick is an a**hole and a moron and an idiot and knows nothing of American history, nor, indeed the bloody history of the last century. Every SOB that has ever been in the US Congress for the last 200 years KNOWS (or knew) full well what the 2nd is all about - if any of them TRULY thought that there was NO RKBA, then they would have found a way to COMPLETELY ban guns a long time ago. No, Dick, you brainless fool, the RKBA is not only completely understood in both historical and contempory contexts, it will endure in America in some form or another long after you have become worm food.

And, as an aside, if objective truth cannot be known about the 2nd, then the whole damn Constitution is meaningless, the English language is worthless, the words of politicians and idiotic so-called "journalists" is nothing more than insane blather. So why the hell should we listen to the likes of Dick the Minor Moron?

"What the founders intended is unknowable."

Read what they wrote, Dick.

How many lies are in this article? You identified several. Also, off the top of my head, didn't a district court in Ohio rule that it was unconstitutional to deny law-abiding citizens carry permits? If I were really ambitious, I'd go looking for those threads, but it's allergy season and my eyes are burning. What a LYING sack of...something.

BTTT

If what the author advocates comes to pass, then I will either be enslaved or dead.

More likely dead...with a decent kill ratio I hope.

[muawiyah]

CBS facilities are generally protected by armed guards.

Why is it that a corporation has rights superior to an individual in those areas where guns are restricted, e.g. New York City?

I think CBS should be totally disarmed, even prohibited from hiring armed guards, before any of their corporate pitchmen are allowed to speak on company time on the issue of guns!

"What the founders intended is unknowable."

Here's the homework you should have done, lefty.
What the Founding Fathers Said About the Second Amendment and Our Right to Keep and Bear Arms

[cinFLA]

His Justice Department, in an extreme break from what LIBERAL judges and LIBERAL presidents have done for decades, is trying to establish that view of the Second Amendment as the law of the land in order to eventually rein in federal, state and local gun control laws.

[StriperSniper]

in order to eventually rein in federal, state and local gun control laws.

That would be nice. ;-) Psst!-->....... Fuckin' A right!!! Woo Hoo!!

[StriperSniper]

I wonder if this liberal prick would have the guts to pick up a firearm if such a war ever did happen?

A war to ban guns? The irony is painful. Why are they so blind?

[guitar Josh]

Perhaps Dick should read Article 1, Section 8 Clause 16 which states,” Congress shall have Power: To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia”. That is how the militia got it’s guns, not by having people bring their own guns to a battle. And that could not mean that people kept government issued weapons, as that would be the ”privilege of the people to borrow and bear arms”.
