"...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

It says our rights "shall not be infringed." Appears to me that the second amendment protects our right to keep and bear arms from being infringed upon by any government.

I just did a quick read of this thread. I simply cannot comprehend the obtuse Keyes bashers. Here you have the only nationally known politician having the guts to say we have a right to machine guns, and the left leaning bashers are arguing he is not conservative enough on the right to bear arms, ROTFLMAO!

They are more concerned with machine-gun-Alan's supposed lack of fidelity to gun rights than they are with President Bush's anti-gun stands. The irony is too thick.

Then, Obama's cheerleaders have the nerve to suggest they get banned or suspended because they're winning the argument, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. But that logic, the trolls are intellectual gods, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Thank you.

We can agree that States do not have the power to ignore the Constitution on basic individual rights.

Keyes often gives the impression, [mostly in the heat of his speeches], that he thinks otherwise.
This confuses some of his supporters into thinking he advocates State controls over some of our unenumerated rights.
Unfortunately, imo, he never gets around to clarifying those issues quite enough.

I just said the same thing, and you told me I was posting nonsense.

Was I a tad long-winded or something?
