That wasn’t clearly understood by me, and probably by anybody that read it.
Explain your whole understanding and interpretation of the Second Amendment. That might paint a clearer picture.
My whole point is that my opinion doesn't matter and neither does yours. The constitution does not give us the right to legally interpret it. There is a system in place for creating, enforcing, and challenging laws--the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the government.
We elect people to the executive to appoint people to the judicial that are confirmed by the legislative branch of government. These checks and balances are the bedrock of our country.
Conservatives live within the law as a matter of principle. We don't kill abortion providers even if we are antiabortion. We work to get people elected so that the constitution can be amended to prevent abortion. We work within the system.
Plaxico broke an existing law and should pay the penalty for doing so. He has lots of money and therefore probably very good attorneys. If he wants to challenge the law on constitutional grounds and wins, he won't be punished for carrying the gun. That would then be what he deserves.
Plaxico wasn't trying to test the second amendment, he was just arrogant. He knew that the club was safe because they had metal detectors at the door. He was the only fool in the club packing heat. By shooting himself, he gave every anti-gun nut a talking point- he REALLY WAS in more danger with the gun than without it.
