Quite simply, they would rather be known at FR as anti-gun nuts, than admit that they are wrong on this issue. Weird fellas.
No these "facts" on both sides are just various legal opinions based on the interpretation of the 2nd amendment by various courts. The "facts" and history is that some states regulate the hell out of guns and some do not. That is "facts AND history". The Gun rights advocates in California have finally understood that and are now shifting their focus to amend the California State constitution. All they need are approx. 600,000 signatures to get it on the ballot. Now, tell me some more "facts and history".
Why do you insist that californians do not? Who gave the state of CA the power to prohibit that unalienable right?
Tex, what is the irony in an amendment that holds states to the same LIMITATIONS as the fedgov, boy. How is that "defending big government" Being a smug ass don't trump much you know. And I don't care how old you are, two years of experience repeated fourty times is still ignorence.
Site Cruikshank all you want. It is lousey case law based on Judicial racism and says more about you sweethearts than it does about RKBA
I asked you above. Answer the question, boy. Posting court cites out of context just shows rank ingnorence. Why don't you articulate why you back these findings, not just parrot the fedgov line. And why is holding states to the BoR backing big government? If the Bor LIMITS the fed, why would the same limit on states equall big government?<p.The 14th may be the only contemporary amendment that does not grant more power to government at some level, in keeping with the first ten.
The Irony is that the ONLY thing the 14th amendment has done since its inception is to expand the power of tyhe Federal Government. The 14th amendment even gave you your much hated "war on drugs". You idiots lack the reasoning power of a hamster.
Because the state of california has too many nuts like you to allow for guns. Sarcasm.

Not at all. It has curbed the states from violating individuals civil rights, and little enough of that. -- The feds & the states are co-operating on the expansion of ALL government. As you well know.

Idiotic, unbackable claim, weasel. -- The 14th had NOTHING to do with the WOD's.

Tex, your weaseling 'sarcasm' grows thin. -- You use it every time you're backed into a logical corner.
Get some new techniques to substitute for your lack of smarts. -- Try roscoe, he's gotum all.
You have a point. I really wasn't being sarcastic just honest. Thanks for the correction.
LMAO. I read his "cite". It was a litany of disagreement with a certain court decision. However the FACT is, their argument obviously failed. Now didn't it?
Right under the big, -empty,- hat.
Not at all. Remember your disingenuous challenge to MileHi last night. You wanted him to cite precedents you knew didn't exist. However, that doesn't discount the fact that several months ago every media outlet in the country carried the story of Ashcroft's reversal of the justice department's stance regarding the 2nd being a "collective" right. (effectively shreading your position) While he may not have had fact in hand; he wasn't wrong. Of course the weasels will refrain from any challenges until they get an AG who will support their adgenda, but that won't mean their still full of it.
Do you cheat at solitaire?
