Is it time to talk about guns?

Overturning a precedent which was accepted as a fundamental constitutional right for over fifty years (Roe)is unprecedented. Concealed carry was never established as a fundamental right. Once again, Scalia specifically cites "the majority of the 19th-century courts to consider the question held that prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons were lawful under the Second Amendment or state analogues. See, e.g., State v. Chandler, 5 La. Ann., at 489–490; Nunn v. State, 1 Ga., at 251; see generally 2 Kent *340, n. 2; The American Students’ Blackstone 84, n. 11 (G. Chase ed. 1884)."

 

Do you see any of this in my questions ?

Just answer the question.

 

I agreed with the first quote. What questions haven't I answered?

 

You might take look at it yourself, especially the part where Scalia elaborates on how Second Amendment rights aren't asbolute.

 

No. Just the ones who oppose any reasonable regulations on the use of firearms, from background checks through limits on concealed carry and semiautomatics. And in particular, the glinty-eyed ones in Texas who booed Sen Cornyn for daring to consider any limits reasonable compromise on the gun issue.

 

The recent decision says traditional uses. That would mean muskets, wouldn't it.

 

Your persistent refusal to address the arguments suggests either inability to comprehend them or a dodge. Citing facts, facts, and more facts is meaningless if they have no direct bearing on the issues.

 

umm, the gubment just infringed on your right, today.

 

But the courts never before interpreted it as conferring absolute rights or precluding bans on certain weapons. And the Courts did attach significance to the language about a "well-regulated militia". With D.C v. Heller, they stopped doing that, but Scalia went on and on about how it could reasonably be limited. (Read my posts supra).

 

Hate to break it to you pal, but your "free state of existence" ,has always been subject to the limits the law as interpreted by courts have set on it. Women found that out today!

 

After you Sir ,

 

See post #2134

 

You need to be told that the most updated information from the FBI is from 2019 ?

That bad people used various way to murder others ?

I’ll break it down for you, beginning with the top used weapons

1.Handgun ……6368
2. Knives ……..1476
3.Hands ……….600
4.Blunt objects. 397
5.Rifles………...364
6.Shotgun……..200
7.other weapons 840

I did not copy everything on the list , but total murdered in 2019 = 13927 people

As can be seen Handguns and Knives top the list.

 

1 They're severely restricted, not banned.
2 If you want a fully automatic firearm, you can have one. Bumpstocks? Not really sure why but people are constantly trying to build a better mousetrap.
3 Firearms are not a clear and present danger.
4 I don't believe you're interpreting that decision properly. Your view is at odds with my personal experience and 2.5 centuries of American history.
