What the 2nd Amendment didn't say

<< < (2/4) > >>

I don't think many people understand the concept of RIGHT by any interpretation. Just the fact that we need background checks, purchase permits, mandatory training and carry permits makes this pretty clear.

The recent events of children suspended from school for pointing a finger like a gun, parents bashing a teacher because a _un card had a picture of a gun to fill in the missing letter, a student suspended for wearing a Marines tee shirt with a pair of crossed AR's below the word.

Or this:
Caro, MI (KTNV) -- The father of a Michigan third grade student was fired up over a controversy caused by cupcakes.
 
Last week, Casey Fountain's son had a birthday party at school.
 
To celebrate, his wife baked 30 cupcakes for the entire class then topped them with those green plastic Army men.
 
That's when he said the principal called him and said decorating cupcakes with soldiers was insensitive, considering recent gun-related tragedies.
 
But the call didn't sit well with Fountain, "I think it's disgusting that they won't allow them in our schools. They are lumping them together with sociopaths that shoot children, because they use the same tool."
 
The school had the figures removed from the cupcakes.

"insensitive"?   Where, in the 1st Amendment is being "insensitive" defined?  By whose definition is it determined that something said or done is "insensitive"?  The principle is too stupid to realize that soldiers in uniform did not shoot up Sandy Hook, or he deliberately ignored that fact so he could express his disdain for the soldiers who keep him free.   

The "John Kerry's" on the Far Left  were the people who were spitting on the Viet Nam vets in the 70s and calling them "baby killers" as they walked off the airplanes.   In my book THAT is insensitive and unpatriotic.

Say some thing enough times.
It will become an urban legend and then a Law to most people.  :o

Just like things they see posted on the internet.

and we all know where that leads.   ::)

Exactly.  Most of the time I write such things, the questions are rhetorical.  The primary reason for the question, actually all of what I wrote, is that it seems pro-constitution Americans are always defending the 2nd Amendment based on the ludicrous definitions and assumptions of those opposed.

How many times have we heard citizens do not need "assault weapons" because "the militia" is obsolete, due to the armed forces, police, etc.  I would say it amazes me that some could find such meaning in the verbiage, but knowing their true goals puts all of the languid logic and red herrings in a proper place.

I still  boggle at the drive to eliminate "high capacity" magazines.  I think mostly I hear a ten round limit, but I think I read fifteen in the Colorado legislation.  I could be wrong.  They push this nonsense with a straight face, knowing full well the facts, such as the "assault rifle" used in the Columbine shooting only having ten round magazines...but he had thirteen of them.

There are simply too many Americans who do not think for themselves.  They swallow whole everything shoved in their face and then line up to vote based on a head full of nonsense and lies.

Dan W:
If I recall, the Supreme Court majority in Heller v DC found that the fundamental right to bear arms in defense of self predated the Constitution, and that the Bill of Rights merely affirmed the natural right to self defense, and limited the governments power to infringe upon it.
