"shall not be infringed"


I mean that is pretty self explanatory.

Mentally ill? Felons? Convicted of domestic abuse? Under indictment for a charge carrying > 1 year sentence? Most people obviously agree with restrictions but bicker over where you draw the line.

Interpretation of 2A is where the right tries to ignore originalism

Graham running in 2024 and winning (not gonna happen as things stand now) after Trump would be akin to Bush Sr's term which retroactively undermined Reagan's legacy in a massive way

usually comes after they have committed crimes that would make them felons.

getting convicted of crimes makes citizens lose rights. Is that hard to comprehend?

Graham is pimping himself for a run in 2020. And he's getting help from MSM, or he wouldn't be on TV damn near every day.

He's a never-Trumper who is playing a slippery game of pushing gun confiscation while pretending to be a Good Old Country Boy.

He's a RINO.

He's dying to make another run at the Presidency. Gets his face on TV every chance he gets. A solid RINO - but blows smoke up the Deplorable's skirts as often as he can.


It would put Dems in a bind. How to oppose the first openly gay Presidential candidate?

My solution? We stop worrying about faux-threats designed to scare people into surrendering their rights.

And we spend out time worrying about things that actually have a damn decent chance of killing us - like heart disease, car accidents, and home slip-and-fall accidents. All far more likely to happen to us than some deranged killer randomly showing up at our house and killing you.

Of course none of those things empower the government so you can bet they’ll go largely ignored by people obsentsiblely (liars) out to “save lives”.

Given our rates of obesity, heart disease and diabetes—forks are way more dangerous to us than mentally-ill people wielding guns.

It’s not even close.

You are far too uneducated and outright ignorant to make a go at this concept. Go back to your rock child...

I should have known better than to ask a scatter-brain like you an open-ended question like that.

Yeah, they all have limits. For example,

Ah, the resort to personal insult. Telling. You gave literally no rebuttal-because you can't. Hard data backs me up solidly. You got the answer you asked for. If you aren't mature enough to handle it... I can't help you.

Red Flag Laws are open to subjective interpretation. Who is to say at some point just owning a gun will be deemed a violation of the red flag law.

Maybe a three psychiatrist panel, 2 of the 3 agreeing as to serious mental defect of the subject means temporarily taking guns with reassessments by same panel every 6 months for up to 2 years to monitor rehabilitation. If no rehabilitation within 2 years, seizure of guns goes final with the ability to petition a court within 90 days to review the panel's decision...an appeal essentially. The subject is afforded free legal counsel throughout. Sounds quite expensive but since when did that matter.

IDK....like I said I want a very pro-2nd amendment guy writing it making it idiot proof.

The problem isn't idiots. The problem is evil people who deliberately attempt to circumvent the plain meaning of something to achieve a political end. 'shall not be infringed' is pretty idiot proof, yet we still have a problem with anti constitutional gun controllers.
