or do you not believe in majorities as counted in the united states? if it was put on a national ballot gun regulation would win 60 something % of the vote.

I believe a majority of anti-gun weenies is of no consequence. |

If the Constitution can be said to do one thing it is to frustrate and render impotent the ignorant, emotional whims of "the majority" to use the government to act against our original, fundamental rights: "The very purpose of the Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote they depend on the outcome of no elections." I say let the Democrat ignoramuses work themselves into a frenzy writing Bills that will never become law. They have legislative blue-balls, you are correct on that, and they are compelled to act -- not so much in the public interest but to poke a stick in the eye of US gun owners and especially, the NRA. The Democrats have nothing but spite and hate motivating them.

Free speech is regulated. Assembly and practice of your religion are regulated. None of these is open completely no-matter-what to an individual's interpretation. The second amendment likewise. Hello. ![]()

Even your anti-2nd amendment article admits that gun control was one of the issues that led to their loss. The author is nothing more than a gun control zealot trying to make pushing anti-2nd amendment laws at the federal level seem like no big deal. https://www.usnews.com/news/articles...s-lost-in-1994 The truth, political scientists say, is that it can be attributed to a combination of factors, and the "assault weapons" ban was just one of several controversial votes that led to the loss.

Of course free speech is regulated. Otherwise, dumbasses would go around greeting strangers with something like, "Good morning, Shlthead. I'm going to beat the crap out of you." The same way the unalienable right to bear arms does not grant anybody the right to murder, or wanton shooting. |
