Incorrect.How clear is the 2nd on auto weapons? Tanks? Ammo? Licensing?nope. the 2nd is clear on gun rights, the 14th is not clear on gay marriage.apples and oranges.
judges are there to enforce the law, not to make it.
You dodged the question. You expressed a desire that judges not have the power to uphold the 2nd amendment.
"right to bear arms" is clear. the word "marriage" appears nowhere in the 14th
Nowhere in the Second Amendment will you find the words 'individual' or 'self-defense,' but the Second Amendment does in fact protect an individual right to possess a handgun pursuant to the right of lawful self-defense, just as the Constitution protects the right to marry.
“But that's not in the Constitution” is a failed and ignorant 'argument.'
NO, its a very valid argument, based on a literal reading of the constitution. Making racial and religious protections applicable to sexual abnormality is NOT a valid interpretation of the constitution. If it was then you would have to argue in favor of pedifilia and beastiality, because a small % of the populations considers those aberations to be normal.
