If republicans want the 2nd amendment to work like the 1st, ANYONE should be able to buy a gun

Of course, since it’s already illegal for felons and kids to buy guns from a licensed business, we already have gun control laws. Why would it be wrong or unconstitutional to make more gun control laws? We already have some.

Or should we just treat it like the 1st amendment and let any of those people buy guns?

1st Amendment rights are not absolute either.
Try yelling "BOMB" on a plane & see how that works out.


Stopping dangerous lunatics from getting guns is the same.
Trying to strip 2A rights based on such feeble arguments is pretty pathetic

Strawman for an OP eh? How far do you expect to go with this?

But since we already have gun control laws, we might as well create more. Your subjective view of more laws does not matter. It has a legal precedent therefore we can create more.

So this must mean that the 1st Amendment means anyone can say whatever they want, right? But we both know that is not entirely true, don’t we?

Children, those with mental disabilities, and convicted felons can already get guns. It's not because we want them to, it's because you assholes don't enforce the laws that are already on the books.

The point of the first amendment is that you cannot be charged with a crime for your speech. That’s all it boils down to.

Lol so you’re saying these three types of people buy guns all the time?

 

[Billy000]

They don’t. It just stands to reason that it wouldn’t be unconstitutional to create more gun control laws.

Well that was about as well thought out as a pig doing calculus.
Make bomb threats against the White House, Yell fire in a crowded theater. Threaten to kill someone. Every thing has limits. The first amendment is no different. There are limits to it as well.
We have rules and regulations for reasons. Most are there for common sense.

 

[Leweman]

The 1st seems to be pretty restrictive these days.

Just like the "fire in theater" argument, it is not a very good comparison.

If one gets in trouble with the law, it has nothing to do with what they said.
They will be charged with the crime of inciting a riot or endangering public safety.

It's not really a First Amendment issue, and statutes addressing the crimes are not predicated by what the person says ...
only the results and consequences of their saying it.

In comparison to the Second Amendment, it is much the same way.
Statutes already address murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault and even unlawful discharge of a firearm.

And since the first and second already have limitations, it would not be unconstitutional to create more gun control laws.

More than they should, especially the convicted felons and nutcases. But your liberal prosecutors won't lock them up, and your liberalized mental health system just gives them drugs and sends them home.

Until you start enforcing the existing laws and impressing on people that there are consequences to their actions, you're going to see nothing but more criminal behavior.

It’s the latter.

Seems to be the opposite. Feel free to prove otherwise though.

Liar, it's all over the news, you vermin don't enforce them. I mean, what makes scum like this no good loser lie constantly?
