The 2nd amendment does not say "Except for felons" or "Except as provided by law". Why not?

Why? Because crimes were delt with instantly back then so criminals never had a chance to own guns once captured.

As an excon i have 0 problems with the law. You reap what you sew
Prohibiting convicted felons from possessing firearms is rationally based, supported by objective, documented evidence, representing a compelling governmental interest, pursuant to a legitimate legislative end.
TRANSLATION: I can't argue against the solution offered by the OP, so I'll pretend he never said it. I'll then pretend the Framers intended government to have some power to restrict guns even though the laws they wrote obviously allow for none.
In addition to saying that felons my not possess firearms, the Second Amendment also says that undocumented immigrants are prohibited persons, where their prosecution for possessing firearms or ammunition is Constitutional
Like that.

Well, now that you put it that way...

You're just as wrong as you were before. Hazlnut gave you Justice Scalia's take on whether or not Amendment II was written in stone and inviolate in his decision in DC v. Heller. Here is the first line Hazlnut cited in his Post #150, to refresh you memory:
"Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited." In other words, your "TRANSLATION" is bloody WRONG!

In my own Post #140, I cited a series of gun control laws passed by Congress in the last 85 years in a reply to you:
"1. National Firearms Act - 1934
2. Federal Firearms Act - 1938
3. Gun Control Act - 1968
4. Law Enforcement Officers Protection Act - 1986
5. Firearms Owners' Protection Act - 1986
6. Crime Control Act - 1990
7. Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act - 1994
8. Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act - 1994


Given all that gun control legislation noted above, it looks like your assertion that such legislation is unconstitutional doesn't hold water in that bullet ridden bucket you're carrying for the NRA."


There is no doubt you're assertions are in gross error. You have the intent of Congress and the interpretation of SCOTUS against you. Will you still insist everyone else is wrong as a stubborn child would?
And each act perfectly Constitutional and in compliance with the Second Amendment.

The Second Amendment right is not unlimited, and subject to reasonable restrictions by government.

This is a settled and accepted fact of Constitutional law, regardless the OP's subjective, errant opinion.
 
You're just as wrong as you were before.
True enough. I was right then, and I'm right now.

TRANSLATION: little hazelnut didn't dare quote what the 2nd amendment actually says, so he changed the subject and talked about what judges said instead.
In my own Post #140, I cited a series of gun control laws passed by Congress
TRANSLATION: I didn't dare talk about what the 2nd amendment actually says either, so I changed the subject as quickly as little hazlnut did, and talked abut what Congress said instead.

So far no one has been able to point out where the 2nd amendment allows for ANY exceptions to its ban on govt restricting guns. All they can do is point to what people who DIDNT write the 2nd, say... people who likewise couldn't show where the 2nd allowed any exceptions, and so had to make them up out of thin air. And hope to fool people into believing the Framers didn't mean what they wrote and ratified.

The only people who have ANY authority to make exceptions to what the 2nd says, are juries.

But liberals hate that, since they know juries will excuse cops (sometimes) and not excuse criminals (usually) - the exact opposite of what the liberal fanatics want.

Worse, the liberal fanatics know that they (and their cohorts in the press) can't influence the jury. It's the worst of all worlds for the liberal fanatics, who depend on the law not being upheld.
 
It does say....A well regulated militia being necessary for a free state
A "condition" debunked many times on this forum. Apparently little rightwinger thinks enough time has gone by that he can try to fool people into thinking it's true again.

How do you view our gun policy and second amendment? | Page 4 | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum


I know, I know

If the founders had wanted to make gun rights absolute they could have written it as such

The right to bear arms shall not be infringed PERIOD
They did not



DINGLE BERRY , SIR.

THE BILL OF RIGHTS WAS ADOPTED IN ORDER TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE PEOPLE RETAINED CERTAIN RIGHTS. THEY WERE ******NOT*****CONFERRING AUTHORITY ON THE GOVERNMENT TO REGULATE.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE IF THE FOUNDERS WANTED OUR RIGHT TO DEFEND OUR LIVES REGULATED THEN YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE BODY OF THE CONSTITUTION AND FIND A PROVISO WHICH STATES

"CONGRESS SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO REGULATE THE PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENCE BY APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION."


FIND THAT PROVISO THEN, AND ONLY THEN, RE-POST.

THAT IS CORRECT.


IF YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE THEN

You're clueless about the Law and the Constitution!
 
I had wondered why there had been no conditions placed on arms myself and looked to historically relevant justification.
Seems it may have something to do with the 1st Amendment. It seems that not all that long before the founders drafted the BILL OF Rights, the right of Catholics to keep and bear arms had been severely restricted. This was probably in the back of their minds as they debated the 2nd Amendment.


something to research thanks
 
indeed that is how gun control works

the nazis outlawed guns for the jew gypsy and anyone else not in the party

in fact one of the first gun laws in the states banned blacks from owning firearms

gun control is not about controlling guns or crime

it is about controlling people
 
Why? Because crimes were delt with instantly back then so criminals never had a chance to own guns once captured.

It used to be, in MA, that the local police chiefs had sole discretion or whether or not to issue a handgun permit to citizens with no explanation necessary. Recently, they passed legislation that they have to give a reason why now.

According to the application that is only if you are getting the permit so you can use your gun as part of your employment.

That is actually a reason that lets you bypass the 'only if we say so" part of the permit, and then you can only carry when on the job.

My question is, doesn't this seem like "infringement" to you?
