Same language is used in several voting rights amendment.Correct.no its not,, it took a congressional vote to get to vote..they can vote to take it away,. the 2nd comes from our humanity and cant be voted on legally,,So is voting.its a constitutional right and not subject to a license,,,What's the problem with issuing federal licensing for gun ownership?We are spending trillions of dollars on these stimulus bills. Why not take some of it and issue everyone a federal ID?
Now poor blacks can afford it.
The 2nd was voted on as an amendment, and can be voted on to be amended.
That's why it's called an amendment, and not an entitlement.
Which means it can be voted to take away.
The 15th amendment, 19th amendment, and 26th amendment, are just as sacrosanct as the 2nd amendment, and can also be amended.
There is nothing special at all about the 2nd amendment, than any other amendment in the Constitution.
In theory, the Constitution can be amended to repeal the Second Amendment.
That theory is wrong.....
From the Heller decision.....
We look to this because it has always been widely understood that the Second Amendment, like the First and Fourth Amendments, codified a pre-existing right.
The very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it “shall not be infringed.”
As we said in United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542, 553 (1876), “[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed . . . .”16
And it always cracks me up when you imply god gave you the right to own guns.
