Why would anyone object to Virginia’s new gun laws?

That is what the weapons nuts have done to America. Make it not safe to even go to a place of worship or into a school or a mall or movie theater without being murdered by a crazy person with a weapon.
Note how Dana here - like all leftists - blames those who support the U.S. Constitution instead of the criminal? What does that tell you???
 
Sensible legislation

Virginia gun laws: What sparked Richmond gun rally tied to neo-Nazis?

Three bills passed the state Senate on Thursday: A limit to one handgun purchase per month, a requirement for universal background checks on gun sales and a rule allowing localities to ban guns in some public areas.

because they violate the Constitution.

That should be enough even for you.

Do they? That's hardly a given...

"The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms."

Most gun laws violate the Constitution, even if the courts let them stand.

Afraid they do not
The courts get to interpret the Constitution, not anonymous internet posters
Poor guy your gonna hate America and Virginia soon lol
 
That is not what the 2nd amendment says. You only quoted a part of it. Why don’t don’t you try something novel and actually read it.
I have. Literally thousands of times. And it could not be more clear: “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”.

It’s an inalienable right and it belongs to the people (not some imagined militia).
You know, the Framers were not stupid. They could have just written “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” without mention of a well-regulated militia. They did not, did they?

Well-regulated militia refers to the state not to the individual. It is not an inalienable right to the people , or rather individuals, to bear arms and for nearly two hundred years the Supreme Court did not think so either.

YOU CANT INFRINGE ON OUR RIGHTS
That is not what our Constitution says. If you were American you would know our Constitution is more specific about infringement of specific rights and rights themselves. Many Americans don't really fully understand their rights, so Russian trolls certainly should not be expected to understand them..
Huh
Our 2nd Amendment is very specific. It says we have a right to "keep and bear arms". It also mentions ", a well-regulared militia ", hence, the government has authority for implementing rules.



I would also include the Commerce Clause in the constitution.

It's one simple sentence and there are no exceptions for weapons.

The government has the right to regulate commerce. Buying and selling a weapon is commerce.

This is all common sense. The character of the people who oppose them has been shown for all Americans to see. They respect nothing about our nation, our Constitution, or our laws. We will not be frightened of them or let them have their way with us.
^^ Has no idea what "shall not be infringed" means. Your stupid is non refundable.
You don’t understand well regulated.
 
None of these laws would have stopped the Virginia Beach shooting
A gun ban would, but we could never pass that

So we have to nibble at the edges and pass piecemeal legislation
 
3. Allow localities to ban guns in some public areas

What ever happened to local rule? If a locality wants to ban carrying guns in parks and playgrounds, why shouldn’t they?


Right,

because assholes looking to make a name for themselves never carry firearms into Gun Free Zones.

It does, however, prevent people with guns from defending people in those areas

True
But do we need armed fans at football games? Do you want that drunk idiot sitting next to you being armed?

Do you want someone capable to take him out before he shoots you?

Should that church a week ago have been a gun free zone, and allowed even more people to be killed?
Do you really want to live in a society where you can’t even pray in a house of worship without the fear that someone will put a bullet in you?



We already do.

All a person has to do is a simple search on church shooting and a list of them will pop up.

That is what the weapons nuts have done to America. Make it not safe to even go to a place of worship or into a school or a mall or movie theater without being murdered by a crazy person with a weapon.

Let us know your winning strategy for preventing 'crazy people' from obtaining firearms.

WITHOUT infringing on the rights on the non-crazies.
 
Well-regulated militia refers to the state not to the individual.
“Well-regulated militia” also refers to the why. It is the prefatory clause. They were merely explaining why they were giving the people the right to keep and bear arms.

The what (or operative clause) was “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. This could not be more fucking clear and you know it.

This has been Constitution 101. Class dismissed.
 
NRA lobbying weakened their ability to keep guns away from criminals. We see this everywhere.
The NRA has absolutely no power to “weaken” the ATF. None. The ATF must obey the law and the NRA does not create law - Congress does. Did you drop out of school before they covered government, son?
 
1. A limit of one handgun purchase per month

How does being able to purchase over 12 handguns a month make you safer? Unlimited handgun purchases opens a path to shill purchasers where a legal buyer can buy guns to sell to criminals






How does a limit on the number of guns a collector can buy decrease the small criminal element from committing crimes?
What it does is prevent a legal buyer from conducting straw purchases of handguns and selling them to criminals for profit

Yes they do, that’s why they lobby obviously.
