Much like the First Amendment, the Second Amendment is NOT unlimited.golfboy » 08 Jun 2022, 10:11 pm » wrote: ↑Alcohol and renting cars are not constitutionally protected rights.Misty » 08 Jun 2022, 10:01 pm » wrote: ↑ That's one.
There were 'good guys with guns' at many mass shootings that were of no use at all and in the case of Buffalo ended up dead themselves.
But you cling to that one.
And BTW when police arrive at the scene and two people are firing at each other, how do they know which one is the good guy and which one is the bad guy?
People are fed up with the usual arguments and talking points used by gun fetishists.
They are demanding action.
There is no good reason why an 18 year old should be allowed to buy an AR-15.
They can't even legally buy alcohol until they are 21 or rent a car until they are 25.
The right to bear arms is, and even the 9th Circuit Court has ruled the 18 year old prohibition is unconstitutional.
If you believe the Constitution should be changed, than amend it.
There is no constitutionally protected right to own any kind of a weapon you want to.
Scalia said so in the Heller decision.
If that were the case then fully automatic weapons (machine guns) would be legal, and they are not.
We had an assault weapons ban in this country for ten years before it was allowed to expire.
It was never ruled unconstitutional.
