So am I right in my belief that every single law - city, county, state and federal - that restricts or prohibits gun ownership is infringing upon my right to bear arms? If that's the case, why are those laws still on the books!

Blue said...

That is my opinion as well, yes.

Why are those laws on the books? Because we allow it.

Vicki, I have said it before, countless times... If local governing bodies, as well as the Federal government, are allowed to interpret, define, restrict, suspend, and create rules that they can enforce with the threat of violence or imprisonment regarding the 2nd, they can do the same with the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 14th, or any other section of the Constitution. That is simple logic. That was never the intention of the Founders.

Never, either, was it the intention of the Founders to allow incessant interpretation by the courts of clearly written laws that are easily understood by the common man...

When a license, permit, or background check is required to exercise a right, it is no longer a right, but a privilege which can be revoked at any time. This is exactly where we're at now, folks...

Pete... Exactly!

It doesn't apply to just firearms. It applies to knives, phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range, and all other arms necessary to remove a tyrannical government. People either do not know, forget, or don't want to accept that the British soldiers were sent to seize military weapons including cannons at Concord.
