speaking of gun control
« Reply #60 on: May 09, 2003, 11:10:09 AM »
MT.. not sure if any gun control laws have been abandoned based on 2nd amendment rights but many gun control laws have been recinded and it would be silly to believe that if we didn't have a 2nd amendment right that they would have been.     I mean... if we didn't have the 2nd amendment we wouldn't be able to buy ammo and we wouldn't even have a use for record keeping of ammo sales much less recinding said record keeping... kinda chicken and egg.

I disagree lazs. Check it out. Restrictions on firearm ownership (gun control laws) have never been overturned based upon the 2nd amendment. Even that famouse case down in Texas (whos name escapes me) was overturned based on "Due Process" not 2nd amendment rights.

I don't see your point...  the laws are overturned... if we didn't have gun rights they wouldn't be.   They wouldn't even exist...There would not be any cause to .... you are saying that the gun rights people are as gutless as the gun control advocates?   I agree.... neither side wants to openly defend or challenge the 2nd.

Airhead: ...NRA is to the Second Amendment as PETA is to animal rights. They are of the extreme positions of their advocacy.

 Not even close.

 NRA is fighting to protect certain existing rights from infringement. Protecting existing right of the people does not restrict any other rights of the people.

 PETA is fighting to create new rights that never existed before. Creation of new rights does restrict existing rights of the people by placing new obligations on the people to respect whatever those new rights consist of.

 NRA is about fixing that which is broken and preventing further damage. PETA is about creation of a totally new thing. It may be a good thing but the cases are clearly different and have different priorities.

 If the existing rights are not respected and are unconstitutionally violated by the government, it reduces the urgency of enacting more rights to be disregarded.

 Was it a federal or a State case? States can impose restrictions that federal government may not according to the Constitution.

I have no problem at all with gun control.... I just feel that it should be up to the individual to do the controling.
