James, you've already demonstrated you don't care about your 2A rights. I know you said you didn't think creepy joe was serious, but I know you're not that stupid. You guys need to make up your minds: am I stupid, or clever? Jim I didn't say you weren't stupid. I said you weren't THAT stupid.

Have not read all these replies, however my simple minded conclusion of the argument is that the constitution was based for the continuous life of this country as written and not to be infringed upon with more change to it's basic script.
Adding more to it as more amendments is a court thing, which should be closely watched, as in stacking the court, which is obviously why the Democrats wish to add more members now, due to them continually losing in this area of our country's workings.
This written document say's what it needs and does not in my view say anything else, whether one looks at it today in our vernacular or whether you see it for what it is meant for the life of the country, which is what it should be looked for, not for use as a new invented, reverified, newly discovered meaning something for just a certain few who can't seem to get over the fact that those who wrote it were obviously looking forward in our country's future use of it !
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

Self-defense is a natural reflex.......yet some holier-than-thou's think they can call you a criminal after the fact for defending yourself. That's why society is in the mess it's in. Humans are doing things to their own that the most vicious of wild animals don't do....yet we are the dominant species on earth. Pretty scary. Scarier than a ghost gun.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

I have a question . I keep hearing my GOD given rights a lot , please show me where I can find a list of these rights. They aren't in the bible. It gives you the choice to have salvation but I don't see these rights some of you keep quoting. You are correct.

It gives you the choice to have salvation but I don't see these rights some of you keep quoting. You are correct. They are Natural Rights. Human rights. They come with you at birth.....like a warranty. The earliest discussions of natural law and natural rights were among the ancient Greeks about 1500 BC. You can find them alluded to, obliquely, in Romans 2, 14&15 You can also find them alluded to in the Declaration of Independence, which specifically cites Natural Law and Nature's God. "........certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". These are all natural rights. Not created by man. I find it interesting that it specifies the right to life.........which therefore must have a corollary that represents the human right to self defense. How else to secure the unalienable right to life ?? Seems to me this is integral to the 2nd amendment and arguments over what it permits and doesn't permit

I don't understand what Hobbie means by God is used by believers and non-believers just defend themselves by any means but I suspect there is a trace of "whatever will be, will be " in there some where. That makes as much sense as saying Jesus made grape juice instead of real wine because God would never enable people to hurt others, but without dynamite how would this land ever have been cleared for farming?
God is used by believers because that is where they are born from. A nonbeliever still believes they are born with a right to defend themselves by whatever means necessary.

I'll work within our established political system--Congress, the courts, and local officials--to try to preserve our rights.
Jim Would we be having this discussion if our founders had thought the same way! I say there are only 2 kinds of rights.................those that you hold and protect by force. Those you are willingly granted by your neighbors.

This simplified list of human rights, for example, is from a United Nations document created in 1948, “A Universal Declaration of Human Rights.” If you are looking for God-given rights, representatives from around the world agreed that these are the birthright of every human being. The complete version of this document can be downloaded for free from the internet.

We cannot give them to some and take them away from others, or give some to one person and others to someone else. The Right to Life.We all have the right to life, and to live in freedom and safety. We should work to keep others from being abandoned or forgotten by society, so that all people can live their lives. Childhood needs to be protected by all adults for all children. No Slavery.Nobody has any right to make us a slave. We cannot make anyone our slave. No Torture. Nobody has any right to hurt us or to torture us. You Have Rights No Matter Where You Go.These rights travel with you, from home to work to school, in private and public, from state to state, from country to country. We’re All Equal Before the Law. The law is the same for everyone. It must treat us all fairly. The laws apply to everyone equally, no exceptions. Your Human Rights Are Protected by Law.We can all ask for the law to help us when we are not treated fairly. No Unfair Detainment.Nobody has the right to put us in prison without good reason and keep us there, or to send us away from our country. The Right to Trial.If we are put on trial, this should be in public. The people who try us should not let anyone tell them what to do. We’re Always Innocent Until Proven Guilty.Nobody should be blamed for doing something until it is proven. When people say we did a bad thing we have the right to show it is not true. The Right to Privacy.Nobody should try to harm our good name. Nobody has the right to come into our home, open our letters, or bother us or our family without a good reason. Freedom to Move.

Right to a Nationality.We all have the right to belong to a country, even if we had to flee our country of origin. Marriage and Family. Every grown-up has the right to marry and have a family if they want to. Men and women have the same rights when they are married, and when they are separated. The Right to Your Own Things.

We all have the right to affordable housing, medicine, education, and childcare, enough money to live on and medical help if we are ill or old. Workers’ Rights. Every grown-up has the right to do a job, to receive a fair wage for their work, and to join a trade union. The Right to Play. We all have the right to rest from work and to relax. Food and Shelter for All. We all have the right to a good life. Mothers and children, people who are old, unemployed or disabled, and all people have the right to be cared for. The Right to Education. Education is a right. Primary school should be free. We should learn about the United Nations and how to get along with others. Copyright. Copyright is a special law that protects one’s own artistic creations and writings; others cannot make copies without permission. We all have the right to our own way of life and to enjoy the good things that art, science and learning bring. A Fair and Free World.

Do not believe in God? That's OK, you still have been born with certain and unalienable rights....just like the man who does not believe in the sun is still warmed by its rays....just like the man who realizes that the sun is there.

Okay. So go down to the federal courthouse and shout, "Bomb!" and see what happens.
Jim You prove my point...and that of Justice Holmes. Speech that is dangerous and TRUE is protected by the first amendment. Speech that is dangerous and FALSE is not Forget it Ken, he will ignore yours or anyone's point when he's wrong. If James wanted to compare apples to apples the SC should have erased "bomb" or "fire" from the dictionary It's the intent that's been banned no inanimate words. Guns are inanimate objects until someone uses them for a nefarious purpose It will have to get worse before it gets better
