    Same part that allows all federal gun control. Commerce clause

    As you are applying it it is in direct conflict with the Second Amendment phrase "shall not be infringed". The Second Amendment should trump (pun) Commerce. If the Commerce Clause is used to regulate guns out of existence how is that not infringing?

    The 2nd limits the commerce clause, just as it limits every other power granted to the federal government.

    I was asking Vegas to explain his response to your post. He did at post #151.

    Agreed.

    1, They are called amendments for a reason.
    2. Then keep your gun on your own property.
    3. As number 2

    And so, you agree with all of my points as a sound response in opposition to his proposal.
    Thank you

    Not sure if I am agreeing with you but I see no problem with guns that never leave private property. Different rules for hunting. Your point number 1 is definitely wrong because amendments can change any parts of the constitution so can be amended to state that a license is required

    The entire point of my response was to illustrate the fallacy of linking the privileges associates with driving a car on public roads with the basic exercise of the right to keep and bear arms. Apparently you agree.
    Has the constitution been amended to allow a state to require a license to exercise a right?
    No? How then am I wrong?

    I am for common sense regulations. And enforcing them.
    But to say we won't do a single thing because that means it will lead to total confiscation is narrow minded. Guns will never be in a total ban, in our lifeimes our our grandkids. That's the NRA playing to a base with scare tactics.



    Don't know if anyone will watch the video. Since it's obama, but I post it anyway. Common sense talks and solutions.

    And it will take decades to get results. But we have to take the 1st step.

    No one is going to regulate guns out of existence.
    Why are their barriers to automatic rifles? Hand grenades? Etc? Because they are dangerous to society?

    Are there bars in the country that allow conceal carry?
    I am sure there are, but I think, most won't allow.

    Why don't we instead promote school shootings. Anybody who brandishes a gun in a school is immediately shot by an armed teacher or policeman. They would understand that and quit it. What's his face is enjoying his 15 minutes of fame right now. I'd rather he get it posthumously. Got that?

    A good question and one I have been asking for years. As an honest law abiding citizen I should be able to have a full auto and hand grenades and etc.

    If it is concealed how would anyone know?

    All of you can blame the gun all you want. Put blinders on to society growing these 'monsters'. The crack babies are growing up and what you see now is NOTHING to what is coming....

    You've mentioned "common sense" in several of your posts. What do you see as "common sense regulations" or common sense gun control laws. Do your views reflect the views of President Obama from the video?

    To me things are only "common" when everyone has the same idea or when everyone agrees. I tend to disagree with most "common sense gun control" proposals I have seen. So I guess they are not really "common".
    Was it narrow minded of the Founding Fathers to include the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights? They were very aware of the effects of an oppressive government.

    You say there will not be "a total ban in our lifetimes or our grandkids". So that would indicate three generations. Are you not concerned that your great grandchildren have the same rights you and your children have had?

    Oh look another leftist rationalizing murder.

    "This murder counts. This murder doesn't count."

    -A. Leftist, so called "moral authority"

    So lets recap the post you ignored:

    Kate Steinle was murdered by someone with a gun.
    Danny Oliver was murdered by someone with a gun.
    Michael Davis Jr. was murdered by someone with a gun.
    Donald Young was murdered by someone with a gun.
    Micah Lee Flick was murdered by someone with a gun.
    Eric Oliver was murdered by someone with a gun.


    Ever heard of any of those names?
    Ever read about them on your approved media sites?
    Ever made posts demanding "action" on threads talking about them?

    Looks like the answer to those three questions is NO.
    And now I'll clue you in as to why.
    Its because the murderer in those instances was an illegal immigrant.

    That's why you never heard about them.
    That's why your media never talked about them
    And that's why you don't care about them.

    Now tell me more about why you think you and your kind should get to dictate to the rest of us how our Constitutional Right should be infringed.

    What was the reason again?

    Because you "care about murder"?

    Uh huh.

    Sit down.

    The firearms that the illegals used to kill those people weren't legal.

    So the only "gun control" that would have prevented them would have been a door to door person to person search for firearms.

    Is that what you're asking for?

    Nah. Lots of gun control could have prevented them from getting guns. Like registration

    Four of the people on that list were killed by illegals using illegally obtained firearms in/from states that already have registration laws.

    I picked those names for good reasons and your responses are illustrating those reasons.
