I am not trying to pick a fight with you or anyone else. I'm very curious. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 29/04/2013 02:34:19 PM

Our Constitution has a basis in the presumption of innocence. Requiring background checks, before utalizing a Right that the Constitution states "shall not be infringed" reverses that presumption.

---
I understand WHY folks might be inclined to favor such a restriction, but it is against the plain language of our Constitution.


(Bolding mine)

The "plain language" of the amendment itself begins with, A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state... How do you personally reconcile that bit with the bit you quoted?

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

That's the most amusingly incomprehensible attempt at constitutional analysis I've read in a while. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/04/2013 10:47:18 AM 356 Views

about 90% of the country agrees with that but still Obama can't close the deal. random thoughts - 21/04/2013 04:24:15 PM 954 Views

The point is that background checks already exist on every commercial firearm transaction. HyogaRott - 27/04/2013 05:16:41 AM 892 Views
but we all know there is no correlation between having a gun and shooting someone with it moondog - 22/04/2013 05:30:12 PM 832 Views
I wonder which other Constitutional rights should require a background check to excercise? *NM* HyogaRott - 22/04/2013 08:56:15 PM 314 Views
