It was still the result of an interpatation...tweaking if you will. To read subrobs post..it was part and parcel of the Framers original text.

It was. You do have the right to remain silent (not bear witness against yourself). You do have the right to counsel. The Miranda decision didn't create these rights. It merely added the right to have them read to you when you are arrested. A dubious interpetation of the Constitution. I'm not saying the Bill of Rights haven't been "tweaked" (not to mention, ignored, trampled upon, etc). I am saying that such tweaking is not neccessarily a good thing in and of itself. It sets a dangerous precedent.

I can't shoot anybody for any reason I want to but I still have the right to keep and bear arms. The fact that some people may abuse that right is no justification for abridging mine.

I am never a dumbass on purpose.
On the other jand I am,quite often it seems ,disagreeable on purpose....and requiring citizens to register, and wait for background checks...in an effort to make sure you or others don't abridge mine or others right to life ...is not an unreasonable abridgemment of your 2nd amendment rights.

So I am to be held guilty until I prove myself innocent? I have to pass a test to get my rights. Again, a dangerous precedent.

No.not a test a background check...you know to keep guns out of the hands of all the people you people say you need the guns to protect yourselves from.
Is it a requirement you might fail...of course not so why be an obstuctionist.

From your link:

The majority opinion was written by Judge Diarmuid F. O'Scannlain, with a concurring opinion from Judge Ronald M. Gould, who wrote, “The right to bear arms is a bulwark against external invasion…That we have a lawfully armed populace adds a measure of security for all of us and makes it less likely that a band of terrorists could make headway in an attack on any community before more professional forces arrived.”

I can only say thank God for these wise judges.

I myself sleep every night with a loaded shotgun at my side.

Just in case a band of terrorists decides to invade my home.

Jesus christ. I am an adamant proponent of gun rights, but that has to be absolutely the most idiotic argument I have ever heard in favor of my position. It's so mind-bogglingly illogical, I don't even know how to respond to it. I like to win, but I'm embarrassed to win that way.

If that is true then there is no such things as rights.

So you mean to say there have been no amendments or Supreme Court interpretations that changed how we view the meaning of certain constitutional provisions?

Rule why don't you get it...nothing else matters when we are talking about guns....and the right to possess on command.That has been handed down from on high and can not be trifled with.....no matter how many bodies drop.

Nothing arbitrary about it.The tests have been held ,the data is in...guns kill people in alarming numbers...conclusion reached....we need to do something to address the problem.Simple wasn't it...and not in the least arbitary.

I've been through a lot of airports lately and it pisses me off every time I do. Still, I really don't have to prove innocence there, just my identity - along with not doing something stupid.

I don't know about anyone else, but the last time I bought a gun I had to fill out paperwork, go to the sheriff's office and wait 5 days... and we need to make that process more difficult?

It's rather notable too that many of the breakdown shooters would have passed any tests.

But I don't go to gun shows. What I do know is that many more murders occur one at time than en masse, yet it is the en masse that drives the desire for legislation that will mostly affect legal people.

Well then I have to ask what you mean by arbitrarily. There are established procedures for amendments.

And the rest of the passengers should just take on faith your good intentions....
now before you tell me they should have their own weapons....I hope you think long and hard about the indefensible position you are about to stake out.Good luck with this,logic can be so inescapable at times.

Yes it is arbitray because your "solution" has no thought behind it. "Gun kill people! We have to keep guns out of the hands of certain individuals!" It is a knee jerk, feel good reaction.

"I want to keep guns out of the hands of certain individual, therefore I'm a good person." What a crock of shit. I'd also like to keep guns out of the hands of certain individuals - I just to want to trample the rights of others to do so. The price is too high and the "solution" will not work anyway.

Heroin was deemed a problem so we banned heroin. Has that solution worked?
