Real0ne -> 2nd amendment is NOT a right granted by the constitution. (7/28/2012 10:26:44 PM)

So cry me a fucking river!

The constitution of the United States, Amend, art 2, declares that, "a well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be Infringed." This is said to be not a right granted by the constitution, and not dependent upon that instrument for its existence.
The amendment means no more than that this right shall not be infringed by congress; it restricts the powers of the national government, leaving all matters of police regulations, for the protection of the people, to the states; U. S. v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 553, 23 L. Ed. 588.

and if congress cant fuck with it neither can the states unless they want a 1983 case run up their asses.

An act forbidding the carrying of pistols, dirks, etc., is not repugnant to this article; the "arms" referred to are the arms of a soldier, etc.; English v. State, 35 Tex. 473, 14 Am. Rep. 374. Hey soldiers use nukes dont they!

A statute prohibiting the wearing of concealed deadly weapons is constitutional; Wright v. Com., 77 Pa. 470; Andrews v. State, 3 Heisk. (Tenn.) 105, 8 Am. Rep. 8; Hill v. State, 53 Ga. 472; Fife v. state, 31 Ark. 455, 25 Am. Rep. 556; Walls v. State, 7 Blackf. (Ind.) 572; Owen v. State, 31 Ala. 387; contra, Bliss v. Com., 2 Litt (Ky.) 90, 13 Am. Dec. 251. See Story, Const, 5th ed. ยง 1895; Rawle, Const. 125.

This right is not violated by a statute prohibiting unauthorized todies of men to associate together as a military organization, or to drill and parade with arms in cities and towns; Com. v. Murphy, 160 Mass. 171, 44 N. E. 138, 32 L. R. A. 606.


Now lets talk about gun rights. Anyone who knows how to prosecute this will kick the ass of any tard to wants to INFRINGE upon the right of americans to both own and bear ARMS.

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again

Change it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fall that's all
But the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie

Do ya?


There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again yes you will!
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Um, the very fact that it IS an amendment means that it is NOT in the original Constitution.

cruishank was decided 100 years after the fact, so it was in general the constitution since the amendment was in effect for over 50 years.

So long as all gun-toters remember that guns aren't for use against at those in power, but either the bogeymen of the richies' choice, or the people at the bottom of the pile, all's good. :-)
