Some forms of arms are not protected. I don't think the framers intended for anti-aircraft missiles to be possessed by citizens. The First Amendment also speaks in absolutes yet there are recognized limits. That being said, all of the proposals I have seen from bingbong and other leftists on OTChat do not pass constitutional muster.

Agreed. But the Supreme Court has never objected to:

- Training requirements
- Criminal background checks
- Registration of weapons
- Rigid regulation of arms dealers

Further, none of these infringes on the right to bear arms.

No, it isn't. In papers composed by the founders as they created the Constitution, the intent to strongly regulate this "right" is made quite clear. Gun regulations were among the first laws passed by the first Congress. They required registration and competency training. There was a public list of gun owners. Nothing unconstitutional about any of it.

If you read the actual text, you'd see this ancient language which actually pertains to police forces and state militias (a/k/a National Guard). In the eighteenth century those were comprised of ordinary citizens, raised as necessary, not paid specialists.

This was pushed for by slave holders, who wanted to be able to contain slave escapes quickly and most importantly cheaply. (This occurred in rural areas, not in population centers) We haven't had slaves anywhere in America for over a hundred years now.

Those parameters and others are TOTALLY constitutional. Get over it.

The prefatory clause explains the motivation for enacting the amendment, for the benefit of future generations who might be confused as to the amendment's purpose. It does not constrain the language of the operative clause.

The second amendment had little, if anything, to do with slavery.

Though that begs the question about what effect to give the operative clause if the basis for the prefatory clause is no longer present. Personally, I believe that Justice Scalia was correct in Heller regarding the scope of the Second Amendment. The problem with cases dealing with the Second Amendment is that you often have equally legit competing interests (such as right to keep and bear arms vs. potential of domestic violence) as compared to similar absolutes in the First Amendment where the equities clearly tilt in favor of one side. While we can (almost) all agree regarding those convicted of domestic violence crimes, what about those that were charged and pled to a lesser charge that isn't domestic violence? What about those that were not charged with a domestic violence crime but could lead to one (I am thinking about alcohol related offenses)? Turning to another point, what about those laws that don't prevent anybody from exercising their right to keep and bear arms, but make the process or ownership onerous? For example, everybody is allowed to own a firearm, but you can't transport a loaded firearm (see what NYC tried), you have to carry $10 Million insurance, etc. or the process requires you to publish that you are looking to obtain a license to possess a handgun and if even one person raises an objection you are denied without providing you any due process to determine the accuracy of the objection.

I grant you that those kinds of restrictions are unlikely to pass muster.

Canada has none of these restrictions, and yet they have a non-gun murder rate comparable to the US*, and a gun-murder rate one seventh that of the US.


* So it's not as though Canadians are intrinsically more peaceful people.

This falls into the scope of background checks, which need to be wider in scope and modernized so as to be much more accurate than they are currently. Citizenship, mental health history, arrest/criminal (involving violence only) records must be included. This would ensure that plea bargain recipients are kept from holding firearms. Can't do much WRT nonviolent arrests/convictions, nor should we.

Mandating character references like they do in Canada is also a good idea that should be considered. Disputes can be investigated further by the prospective buyer.

I'm totally in favor of strict transport laws nationally, and a ban on those to my mind is better. Heller was about protecting one’s home, not flying cross country to shoot guns.

I think every gun owner should carry $10 million liability insurance, and be held completely liable for what happens with their firearms. That includes potential end result(s) of its theft.

From experience, as I practice battling on here for sport, they're thinking one or two things.

A) They still think so (which I believe to be the likely scenario from what I still see); or
B) They re-phrase and modify their statement to mean something that in no way reflects the post you're referring to, so they can pretend they were no wrong, meanwhile, still combining options B with A.
C) Which means, if you choose B, you really already choose all of the above.

Citizenship, Mental health history, arrest history (not ending in conviction or equivalent finding) should not be included. As for plea bargains, there is no reason why that shouldn't be treated the same as conviction after trial.

There also should be no requirement for character references. That's the worst bullshit ever.

What about when people move? What if the gun range in the other part of the country is an award-winning range? What about hunting different animals indigenous to different areas? SMH.
