Not a single one does. The second anendment also mandates gun regulation. One may be allowed to have a gun but the government, and for that matter as a health risk isdue the public at large, has the right to know who does. They also have the right to comtrol who gets a gun, such as excluding those with mental health issues, add to that those with close contact of same. (Ask youself...would Sandy Hook have happened had there not been guns in that home? And so many?) As a public health issue, bans on carrying a gun outside of one's property are also legal.

So no, we have more than enough guns to kill every man woman and child in this country as it is.

You have proposed that all guns in private homes be unloaded and locked. That violates the Second Amendment. Public carry laws also do because they infringe the right to transport guns.

The Second Amendment states: "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."

Two definitions of "regulate" are: "to adjust so as to ensure accuracy of operation" and "to put in good order."

To ensure the accuracy of operation of the militia people have an unfettered right to keep and bear arms so that they are trained in their use and capable of using them if the need for the militia presented itself. Limitations on the right to carry therefore violate the plain meaning of the second amendment. Moreover so do artificial maximums on how many arms a person may own in their own home or requirements that the arms be unloaded and locked in private homes.

That's a safety measure. Simple common sense. not to mention truly looking out for one's family. If a loaded unlocked gun is in the home the chances of accidental shooting multiples.

Guns can be transported legally through secured transportation networks. Point to point is fine, with documentation as to to and from points, in a secured vehicle. Hunters have licenses to carry from vehicles to woods where they set up. The public health risk here is the armed idiot in Starbucks. I prefer peace with my coffee.

There is no, nor was there ever intended to be an unfettered right to have a gun. It was always intended to be regulated. In fact, among the first laws created in this new nation, gun control figured significantly. Training was required, as well as registration. Anyone could look up the record and see who owned exactly what. Nowadays, any asshole with enough money can get one and kill people recklessly. Time for that to end.

The rights of those who wish to live free from guns has long been overdue.

Hmmmm.... SCOTUS ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment protects a responsible, law-abiding citizen’s right to possess an operable handgun in the home for self-defense. Two years later in in McDonald v. City of Chicago, SCOTUS ruled that the Second Amendment applies to state and local governments in addition to the federal government.

If you research the words "self-regulated militia" you'll discover that at the time those words were used by the Founders, it meant that militia forces should be skilled with arms of contemporary military utility and relevant military tactics. In every other instance where the term “regulate” is used, or regulations are referred to, the Constitution specifies who is to do the regulating and what is being “regulated.” However, in the Second Amendment, the Framers chose only to use the term “well regulated” to describe a militia and chose not to define who or what would regulate it. It did not mean the usage of arms should be regulated by the federal government.

I think that it's best to have the definition of "militia" as put forth by one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence:
A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves, and render regular troops in a great measure unnecessary.

The powers to form and arm the militia, to appoint their officers, and to command their services, are very important; nor ought they in a confederated republic to be lodged, solely, in any one member of the government.

First, the constitution ought to secure a genuine and guard against a select militia, by providing that the militia shall always be kept well organized, armed, and disciplined, and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms; and that all regulations tending to render this general militia useless and defenseless by establishing select corps of militia, or distinct bodies of military men, not having permanent interests and attachments in the community, to be avoided.
Per Richard Henry Lee, one of the "forgotten" Founding Fathers.

Who does the regulation isn't the issue. The Fed is fine with me, so many states do nothing or are flat out dangerous about their gun laws that the Fed might as well handle this. At least we'd get some serious anti-trafficking laws so VA guns don't end up killing NYers. At least we can have significant background checks as a first defense against guns in the hands of the wrong people. That would be a good start, a common sense baseline.

You can live free from guns by choosing not to have a gun in your house. Instead you seek to infringe on the constitutional rights of others. I would never personally own a gun, but that does not mean I can dictate that on others.

It's the way he says it that rankles many people. Besides, Terrapin, you and I both know that an attempt to deport 11 million people when some of those children are American citizens and those who aren't were brought in by their parents and had no say about it, is a totally impossible task. To me anyway, he could have said those adults here illegally can stay but cannot become American citizens since they broke the law but their children at adulthood can become US citizens since this is the country they know and most likely have learned to love.

Even three years ago, after controlling for several relevant factors, AAUW they found that the wage gap between male and female graduates narrowed to only 6.6 cents.

In 2009 the U.S. Department of Labor examined more than 50 peer-reviewed papers and concluded that the then 23-cent wage gap "may be almost entirely the result of individual choices being made by both male and female workers." What the 2009 study showed was that when the proper controls are in place, the unexplained (adjusted) wage gap is somewhere between 4.8 and 7 cents. The AAUW study is consistent with these findings.
