So it's, you know, in line with the Constitution and stuff.< http://nationalreview.com/corner....w-cooke > QUOTE Lynch said the bill is an effort to treat the right to bear arms in the Second Amendment with the same freedom as other rights.
“The right in the Second Amendment is the only one in the Bill of Rights that you have to get permission for,” Lynch said. “You don’t have to have a speech license or a worship license or a freedom of the press license,” he said. “This is designed to put the Second Amendment on equal footing.” Posted by Malcolm on Dec. 17 2013,18:12
QUOTE “The right in the Second Amendment is the only one in the Bill of Rights that you have to get permission for,” Lynch said. Yes, because we need to make sure the mentally disturbed and seven-time felons don't have guns. Posted by GORDON on Dec. 17 2013,19:00

QUOTE Not according to the Constitution. That doc isn't exactly up to date on some shit, as in "10% of the amendments aren't applicable to modern times." Or have you had to kick soldiers out of your house that needed to be quartered? Hell, I'm fairly certain they restricted firearms in sanitariums back then, too. Posted by GORDON on Dec. 17 2013,20:07

That is the exact argument liberals use to support their positions. Posted by thibodeaux on Dec. 18 2013,06:53
< Five states already do this: >QUOTE An Unrestricted jurisdiction is one in which a permit is not required to carry a concealed handgun. This is sometimes called Constitutional carry.
Among U.S. states, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Vermont and Wyoming allow residents to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. These states also allow the open carry of a handgun without a permit. Vermont does not have any provision for issue of concealed-carry licenses, as none has ever been necessary. As such, Vermont residents wishing to carry handguns in other states must acquire a license from a state which is valid in their destination. A popular choice is Florida's concealed handgun permit, which is valid for nonresident holders in 28 other states. Alaska, Arizona, and Wyoming all previously had concealed-carry license requirements prior to adoption of unrestricted carry laws, and continue to issue licenses on a "shall-issue" basis for the purposes of inter-state reciprocity (allowing residents of the state to travel to other states with a concealed weapon, abiding by that state's law). In Montana, Utah, South Carolina, and New Hampshire, bills are being discussed that would allow unrestricted carry. Montana and Idaho both currently allow concealed carry without a permit in places outside of any incorporated municipality. New Mexico law allows an individual to conceal carry an unloaded handgun without a permit while on foot or in a vehicle. |
