Progressives are incapable of reason and balance!

The domestic enemies are more dangerous and contentious than the foreign enemies. Those would be all who support the Marxist progressive philosophy and agenda, AKA Democrats.

The Taney decision was not against the Constitution and Taney did not rule against the Constitution (which was not on trial).
Taney ruled that under the Constitution negroes did not have certain rights - including 'freedom'. Please get it straight.

In fact, the 2nd Amendment makes a good argument that private citizens should be allowed to have any level of weapon the Federal government has. But a local citizen having a nuclear bomb would be insane so perhaps consideration should be to define what is a basic 'defensive' weapon and get out of the way of those - the argument then being that the purpose of the 2nd was for citizens to defend from all transgresseres, including the government.

Until the constitution is changed, you're bound to obey it. The SCOTUS is charged with deciding how common sense is applied to the constitution, not you. When you become a SC justice you will have one vote.

If they are laughing at all, they are laughing at every person who wants guns out of the hands to law abiding people here. What better way to remove the threat of the American population's ability to fight against those who are laughing?

It is amazing that anyone thinks that clamping down on law abiding people could have an impact against the criminal sector.

Talk about stinkin thinkin.

Maybe we need a well organized militia, armed.

Yes, we must rely on the US Supreme Court to determine Constitutionality of various laws, ideas, and opinions here in the USA, and that's their only job. Sometimes they seem to get more than a little disturbed, emotional, and carried away with themselves and begin legislating from the bench, but that's not their job nor is it Constitutional, and that's when "We the People" get punished for not doing our due diligence when electing our so-called leaders and not adequately monitoring their selection and approval of some weak-kneed overly-liberal SC Justice. We then end up having to live with that lackadaisical error until (s)he dies or resigns and the error can be corrected. It is somewhat insane that we continue to repeat this cycle over and over again expecting different results, but that is just socialist democracy (Communism) and an abundance of complacency at work and why such a dangerous word, "democracy," was never allowed by our Founders to appear in the Founding Documents of the USA. Law creation in the USA is the job of the Legislative Branch, not the Judicial Branch, of the government even though they haven't been doing very well at it for several decades now, beginning around the time of our first, but not only, Communist president, Woodrow Wilson.

As for common sense, if it were all that common, you and the other Progressives and RINOs would have some of it.

The Second Amendment is quite clear when it states the "right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." "Arms" is a term that is a bit vague, and can include ANY weapon, modern or ancient, including most common tools. Tools include guns, knives, sling-shots, axes, shovels, hammers, tire-irons, motor vehicles, or even your bare hands, which are all tools that can be, and have been, used as weapons; if these tools happen to be used to assault someone they become "assault weapons." Tools are not the problem since they have no brain, people and their mental attitudes are the problem! None of my tools have ever left their storage area and hurt anyone or anything on their own! So, should we cut off our hands or ban common tools such as guns? I think not.

Preparing for Nuclear and Biological attacks, and stopping the Illegal Migration overrun make better sense, attack these problems instead of our Constitution. Stopping the hemorrhage of money to every upstart country around the world who rattles a sabre to wake up the "sleeping giant" would also help. I really wish President Trump had chosen "USA" instead of "America" for his slogan; 'Make The USA Great Again!' would have been better, IMHO, since there are 34 different "Americas" on these two American Continents, and the USA is just one of them! Only about one-third of all Americans live within the borders of the USA, and most of them don't particularly like us unless we're giving them money.

The USA does have domestic terrorist groups, but you are looking at the wrong wing! And yes, gun violence causes some deaths in the USA, but there are so many other causes of death here in the USA that cause a great many more deaths, violent and otherwise, that it makes gun violence statistically insignificant; try Big Pharma (documented drug pushers), Illegal Drug pushers (undocumented pharmacists), Big Medicine (Cancer with its Radiation, Chemo, Surgery), Motor Vehicles, and the Industrial War Machine (world wide arms suppliers that support and supply both sides of a war they stirred up using religious cults in the first place). Try the Religious cults, they start most of the wars because of their petty differences, encouraged by the war mongers.

Stop trying to infringe on the Second Amendment rights of the worlds greatest document, the US Constitution with it's Bill of Rights, which is honestly quite pointless and ineffective, and work on the real problems, people with mental problems and Progressives with Utopian illusions of grandeur and world domination!

I promise I will never use any of my firearms to defend you against anyone who is attempting to harm you, whether they have a firearm or not. Happy now?
Why do you Liberals insist that "the people" refers to individuals everywhere else in the Bill of Rights? You have no idea what "well-regulated" meant in 1791; you have no idea what US law says about militias; you have no idea what the Founders who wrote the Amendment said about it. You have no idea about much of anything, come to think of it.

Loki Loc: Georgia

One more time; what do you mean by "reasonable controls;" why would they work, and how would you go about implementing them? I have yet to hear a Liberal answer any of these questions.

Loki Loc: Georgia

I have an idea; let's revoke the drivers licenses of all non-drinkers so we can stop drunk driving.

Loki Loc: Georgia

You are a liar. We still have a militia. There is still a need for one. Well-regulated had a different meaning in 1791.
