[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last time I checked the right to keep and bear arms was a right not a privilege.   But as the long as the dems keep wasting their time on these foolish pursuits the less real damage they will do.  [/quote]

I’m a Textualist and the 2nd Amendment says nothing about “ammunition.” You infer that “arms” includes ammunition, but that’s not what the text says. The Framers could have included that language, but they chose not to.

And you might rightly say - “What’s the point of stating ‘arms’ if you don’t infer the right to ammunition?”

Well, look to the “well regulated militia” portion of the 2nd Amendment. The ammunition of the militia is often kept separate from the arms maintained by the individual. You retrieve ammo from the depot at the direction of a commanding officer. Sounds like a “well regulated militia” to me.

In short, you can’t be a Textualist and read a right to ammo in the 2nd Amendment. It doesn’t exist. [/quote]

Where’s the text on abortion? [/quote]

Where is the text that refers to abortion in the constitution?

Right to abortion is in the constitution, show us, Texty McTextyface.[/quote]

You should have been worried when they took it away. 
But the door is now open. [/quote]

Waiting for Textualist to explain where the Constitution addresses abortion. He or she is happy to explain about ammo and guns. [/quote]

Why? That right was taken. The precedent is set. Should have spoken up when you had the chance? [/quote]

Abortion isn’t mentioned in the Constitution.

The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision.[/quote]
Yes, we know you don’t think women are people and as such aren’t covered by the “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness” phrase. [/quote]

Cool. It’s a choose your own liberty deal? We can choose what we feel is liberty and pursue whatever we feel is our happiness, even if isn’t expressly defined or mentioned in the Constitution? And if that freedom or liberty was illegal in many states while the Constitution was written- doesn’t matter. Cool cool. Makes sense.[/quote]
Exactly. And since ammunition isn’t mentioned in the Constitution, your liberty isn’t being harmed. [/quote]

Abortion isn’t mentioned in the Constitution, your liberty isn’t being harmed. [/quote]

Dp-  that’s the current situation. It’s not expressly written, so we don’t have the right. 
Seems like a great way to move forward. You aren’t promised cheap ammo. [/quote]

Who buying big ammo? Criminal?

No many criminal are bad shooting. Hobbyist buying 10,000 ammos to practice shooting. Many big time shooting hobby person creation of their own bullet.

This feel good solution.
