[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]
[b]Yes, we know you don’t think women are people[/b] and as such aren’t covered by the “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness” phrase. [/quote]

As opposed to you, who doesn’t think unborn children are people? Holy unintentional irony! By simple mathematical analysis, pro-lifer’s care twice as much about people as you do. Women compromise 50% of the population. They care about 100% of the unborn, not just women. [/quote]

If someone isn’t born, they literally don’t exist. most of us with brain cells don’t concerns ourselves with nonexistent people. [/quote]

Oh well that explains the total absence of baby showers. That’s why no one gets nursery rooms ready in their homes or takes babymoons. Because that baby l literally doesn’t exist yet.  :roll: [/quote]

My baby shower was for me, the expectant mother. For things I would need for my baby that wasn’t yet born. The invitation had my name on it, not my unborn child.  My babymoon was a vacation for me, not a child that didn’t yet exist. People put babies that actually exist, in the world, down in the nursery. If nothing is born, there is nothing to put down.
But it doesn’t matter, I don’t need you to understand this. The majority of the American people understand this. [/quote]
