[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is he doing this? We are complying with the constitution? I thought SCOTUS wanted states to decide these issues. How can Hogan do this unilaterally? I am already so scared about gun violence in this area.

I don’t know who “we” is, but the State of Maryland was not complying with the Constitution. Hogan merely saved the State the costs of civil rights actions that were already being drafted.

“Gun violence” is a fake buzzword. Guns are inanimate. They have no will of their own.  They are not self-locomoting. We don’t hear about “baseball bat” or “kitchen scissors” or “deliberate motor vehicle crash” or “toilet tank cover” violence.

Call it what it is:  criminal violence and punish the criminals instead of decent people. [/quote]

Let’s call this what it is: an argument that is made purely in bad faith and ignores reality completely.  There’s no point in debating with you when you are so far gone, and I hope no one engages with this for the 30 millionth time.

We’re past this now.  People are getting mowed down in churches, malls, schools, Fourth of July parades.  Rich, poor, this is everybody’s problem and we don’t have time to engage with nonsense like the above.  Enough, let’s move on.[/quote]

Yes. Let’s move on. Your fear of inanimate objects lost. Buh bye. [/quote]

HA!  As if!  This is like saying “let’s move on, your side lost” after the Dred Scott decision.  Not that I expect you to even know what that means.

The Supreme Court doesn’t determine right and wrong, and it’s interpretation of the second amendment is obviously stupid.  That you are on the side of lethal stupidity does not make you some sort of winner.  History will see you and this SCOTUS for what it is, and you will lose in the end anyway.[/quote]

What part of “shall not be infringed” don’t you understand?  This case is in the league of Brown v Board of Education, not Dredd Scott. (And I’ll match my knowledge of Con Law with yours any time.)

As for the Supreme Court not determining right and wrong, that sure wasn’t the position of a lot of people who were saying precisely the opposite until just a few days ago.

Should Hogan have stood in a doorway shouting “good and substantial yesterday, good and substantial today, good and substantial forever” a la George Wallace?

“Lethal stupidity” is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. [b]Like blaming inanimate objects for the consummate evil of murderers and depriving victims of the right to self defense.

The bolded is when I learn that debate with this person is a huge and stupid waste of time, because they left the realm of reality long, long ago.  See the other 30,000,000 threads about guns if you want to preview this entire discussion, including numerous discussions of “con law.”  I’m not interested in blatant and particularly American stupidity.[/quote]

Don’t like America?  No law holding you here.

It’s good that you recognize that it is a huge and stupid waste of time to argue against the truth. [/quote]
