[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why people can’t accept the the 2nd amendment like all 10 in the bill of rights are individual rights and that OP is exceeding here right within the process required by DC to carry a concealed weapon.

[/quote]

Not sure why some people think 2A is somehow absolute when none of the others are (for example 1A does not give you the absolute right to say you are a cop or a doctor when you are not, to make false claims about goods and services, to threaten to kill or harm someone etc).  2A did clearly say "well regulated."[/quote]

2A rights are limited. Expanded background checks would better "prohibit firearm possession by dangerous people".

[i]“Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. [It is] not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.” [/i]

Great “proof quote.” Did you read the rest?  Including the holding where they found DC gun laws at the time unconstitutional?[/quote]

And there has been a great loss of life associated with that ruling.

Gun laws reduce gun fatalities.

No they don’t. Because there are tons of gun laws and there are still fatalities. Gun laws haven’t worked since Reconstruction except to disarm subjugated people so they could be oppressed. If gun laws prevented crime it would’ve stopped in the 30’s with the National Firearms Act, or in 1968 with the Gun Control Act, the chief result of which was to improve the quality of weapons in criminal hands.

People use firearms untold thousands of times a year to protect themselves, typically without firing a shot.

Before Heller, “grandfathered” DC residents had more rights than people who moved there later.  So did retired police, and they still do. [/quote]
