[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] Yeah, it also says “shall not be infringed.” The problem isn’t lack of regulation, as even a cursory review of the voluminous relevant federal, state, DC, and local statutes and regulations will confirm. The problem is the failure to enforce these various, cumulative and duplicative laws, particularly against a ruthlessly violent and incorrigible criminal subculture that consistently treated as above the law because its members and their conferees are politically useful. [/quote] Common sense regulation is not infringement. If our current laws and regulations are so great then why don't we have a national database that would let us crack down on straw buyers and gun traffickers? If our current laws and regulations are so great then why can people with serious mental illness and a history of violent or suicidal behavior still legally buy guns? Sorry but that line about "our laws are fine, we just have to enforce them" is complete crap.[/quote]
