Ted Nugent on Gun Control

[MTK]

PM me if you don't wish to talk about it here.

Sorry everyone for getting this thread way off topic.

Ok no worries to everyone. I really enjoy this site and there are NO ISSUES. If I really felt that the mods were bad or I didn't like them I simply would not come to this web site anymore. I was just simply saying at times I think you guys gang up and bully, this is my PERCEPTION.

It's not terribly surprising given the current makeup of the court. I don't like the result, but, after reading the lower court's decision, it may be the right one.

You don't like the idea that individuals have the right to own firearms?

State rights go out the window when it comes to guns but when it comes to abortion and gay marriage it's god's gift to mankind.

Scalia and crew strike again.

Well, the 14th amendment incorporated the Bill of Rights to apply to the states. So technically, the idea of "states rights" were thrown out the window around April of 1861.

Personally, I prefer the idea that the states cannot abridge our freedom of religion, freedom to assemble, our freedom to own firearms, and so on. Call me crazy, but the Bill of Rights, and forcing government at the local, state, and federal levels to abide by them seems like a pretty good idea.

Not allowing gun ownership is a direct violation of the 2nd Ammendment. There is no constitutional right to abortion or gay marriage. The "right" to an abortion was based on the Roe v. Wade ruling, not by any legislation.

I'm all for states rights concerning abortion and gay marriage. If the people of a state want abortion and gay marriage, and it is voted into law, so be it. If other states don't want abortion and don't want gay marriage, so be it. The Supreme Court should only get involved in disputes between states, it should not be "legislating morality" one way or the other.

I liked the interviews of the mayors of cities that ban guns talking about how it will increase crime. The funny part is those cities allready have the highest crime rates and it seems the bad guys allready have guns.

It DOES make it difficult to prove the point, does it not?
Like D.C. is and has generally been the murder capital of the US, and has had the strickest guns laws during that same time.

It does and this is not giving people the right just to go out and buy all the guns they want it just says people have the right to own a gun. I'm sure DC will have strict laws on the purchasing of guns and may even limit the number people can buy. It will be interesting how this works itself out over the next couple of months. I as a non gun owner believe they made the correct ruling.

I don't see how anybody could say they made the wrong ruling. It says it right in the second amendment that the people have the right to bear arms.

What militia do you belong to? And are you well regulated?

I guess "activist judges" applies only to liberal judges.

The "militia" was made up of citizens. "Well regulated" meant that you knew how to use a gun.
