That's what makes gun control such a difficult problem. People seem to forget that it is a right and those have extra weight behind them. While I want better gun control, I also don't want our rights to be easily thrown away. The fact that the idea of a constitutional amendment seems so far fetched right now should be strong enough evidence that the system, as it was designed, has failed.
... Or an Article V convention forced by states. I'd wager money it's going to happen in the next 25 years.
They will obviously never try to define "woke". At this point it was intentionally shaped into trigger word to tell their moronic voters that something is bad without having to bring any actual arguments. An actual definition would hurt this prupose.
On the other hand, it only takes 5 judges to reinterpret the constitution...
I kinda feel there's a false equivalence there. I can't kill arbitrary people as a result of exercising my first and sixth amendment rights.
Doesn't the right of others around you to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness have equal standing? Seems reasonable to me to take steps to ensure you are less likely take away life by accident or malicious intent.
I didn't say it was.
So we no longer find these truths to be self-evident, because they are in the wrong document? Fair point that the standing is therefore not equal. Nonetheless I quite value my life, and find it reasonable to expect my armed neighbors to be trained in a way to minimize the risk to me from from their 2A rights.
Still true that exercising the 1st and 6th don't empower you to kill any random person you see. The court's argument is a false equivalence.
So what about the rest of my comment?
No no. I can't say a magic word to my neighbor because his dog pissed me off when it shit in my yard and cause him to drop dead.
Nor can I non-maliciously say a word by accident that causes some random person in my vicinity to die.
But if I'm an irresponsible gun owner I can do both those things and more. Hence the false equivalence here:
I'm not sure how you think I'm describing stochastic terrorism or inciting a riot other than to conclude you are being intentionally obtuse. Good day, Sir.
I was much more specific than that. I find you disingenuous and predictable. Also, I said Good Day, Sir.
Y'know, we really ought to pass a law that makes it illegal to kill people...
