But I thought it was a Right not a right*
So you agree that even "absolute" rights should definitely have limits and be denied to certain people and we're just arguing about where that line should be then?
No they don't, at the pro-gun communities insistance.
As a gun owner, I can sell you a gun tomorrow and you will not have to pass a background check. Private gun sales happen all over.
So then it's only a law some places.
A clear majority of citizens support universal background checks, but all that matters is that the gun lobby doesn't.
You're ignorant
Except that there are other restrictions and as has already been pointed out, you still can't own any weapon you want. This fact is something you should be admitting and grappling with. You can't simply ignore it, as you seem to want to do. It may be that there's an intellectually coherent way around it, but if so I have yet to see you or anyone else, let alone the SCOTUS, lay it out.
This intellectual inconsistency is, I would argue, a direct result of the fact that all of the decisions you mention above are based on a faulty reading of the 2nd.
I assume you agree with SCOTUS on Dredd Scott and ending Roe v. Wade since that's what makes things right.
Got it. "I am not a lawyer or a judge, so I can't say if Dredd Scott was a bad decision."
I think the rest of us can figure out that not letting slaves go free was a bad decision despite not being lawyers or judges.
