What “infringemwent”? This is “commnonsense safety.”
So, just the Second Amendment or does the rest of the Bill of Rights threaten “exercis[ing] their police power,” too…?
[Via Antigone]
Not one word of what we now call “The Bill of Rights” was intended to make government’s job easier.
Not to mention that NOWHERE in the US Constitution does Government have the responsibility to “keep the people safe”. Nope. Not one jot nor tittle does that bit.
Government’s Job One is to preserve our RIGHTS. When that happens WE can easily see to our own “protection” and “safety”.
These wilful dirtbags fail to comprehend this basic fact/principle.
I would argue that rather than failing to comprehend they know exactly what they’re doing.
