An Oct. 4 editorial in The Sun made note of Congress’ inability to respond to mass shootings with any significant action. The sticking point is always the supposedly sacrosanct Second Amendment’s dominance over whatever preventive action that could otherwise be enacted.
In reality, though, nothing could be further from the truth. There is no constitutional roadblock standing in the way. |

Bulldooky.
You will never overcome the grammatical structure of the sentence.
1) The prefatory clause merely states the reason the guarantee is being ENUMERATED. It neither creates the right nor places any conditions upon it.
2) The operative clause assumes the right as preexisting independently, and declares it sacrosanct.
Those are the grammatical facts.
Please stop ignoring them.

U R 100% CORRECT, PHORTO!
In addition: While (Fake) POLLS declare "Even NRA Members agree that 'some' Gun CONTROL is necessary under the 2A" - what they DONT [WONT DARE] tell u is -
CURRENTLY, THERE's MORE THAN 20,000 (!) GUN LAWS IN AMERICA! 20,000 + !! SOME LEGAL ESTIMATES TAKE IT UP TOWARDS 30,000 - WHERE THE LAWS R COMINGLED WITH OTHER LAWS!!!
THE 2nd AMENDMENT, HENCE, IS THE *MOST* OVER-REGULATED BILL oF RIGHT IN CREATION!
**ALREADY! SO ENUFF witH THE B.S.!! THERE's ENUFF "LAWS"! WHEN R WE GOING TO START "ELIMINATING" THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS OF USELESS GUN LAWS -THAT THE POLICE, COURTS, CANT POSSIBLY ENFORCE ANYWAY- FROM THE BOOKS! To make it a 'common-sense' BALANCE with the OTHER 9 BoR's!
* ASK A SOCIALIST THAT ONE!

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
