Recent legislation introduced in the Michigan House to expand gun rights and peel back regulation is concerning. First I’m not an anti-gun citizen; I am a gun owner, hunter and consider myself a responsible user of firearms. I believe in the Second Amendment but only in part. I believe, along with Anthony Scalia the US Supreme Court Justice who wrote the Second Amendment (Columbia-Heller) decision, “that the rights secured by the Second Amendment are not unlimited.‘
Peeling back regulations allowing the right to carry a concealed or open weapon just about anywhere and by anyone is ridiculous.

Well, Richley, you're an idiot.
Your premise starts with no right at all, and then moves to 'allow' it, but only under certain conditions.
Actually, the right begins as unalienable, full-force. and any regulation of its exercise can only be undertaken in rare circumstances, with extreme reluctance and narrow effects.
That portion of the Heller opinion, for instance, was inserted only because Kennedy insisted on it, and would not vote 'yea' unless it was.
Any provision implemented through extortion must be regarded with a jaded eye.

| You are anti-gunif you think that the second amendment is only to protect your right to own and use guns for hunting. Read the Federalist papers. |

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| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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) |
