The two youngest generations with agency in this country will do serious damage to it before it's all said and done. We are reaping what was sewn with the encouraged narcissism from the deconstruction of society to reinforce the snowflake theory.
FBI: Breakdown in background check system allowed Dylann Roof to buy gun Dylann Roof, who is accused of killing nine people at a church in South Carolina, should not have been able to purchase the gun used in the attack and was allowed to buy the weapon only because of breakdowns in the FBI’s background-check system, FBI Director James B. Comey said Friday.... “This case rips all of our hearts out, but the thought that an error on our part is connected to a gun this person used to slaughter these people is very painful to us,” said Comey. https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...71f-11e5-b72c-2b7d516e1e0e_story.html?hpid=z1
Following is a list of places in South Carolina where gun possession is off limits, with or without a permit to carry: Law enforcement facilities Detention facilities Courthouses Election polling places Government offices School and college athletic events Day care facilities Health care facilities Churches Oh wait on law biding citizens follow the law and are left defenseless. And in this case the cops are only good for calling in the body bags.
Background checks laws were in place to deny Roof the gun. Dont blame the pro-gun crowd on this one. It was the idiot that performed the background check for the feds that screwed up. "The FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which does instant background checks for 30 states, should have flagged Roof on April 11, when he went to a West Columbia gun shop to buy the firearm, Comey said. But because of a series of errors, including one on Roof's rap sheet, the examiner performing the check on Roof did not know he had admitted to drug possession in a March 1 incident, which should have rendered him an "unlawful user" ineligible to purchase the gun."
Imagine, if he would have only followed that other law, something like, don't go around killing people, then none of those people would be dead right now.
So the 2nd amendment does or does not apply to all Americans in your opinion? Just trying to be clear on your position.
It applies evenly, however. In other words, there isn't a banned list of words for felons that is acceptable for non-felons.
True; while IP wants everything to be black and white, things rarely are. One Amendment does not apply to everyone while the other does not apply to all speech.
Whoa whoa whoa. Where did I say I wanted things to be black and white? My point is exactly what float said. You need to explain why the first amendment applies equally to everyone (including exceptions for everyone), but the second amendment doesn't. Don't talk about what "IP wants." I'm IP, I know what I want. I want you to realize you aren't being consistent-- which is not the same as "wanting everything to be black and white." The first amendment isn't about the rights of speech, it is about the rights of people regarding speech. It doesn't work to say "it does not apply to all speech" as if people's rights to speech were equivalent to people.
