[quote:Anonymous Coward 27972246:MV8yMDkwNjczXzM1MjAwMDgzXzdFMzBCRjIy] [quote:Anonymous Coward 28008747:MV8yMDkwNjczXzM1MTk4MjUwXzFGMjM3QzhC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 10544309:MV8yMDkwNjczXzM1MTk2MzA0Xzg0MjQ1MUQz] I voted NO. Anyone who voted YES is a fucking retard. The constitution does not give any individual rights. It limits the power of the Federal Government. Nothing more. I'm sure every constitutional expert on this forum voted yes and has never stepped foot inside a University's political science department much less class. [/quote] I think the law school would be the only relevant place. Never thought someone would trump your "poli sci dept." did you? Anyway, the Bill of Rights does give rights, that neither the Federal nor any subsidiary government within the US can take away. In that sense, the 2nd Amendment is a restriction on states, that they cannot infringe the right to bear arms. [/quote] The 2nd Amendment applies as an imposition and restriction upon the individual State Governments as well as an imposition and restriction upon the Union of those States. This is one place where the People are Sovereign and have not surrendered Right, only shared in their use of their Right of Power and shared the power to the State and to the Central Union Government. The Right and the Power to share or not share as the People may decide from time to time, is a sovereign action and power. [/quote]
Original Message
Guess they were not happy with the poll results the first time, so USA Today is running another one...Vote Now.
Attorney General Eric Holder, has already said this is one of his major issues. He does not believe the 2nd Amendment gives individuals the right to bear arms. This takes literally 2 clicks to complete. Please vote on this gun issue question with USA Today. Then pass the link on to all the pro-gun folks you know. Hopefully the results will be published later this month.
