Guess they were not happy with the poll results the first time, so USA Today is running another one...Vote Now. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1264598 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. [link to usatoday30.usatoday.com] In a sense this is a trick question. The 2nd amendment doesn't give the right. You already have the right. The unalienable,God given right of self defense from criminals and government. But I repeat myself. And I repeat it again. |

Why the dis-information? It is not 97% 'pro gun' in answer to that Poll's question. The Poll question doesn't even ask about Guns at all. But rather: "Does the Second Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?" Do you have a god-given right to keep and bear a knife, a spear, a hoe, a pitchfork, a cross bow, etc. as well as a hand gun, short rifle, long rifle, or Big Gun like 55mm or 105mm.. etc. Do not focus only on Guns.. this is so much bigger than that. There is a reason also why so many demand proper spelling as well, it is to keep all people mentally sharp, or at least acknowledging that they have a ways to go to be more mentally sharp. Those that would dull your mental capacity merely seek to keep more and more dumbed down, and not ignorant, but ignoring so many things. |

Technically rights come from God not government. So the second ammendment doesn't "give" a right so much as simply list it as something government can't take away. But for the purposes of sheople polls in the propaganda media, yes it does. Quoting: Resister I have a stupid question. The Atheist... does he have or have not God-given rights?

Dude you are the retard you pompous ass If it limits the power of the Federal government then they should remove themselves from the debate. But being that the states are now pawns of the feds then the states should keep out of it too The right of the people. The People are the Fifth Branch of the Federal Government, not the MSM, btw, nor the Universities or schools. The States are the Branch of the Federal Government. We are almost always wrongly taught that there are only three branches of Government in the Federal Government. The Congress, The Executive, The Judicial, The States, and The People. Five Branches, each branch is symbolized as one of the rays, or points or branches of the Five Pointed Star in our Federal Flags (plural: a War Flag, and a Peace Flag). This is why it is a Five Pointed Star and not a Four Pointed Star like in NATO, nor a Six Pointed Star like the flag of the State of Israel. |

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. 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. |
