Guest Imus Limbaugh Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Support the gun industry, join the NRA. The gun industry sponsored gun lobbyist NRA says that buying more guns from the gun manufacturers is the answer to America's gun problem and the fact that lenient gun laws allow all kinds of criminals to walk around threatening our lives with guns in the first place. Myth: The Second Amendment guarantees the individual right to own a gun. Fact: The Supreme Court has always interpreted this as a state's militia's right, not an individual's. Summary Over the centuries, the Supreme Court has always ruled that the 2nd Amendment protects the states' militia's rights to bear arms, and that this protection does not extend to individuals. In fact, legal scholars consider the issue "settled law." For this reason, the gun lobby does not fight for its perceived constitutional right to keep and bear arms before the Supreme Court, but in Congress. Interestingly, even interpreting an individual right in the 2nd Amendment presents the gun lobby with some thorny problems, like the right to keep and bear nuclear weapons. Argument The Second Amendment states: "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Pro-gun advocates claim that this amendment guarantees their individual right to own a gun, and that gun control laws are therefore a violation of their constitutional rights. In fact, the term "violation of our Second Amendment rights" has become a battle cry in gun lobbyist literature, repeated everywhere in their editorials and essays. However, this raises a fascinating observation. If gun control laws are so obviously a violation of the Second Amendment, then why doesn't the National Rifle Association challenge them on constitutional grounds before the Supreme Court? The answer is that they know they face certain defeat, for reasons we shall explore below. Consequently, the NRA has abandoned all hope in the courts. Instead, the NRA has chosen to lobby Congress to prevent gun control legislation, and has become in fact one of the most powerful lobbies on Capital Hill. This is a supreme and exquisite irony, given the conservative and libertarian's love of constitutions and hatred of democracy. But, at any rate, the NRA is fighting for its perceived constitutional rights on Capital Hill, by bribing our legislators with millions of dollars in campaign contributions. The reason is because the Supreme Court -- this nation's final arbiter on the interpretation of the Constitution -- has always ruled that the Second Amendment does not extend the right to keep and bear arms to individuals, but to the well-regulated militias mentioned in the first part of the amendment. Specifically, these are militias that are regulated by the federal and state governments. Article I, Section 8 authorizes Congress: "To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions; to provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively the appointment of officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress." The Founders were passionately opposed to standing peacetime armies -- in fact, Thomas Jefferson listed it as one of their grievances against the British Crown in the Declaration of Independence. Intent on eliminating this evil, they created a system whereby citizens kept their arms at home and could be called by their state militias at a moment's notice. These militias eventually became the states' National Guard, and the courts have always interpreted them that way. In 1886, the Supreme Court ruled in Presser vs. Illinois that the Second Amendment only prevents the federal government from interfering with a state's ability to maintain a militia, and does nothing to limit the states' ability to regulate firearms. Which means that states can regulate, control and even ban firearms if they so desire! Even so, this left a question about how much the federal government can limit a citizen's right to own a gun. In 1939, the Supreme Court addressed this issue in United States vs. Miller. Here, the Court refused to strike down a law prohibiting the interstate commerce of a sawed-off shotgun on the basis of the Second Amendment. Rejecting the argument that the shotgun had "some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia," the Court held that the Second Amendment "must be interpreted and applied" only in the context of safeguarding the continuation and effectiveness of the state militias. In other words, the federal government is free to regulate and even ban guns so long as it does not interfere with the state's ability to run a militia. Since then, both the Supreme and lesser courts have consistently interpreted the right to bear arms as a state's right, not an individual's right. At times they have even expressed exasperation with some gun advocates' misinterpretation of the Second Amendment. In United States v. Warin, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in 1976 upheld the conviction of an illegal gun-owner who argued that his Second Amendment rights had been violated. In pointed language, the court wrote: "It would unduly extend this opinion to attempt to deal with every argument made by defendant...all of which are based on the erroneous supposition that the Second Amendment is concerned with the rights of individuals rather than those of the states." In 1972 Justice William O. Douglas wrote: "A powerful lobby dins into the ears of our citizenry that these gun purchases are constitutional rights protected by the Second Amendment....There is no reason why all pistols should not be barred to everyone except the police." Gun advocates have bitterly decried the "activist courts" that have supposedly changed the plain meaning of the constitution. But over 100 years of courts have interpreted a states'-rights meaning, and so has a broad body of constitutional scholars. Gun advocates simply have a different "plain meaning" of the constitution than everyone else, one that coincidentally legalizes their desired goal of owning weapons. The only apparent recourse for gun advocates now is to reject the system of judicial review that has led to a perfect record of court defeats. But the alternative is even worse: trusting Congress to pass laws that respect our constitutional rights. On all other issues but gun ownership, the idea is anathema to conservatives and libertarians. But even accepting the gun lobby's interpretation of the Second Amendment does not spare the gun owner from gun control. The amendment simply states that the people have a right "to keep and bear" arms. It says absolutely nothing about regulating them for safety, design or caliber. The gun lobby argues that the lack of of such language means that individuals are free to own any arms they please, and government cannot use constitutional silence to infer permission to regulate them. But this isn't true; look at the First Amendment. It simply says that "congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech" -- yet the government regulates countless forms of speech -- slander, malicious falsehoods, fraud, insider trading, etc. -- and these regulations are upheld by the Supreme Court. The same principle applies to the regulation of guns. This point becomes especially important when considering the regulation of arms by category. For example: do the people have a right to own nuclear weapons? (Pro-gun advocates contemptuously call this the "nuclear straw-man argument," yet they have not even come close to providing a satisfactory answer to it.) How about chemical and biological weapons? Tanks? Battleships? Bombers? In a society where people get drunk, angry, jealous, self-destructive and mentally ill, you certainly wouldn't want the unregulated sale of nuclear weapons on the market. Prohibition of such arms seems like the best thing to do, but, strictly speaking, that too would be a violation of the Second Amendment. Some pro-gun advocates admit that a literalist interpretation allows the right to keep and bear all arms, including nuclear weapons, and that this is surely archaic. Certainly the Founders could not have foreseen or intended this situation. However, pro-gun advocates claim the correct reaction of modern America should be to amend the constitution to exclude ownership of nuclear weapons; creatively interpreting the constitution is the wrong way. This is a curious argument, for a couple of reasons. First, the entire rationale of an individual right to keep and bear arms is to defend against a tyrannical government. But to surrender an advantage as overwhelming as nuclear weapons and smart weaponry to the government is irrational. Given the fanaticism of the gun lobby to protect themselves from government tyranny, this meek acquiescence towards weapons of terrible destruction is more than little strange, and begs explanation. It suggests that, down deep, the gun lobby is not really serious about its claim that government threatens them. (How could they be, in a democracy with high-speed, mass communication?) What is more likely is that they feel the need to empower themselves, and firearms are sufficient to fulfill that need. The argument is also strange because it concedes a point to gun control; namely, that there are some weapons so deadly that they should not be allowed in society. That is exactly what gun-control advocates have been arguing, and you don't need nuclear weapons to achieve the feared results; the U.S. already has the high murder statistics to prove it with handguns alone. The argument is also strange because the gun lobby fervently hopes to avoid public mobilization on a constitutional amendment limiting the right to keep and bear arms. A huge majority of Americans favor stricter gun control laws; and as long as they're excluding nuclear weapons they might as well throw in assault weapons and Saturday Night Specials. But ultimately, calling for a constitutional amendment banning the ownership of nuclear weapons is moot. Individuals do not even have a guaranteed right to keep and bear firearms, much less modern military weapons. To overcome the Supreme Court on this issue, the gun lobby would have to promote fundamental changes in our political structure that would surely be disimprovements. Quote

Nope. http://www.cnn.com/US/9806/16/kinkel.arraign.update/ And Kip was stopped, in the middle of his shooting people in the Thurston HS gym, by a group of boys that tackled him. One at least was shot even before he nailed Kip. He fought anyway. He didn't kill 32, but was well on his way, and well armed to carry it out. Now imagine if someone earlier in the shootings had had a gun to fight back. That would be illegal, of course, to have a gun in a school. Perfect place for the violent to act out with more safety for themselves. Do away with restrictive stupid gun laws. If one can legally carry at all there should be nowhere in public that one could not carry. I even hate having to check my gun into a locker before entering court. There certainly have been shootings in courtrooms. Everyone was defenseless but the bailiff, who often hasn't much choice but to duck like everyone else. But if two or three were armed against the perp? Try the real world, for a change, "Notan." Kane Quote

The primary one, in fact, had already been shot by Kip. They took him down anyway. The boy that tackled Kip survived. And no one with a gun in the "guns off limits" victim shooting gallery. Except Kip. He could not have wounded and killed so many, had there been armed resistence from a staffer. Kane Quote

I do. I have. I will. Trust me on this. R R R R R ... you just insisted that I cannot, since no two scenarios are exact. Of course they aren't. That does not stop me. Does it you? Why would you claim that one can't make good predictions based on approximations? These things are studied and certain outcomes ARE predictable.

I'm not saying that, in general, attempting to stop an attacker isn't better than just sitting back, but there are circumstances where it's not. You said, "They should have charged him while he was shooting. Somebody would have tackled him before he needed to reload..." Without knowing the layout of the room, the training, if any, the people had in self-defense, <again> how close Cho was to the people, and a multitude of other variables, there's no way to know what a "stand" would have resulted in. It's possible they did try to rush him. But your answer is an absolute. If they did this, this is what the outcome would have been. Unless you know something that no one else seems to know, it's nothing but speculation. -- Notan Quote

How hard would it have been to throw tables and chairs at the perp? 30 people with a room full of very hard material objects, some of which must have been in and on their desks. All throwing shit at the perp at the same time whilst rushing him with some table in front of you to slow down the ammo. PEOPLE NEED TO BE TRAINED TO REACT AGRESSIVELY WHEN ATTACKED.

I am tempted to call you a FUCKING NITWIT, but won't because that would reflect badly on myself. I have looked down the wrong end of a gun barrel more times than you have jacked off. I've lived to tell the tale because I have been ARMED WITH A KNIFE. IOW, you try to kill me, you are coming along for the ride. The time I faced down 5 full grown men, college age, whilst alone in the wilderness, where my remains wouldn't have been found except by a dog. The times in the City I've been chased through streets and alleyways by madmen with bad thoughts in their heads. You haven't a fucking clue. I'm 61, alive, and will KILL anybody who tries to bring harm to myself or my family. I will kill them dead. I have little to live for except to try to wake you freaks out of your drug-induced comas. I was hitch hiking on night and the guy who picked me up pulled a gun on me and held it to my head. I pulled my razor knife and held it tight to his jugular vein. I commanded him to stop the vehicle and let me out or we BOTH were going to die. If he didn't get that bullet placement just right, my muscular reflex would have slit him open in the middle of nowhere and he would have died from exsanguination. I've been in more fights than you have dreamed of. Some for my Life. You cannot say the same. I won them all, in one way or another, and have the scars to prove it. Lg Quote

And, yet, you still live in what describe as a bad part of town (to say the least), and probably continue to put yourself in situations where you can "prove yourself."

Are you a 13 year old pizza face like I thought?? prove myself? I don't have to prove anything to anybody, except that if they try to harm me, they're going to regret it for the brief few minutes they have left on earth. Some day you might grow up, but I highly doubt it. You may grow old, but I don't think you have what it takes to grow up. Lg Quote

I think I know what you need. A good smackdown. Somebody to whup on your ass until a fire gets lit in your belly. And then you start fighting back. I know it sounds a little harsh, but I think that might do the job. Somebody to thump on you until that instinct to survive causes you to wake up and fight back. You see, if you DON'T fight back, you're going to get the shit beat out of you, because the perp gets his jollies off making your face look like the ass end of a donkey. If you DO fight back, you still end up looking like shit, but so does the perp! So...which way do you want it to be? Keeping in mind one thing. When the shit hits the fan, and it is time to ACT, you ARE going to get hurt. There are a lot worse things than getting hurt. So you go into battle KNOWING you are going to get hurt, you get over that idea, and get on with the job of taking down the opposition. In some situations, you know you're going to DIE. Like that Jewish Holocaust Survivor Professor who kept a door closed so that Cho couldn't get inside the room to kill more students. He knew he was going to die. He took the bullets through the closed door. What a GODLY MAN. You and I should kiss his feet. We should bow to him on bended knee, because he knew what being a grown up was all about. A MENCH! Balls of steel. Fire in the gut. Putting others safety before his own. He is a Saint. There should be more MEN like him in our tribe. Don't shame us by being a pussy. Lg Quote

Your definition of "a man" seems to focus on someone who gets into dangerous situations, then successfully fights his way out. Sorry, not mine. While I've taken self defense classes in hand-to-hand combat and various arms, I do my best not to put myself in situations that may require me to rely on them. While I think I'm prepared, I wouldn't really know until things presented as such. I hope I never have to find out. -- Notan Quote

Not even up to the point of his tightening his finger on the trigger is there ANY circumstance that will save your life OTHER than fighting back. But if you can think of one, do let us know. Cowering did not work. He shot them anyway. Now what have you other than cowering? >You said, "They should have charged him while he was shooting. Somebody >would have tackled him before he needed to reload..." Actually no, I did not. You have miscalculated the attributions level authors. It was "Omnipotent" who wrote that. No fault, just an error any of us could make in sorting attributions when they've gone three or four deep. I believe, if I may correct my colleague Omnipotent that at the point of needing to reload would be the BEST time to charge the perp. He more than likely did not afford them that chance, but left the room, reloaded and attempted to reenter. Just calculating from the media reports of course. > >Without knowing the layout of the room, the training, if any, the people >had in self-defense, <again> how close Cho was to the people, and a >multitude of other variables, there's no way to know what a "stand" would >have resulted in. It's possible they did try to rush him. One, none of your 'what ifs' really matter in a survival situation. You do what you have to do in the circumstances and environment you find yourself in. A hail of chairs thrown at him by a lot of healthy strong young people would very well have given them the moments they needed to lay hands on him and his gun. The schoolboys that took down Kip Kinkel at Thurston some years ago proved that. They did it bare handed, even with one of them already shot by fighting to live and to stop the slaughter. > >But your answer is an absolute. If they did this, this is what the >outcome would have been. Nope. You are projecting meanings I have not offered. Or, you may feel free to point to my very words and show where I said they would succeed automatically. They still might have all died who did die, or be wounded. "Might" is about odds, not certainty. I know perfectly well that continuation of my life every single day, and as I age, even every hour, is based on the odds. My time WILL run out, but odd are, because I am extraordinarily healthy and strong (I heat with wood and chop it all...from standing tree to feeding my wood stove) I'll, by the odds, outlive a great many that are my age now. I've already outlived my own father's age at death, a hail and hearty carpenter, by 12 years. >Unless you know something that no one else seems to know, it's nothing >but speculation. I would have to know things others don't. That goes with reality. And others know things I don't. Are you referring to this particular issue, survival in extremis? I believe I do some things others don't, on that matter. I've been in dangerous situations both by choice and chance. And that I'm writing this proves that I was either extraordinarily lucky, or gifted at tactics, or both. I've survived three such attacks. One where I was armed, and that really created a no win for the thug...who wisely, when he discovered it, walked away muttering that he'd have gotten me etc etc etc. One where I faked out the perp, a young man with a length of pipe beating on the side of my pickup door with intent to do harm, I must presume. And the last, but the first one chronologically, a young man with a 10" heavy chef's knife already around my throat from behind. He handed it to me after I made a couple of comments. I won't bore you with the conversation, but I did follow through. I bought him some coffee and donuts, and I hooked him up with a contractor and a job doing labor on a high rise construction below Diamond Head on Oahu, Hawaii. I still have the knife. It's in our kitchen knife drawer but only I use it, at my request. And I smile when I do. It's been there since 1962, the morning after the incident. I've had an "interesting" life. Like the Chinese curse says. I must have really offended some chinese person. R R R R R You've been hallucinating. Real life is nothing like your boring existence, my boy. That's why you know so little. Go get a hard job. Join the military. Travel. Drink in seedy bars down by the docks. Learn a couple of languages, at least well enough to curse someone. It'll do yah some good. Honest. 0:] Quote
