Reply to comment by TheMagicJankster in Suspect in custody following fatal shooting of 12-year-old, 14-year-old also injured in Colorado shooting by spiceponey

“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.”

Where in that statement is a limit? Shall not be infringed seems pretty clear and obvious. If guns are banned it will be unconstitutional, that doesn’t mean its right or wrong but it is absolutely against what the constitution says.

The Supreme Court ruled that while some limitations are permissible, common use semiautomatic firearms do not fall under such a category.

I'll put it more plainly then.

The Second Amendment says the right to bear arms shall not be infringed.

The Supreme Court says that while some limitations are acceptable, others are not.

You cannot ban firearms. It's completely un-Constitutional. And beyond that, it's asinine to punish and infringe on the law-abiding who have done you no harm.
