Is the right to keep and bear arms fundamental and universal, or not?

... "The only problem with proposing a U.N. treaty extending the right to keep and bear arms as a fundamental human right for all people, as Gingrich proposed, is that we fall rather short of that lofty goal ourselves, even here in the U.S. We deny felons who have paid their debt to society the right to keep and bear arms (and even body armor), even while ruling that denying them the right to vote is 'racist.'" ...

"Last week, in pointing out the problems with Jill Lepore’s attempt to undermine the Second Amendment and justify more gun control, I focused on the fact that our right to keep and bear arms is a God-given right."

"As such, it preceded not only the Second Amendment but also the founding of the United States."

"In other words: We don’t have the right to keep and bear arms because the Bill of Rights says so; rather, the Bill of Rights says so because the right to keep and bear arms is intrinsic to our very being: it is a right with which we were endowed by our Creator." ...

"Tom Gabor, guest columnist for The Palm Beach Post is a former professor of Criminology and a criminal justice consultant. He has served as an expert witness on and written extensively about guns and violence. And he is, apparently, an idiot. Either that or he is a liar. He writes in Thursday's TPBP that 'Guns for self-defense mean more costs, not more benefits'. Mr. Gabor bases this claim almost entirely on two very questionable sets of government statistics. First, he uses the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program to count 'justifiable homicides':" ...

“'On another issue, Republicans claim Democrats want to confiscate your guns. That's not true. It's a scare tactic used for decades with the help of the National Rifle Association and American Legislative Exchange Council, a Federalist think tank pushing their radical agenda.' That’s John Foster Way regurgitating the oft-heard whopper in soothing tones of reasonableness. Not that there isn’t a kernel of truth to it when it comes to the whole NRA fundraising thing. But slap a polygraph on any 'common sense' gun controller and deep down, under all those layers of fear, distrust and loathing lies the gun grabber within . . ." ...

"Gun enthusiasts who also enjoy the pleasures of online shopping may have noticed that gun parts and accessories are once again being sold on shopping website eBay. Although Guns.com just got wind of this, eBay had actually quietly removed its four-year-ban on firearms to permit gun part and accessory transactions last December."

"eBay spokeswoman Amanda Miller said via email the company wanted to 'give sellers opportunities to offer more products in the hunting category,' so the company lifted the restriction on gun parts and accessories that are legal to sell in the U.S. to, more or less, compete with other online and offline stores." ...

"People I’ve talked to are shocked to find out there's no law against people bringing concealed, loaded handguns onto school campuses if they have a concealed handgun license in Oregon."

"Most schools have policies prohibiting guns on school property, but a recent Oregon Court of Appeals ruling has raised questions about their enforceability — and because most laws relating to guns must be approved by the Oregon Legislature and not by municipalities or other units of local government, those school policies prohibiting guns might not be binding. It is time for the state Legislature to address the issue." ...

Gun owners’ guide to the 4th Amendment: Seizures

"One of the most common interactions between law-abiding gun owners and law enforcement occurs when a citizen, unfamiliar with the practice, sees someone openly carrying a firearm in a store, or a park, or just walking down the street. In many cases, they call the police to report what the media has lead them to believe must be a crime."

"This usually results in a law enforcement officer approaching the person who is openly carrying their firearm to 'ask them a few questions.' This is what we call a law enforcement 'stop'. But not all stops rise to the level of a seizure subject to 4th Amendment protection." ...
 

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
...but if circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude, that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people, while there is a large body of citizens, little if at all inferior to them in discipline and use of arms, who stand ready to defend their rights... — Alexander Hamilton speaking of standing armies in Federalist No. 29.
