While I strongly support the Second Amendment and licensed carry of firearms, I cannot support the current bill in the Legislature that would allow unlicensed persons to carry firearms. Please note the hypocrisy of the Legislature, as the proposal would allow unlicensed carry on Main Street, but not on Gervais Street (at the State House). If this is such a good idea here, why is it not a good idea there? |

Because legislaters are afraid of law abiding people! And they should be worried! |

Yet another "I support the Second Amendment BUT" useful idiot.
"The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose'." - U.S. v. Cruikshank (1875)
The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms as uninfringeable, hence requiring permits to exercise the right is facially impermissible.
Ignoring the plain command of the Second Amendment because one may not feel comfortable with it is selfish and disingenuous. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
