“Gun rights are constitutional, but they shouldn’t be unconditional...."

[DougC]

So says the Dallas Morning News in a recent editorial. At least they are consistent over the years in opposing 2A starting with the CHL law in 1995. And later the open carry law followed by constitutional carry last year.

As the blog author says, "But at the heart of all of this is that the Dallas Morning News editorial board thinks of the Second Amendment as a second-class right. They see ample reason to restrict it in ways they would never tolerate restrictions on, say, Freedom of the Press."

They should lose their right to publish if they ever make a grammatical error or misspell a word. After all, the First Amendment isn't absolute.

Big cities are all run by Lefties, as they are full of people who want someone to take care of them and give them free things. I gave up reading the Houston Chronicle years ago. That rag is so bad that parakeets won't crap on it if you use it to line the bottom of the cage. The Dallas Morning News was a waste of trees long before the Chronicle became a communist propaganda machine.

Newspapers and news magazines are losing readers by the thousands every day. They will soon become a thing of the past - like Betamax, dial phones, 8-tracks, and pet rocks. Good riddance!

Hey, I took my pet rock fort a walk today. It's a Rock Island but still a pet.

Well, they are certainly right about constitutional carry being mislabeled... The permitless carry we got is certainly not without infringments, calling it constitutional is just silly.

 

[DoubleDuty]

Apparently these geniuses haven't read the part of no infringements. The only right that says so. The fact that there are over 22,000 Unconstitutional ones doesn't make it less so.

Gun rights are not predicated upon the Constitution.

They are recognized in the Bill of Rights as being natural and endowed by God.

We have the right whether the Constitution was written or not

We had them before the Constitution and will never cease to have then

Well yeah, that document just backs it up in writing.

"Shall Not Be Infringed" is self-explanatory, even if you do not like it.

2A just keeps us in the liberal's minds.

 

[BillM]

Commies everywhere.

 

[TX oddball]

These moronic commies don't realize that the 2A is there to defend the rest of the amendments and the Constitution.
And typical commies, they cherry-pick and lie, as always.

They're more interested in reading the part about a militia, and completely turning it on its head and misapplying it to justify their support for infringement and restriction.

These moronic commies don't realize that the 2A is there to defend the rest of the amendments and the Constitution FROM THEM.

FIFY.....

Bingo. By seeing the simplicity of the words used, it's easy to see self preservation is a right no person can take or restrict.

Every time there is a school shooting it reveals the stupidity of gun laws and the fact that gun free zones are targeted to reduce the chances the killer will be confronted by a legal weapon and stopped.
Somehow they forget the futility of the great prohibition and how it created a mass organized crime network in America resulting in several drug issues we still have..
Not to mention the police who have no duty to protect and no honor to uphold.

But hey demoncraps prove that stupid is as stupid does.

All part of the plan to make us subjects.

When the Constitution was written, the Founders were only aknowedging and recognizing these inherent rights. They were not granting any rights to anyone, and if anything were placing limits upon the government in regards to our rights.

"Shall not be infringed" Means not conditional.
