I will now challenge YOU to show me one time that the president has advocated the banning of all guns since he took the office.

That is the title of this thread. You are posting off topic.

Yes, he wants to ban assault weapons.

Yes, the majority of violence comes from hand guns.

YES, an assault weapon can wreck more havoc than a handgun.
Originally posted by nomnom
YES, we have incidences which prove this.
Originally posted by nomnom
NO, there is not a single good reason to have an assault weapon on the streets.

Not dealing with your nonsense anymore. You lack critical thought, and are weak of heart.

So, please show me were it states "Shall not infringe, except these listed arms".
I will wait for it....................................................
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.

It's not needed. This is what it 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.
Well regulated. The right to keep and bear arms.
This is exactly what is taking place. It's being well regulated. The right to keep and bear arms is a fact in the United States.

The second amendment makes it clear that the federal government should not infringe on the peoples right to bear arms and form militias. The duty seems to be passed to state and local government, if at all. Well regulated in the context of *by the government* would infringe the rights provided in the second amendment, therefore it becomes a non-sequitur aka a contradiction.

The SCOTUS disagrees
In this decision they noted that the section of the 2nd about militia is not actually a law - it is an introduction and pronounces the purpose - but it does not limit the operative part which is hte right to bear arm. It therefore actually has little or no actual effect.
Also the SC has consistently allowed regulation of gun ownership. there is no question that regulation is legal - as long as you retain the right to bear arms under those regulations - ie the regulatiosn cannot prohibit you from bearing arms, nor make the sort of arms that are legal and suitable for use by a militia illegal - so t Washington DC was not entitled to ban all handguns, and was not entitled to require triggler locks that would make guns unuseable for the purpose of self defence in ones home.
but banning concealed carry is perfectly legal, as is restricting the features that weapons are allowed to have.

So you are saying even the states don't have the right to regulate firearms? Regardless of the legallese I think some restrictions are necessary for everyone's safety. The slippery slope analogy does not cut it for me. All nations have some form of gun control.
And I am not talking of feinstein's warped sense of humor. Her version was freakish!
