The TSA (privacy, grouping under the guise of terrorism, I'm not sure children under 8 or people over 70 are terrorists. Especially Americans (this tells me we have a paranoid government), Obamacare, As passed by the Congress:
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. The DHS statement above is contradictory to this statement, saying it is illegal to stop a government that is turning totalitarianism (before it happens, which is the only way to stop it. See where that goes?), Scout drones being set over friendly skies, the regime wants tracking devices in all new cars starting somewhere around 2015 (there is a thread in loud noises somewhere, haven't found it yet), trying to rid God from schools (liberals in general, under the ridiculous guise it might offend someone without caring it offends those who believe). As for the 2nd amendment, Hillary has been trying to ratify the UN small arms treaty here in the states. There are more but I'm not encyclopedia. |

I suppose I beg for someone to think for themselves. I'm no "brainwasher". The only thing most of you are concerned with is putting me down (yes, that is childish). If you are at work, then do your work. Then go ahead, ask me to defend one of my viewpoints and I will give you a straight answer. |

So at 23 shouldn't you be working friday as well? Your posts are very hypocritical most of the time. I mean you had an entire thread talking down upon gay people based on a video/picture and have the nerve to call anyone a bigot.

And you deserve it too. Wow, I was wholly unaware that you were sitting in the corner of this office that I am sitting in and that you had to do the work that I was not doing. (hint: if you don’t know what I do, it is strongly suggested that you mind your own business as it relates to the efficiency with which I do my job) Never mind ME asking you to defend your viewpoints, there are FOUR members who have been doing so over the course of four threads other than this one and you have yet to respond yet. In turn, the ridicule continues.

You now refuse to do what you were doing before in an effort to, yet again, insult and ridicule. So I am still the bad guy? I have viewpoints, but you, you are messed up. If you are at work, you should be working. Not on zilvia. I don't think this needs to be discussed. If I had internet access at work, I would be doing what I am supposed to be doing, and be damn thankful I have one, not bitching at someone because they refuse to respond to insults. So, if you want to ask me something to defend (pick your choice, there are plenty) I will answer it. Otherwise, I'm not going through 30+ posts to answer them all. I don't have time for that. |

I'm with Phlip on this one, you keep trying to pass over any of the questions that deserve a logical answer, and only respond to the ones that you can try to come up with an insult to return. What does Phlips job have anything to do with you anyways, what if he worked from home? None of that even pertains to your random threads that you come up with. All we want to see is something to back up these bold claims that you keep posting about every few days. "The right to bear arms shall not be infringed" is still intact. You can still go buy a gun, believe me there is nothing I hate more than gun laws living in Kalifornia but as far as I have seen there is no new legislation to ban assault weapons again. The most ridiculous laws are coming out of Kalifornia when it comes to guns anyways. |

People DO think, which is why they are asking you questions. Everyone is questioning you on your resources and it just seems like this is what YOU believe, not what you can prove. Usually making claims requires a logical source to pull information from, but half the stuff you've posted up is like trying to get real news from The Onion.

It's one thing to post up a link, and another for you to go all chicken little about everything you post. I read the link, but I didn't get the same thing out of it that you did. You seem to jump to major conclusions with even the slightest hint of something you disagree with.
A direct quote from your article: "(U//FOUO) Groups or individuals who facilitate or engage in acts of violence directed at federal, state, or local government officials or infrastructure in response to their belief that the government deliberately is stripping Americans of their freedoms and is attempting to establish a totalitarian regime. These individuals consequently oppose many federal and state authorities’ laws and regulations, (particularly those related to firearms ownership), and often belong to armed paramilitary groups. They often conduct paramilitary training designed to violently resist perceived government oppression or to violently overthrow the US Government. (Page 2 of 3, emphasis added)" There is nothing wrong with you believing that the Government is stripping you of your rights, and in some ways I might agree. But the article is clearly talking about people who engage in acts of violence towards "federal, state, or local government officials or infrastructure". But unless you are using acts of violence to convey your point then you have nothing to worry about. |

Origin, dude, really?? I mean really? I ask for this

It is a freaking pat down, stop getting all bitchy about it. You do not have a undivided right to fly in planes. Now if you want to bitch about it being a worthless policy or not efficient or effective then sure, I can meet you on that one. But to say that you are losing some sort of liberty? No. No. No. I cannot believe I had to post a foxnews article... I feel... dirty? Um, No. It is constitutional. No matter what you think, that is how the court came out. I do not think corporations should have the same constitutional protections as humans do, but you know what? they do. I do not go around crying about it being unconstitutional. I say "that is bad policy" and "you know if they really cared they could pass an amendment" and "hey, since these corporations are now people, how can we sue them as people instead of corporations, does this mean there are new avenues of liability for corporate actions, etc." See how that all works? Instead of crying about what the SCOTUS does, make it work for you. The freaking supreme court, even the "liberal" justices said, hey, this is a tax. So you know what you do now you say OMG OBAMA RAISED TAXES!!!! RAWR GROVER NORQUIST!!! Again, you can say the policy sucks all you want, but it is absolutely constitutional and does not take away any of your liberties. Quote:
As to the language of the 2nd, "to keep and bear arms." That language is so freaking ambiguous that even the SCOTUS cannot agree as to what it means. I would point you to DC v. Heller, but do not worry about it. If you are of the Scalia elk - you flip the words so that the only thing that matters is "arms" and by arms he means any firearm. Now if you are of the Stevens elk, you say hmm, arms during the time of the framers meant weapons, not military weapons, so rifles and revolvers, not automatic rifles and UZIs (aka military grade weaponry). Look that is a very basic ad lib, but for the purposes of this... it is enough. But again, no one is losing any rights for any reason. Quote:
As you can see, it just explains all the different types of radical groups within the united states. This is nothing new, and honestly... really? This got you upset? Really? This is really basic stuff here... but I guess this means tyranny... I dunno, but yeah, I would read some of these things before posting them. I mean the first one is Anarchist... so I guess you RWNJ need to step up your game because those lefty loones are still beating you. Why is this an issue? absent them doing illegal searches, they are allowed to fly over, they are even allowed to watch stuff. I guess street cameras bug you out too? We live in a digital age where everything we do is captured in the public... It kind of comes with the territory. Blame technology and the fact that nothing in the constitution prohibits drones from flying around with a camera on. PS. If you were worried about the story where they used drones to monitor cattle ranchers, that was a good thing. Unless you like cow shit in your drinking water then, yeah that was bad. I prefer water with no shit. Quote:
In fairness I did post a foxnews link. Just give it a whirl. Quote:
Further, though it is true the the words "separation of church in state" are not printed in the constitution... it has been a solid constitutional principle since the founders. But hey, do not take my word for it, go to law school and learn about it. Quote:
And because I know that is way to long to read here is the spoiler - "We found no evidence of Obama or Clinton indicating they want the UN conference on an arms trade treaty to ban the use of firearms; the recent speech by an administration underling states the government will not back a treaty that infringes on the Second Amendment. This claim runs so substantially counter to reality, it’s ridiculous. Pants on Fire!" Ok, so that went a little longer then potty break. |

I encourage you to make the difference between the two dialogues. Hope this is good enough for Phlip wanting me to answer. The tables have changed. I make good points, but I have driven you right to the other side. You won't listen if it smacks you in the face. Don't humor yourself. |

And your small arms treaty link is stupid. It is a partisan blog. I posted a fact check on those exact claims. But I guess politifact is what? Biased? Sure. Next time use the quote button right. ANNND one more thing. The words of the constitution should mean something, so when it says "WELL REGULATED militia" that to means something more then you and your 3 buddies. I am pretty sure most would agree. |

"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." Heller also clearly distinguishes that the right is to "the people," not the National Guard. "(1) The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Pp. 2–53." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distric...mbia_v._Heller

Here were my notes • Really looking at how does the court decide what a constitutional provision is • 2nd amendment – question before the court, can DC prevent the keeping of loaded handguns in the home, how do justices answer this question? • Sources used by various justices • Scalia uses text, dictionaries 18th century dictionaries - sees that arms talks about offensive/defensive use • Stevens uses different dictionary - sees that arms means military arms, weapons would have meant it all, but use of arms is term of art that is contracted with the word weapons • what else do we do when interpreting text? • Parsing the text - is this two rights to keep arms and to bear arms, or is it one right to keep and bear arms? • Prof thinks stevens argument better on the construction (to, and to means 2 rights, where here it is one right) • the right of the people is used in the first and the fourth • that the first amendment of the right of the people, talks about multiple people not a singular • 4th talks about more individual • Stevens says this is inconclusive, that there is no answer, that this is a parsing that does not help (of Scalia opinion) • look at same or similar language within the text • look at clauses and figure out how they are related to one another • rule of judicial construction – every word counts, its best to start at beginning and go from there • Scalia deals with the main clause, then says the second clause is really not that important • Scalia majority skips to the second clause, and the ask what the first clause adds for us • both agree that reason for 2nd amendment was for congress not to be able to destroy militia (differ on what militia means and is) • textualist - will read provisions that are related to them • Original-ism - what other people at the time said, and what the framers and people involved said • intent of the framers – pure textualist do not get involved with this - what people were doing at the time, and legislation and case law within a decade or so of a constitutional amendment (absent here) On substance, I go with Stevens. He really gives it to Scalia and pretty much calls him out saying, hey buddy you are just making this shit up. He even makes fun of his grammar skills. It is probably one of the more entertaining back and forth opinion/dissent. Scalia is witty, but really he was way more entertaining when he was first on the court... now it is just sad political hackery, and frankly, he can do so much better. |

I got my JD, not sure how that makes me a wanna be? I do not think anyone has an issue with the right to actually have firearms But what does the amendment allow the government to do? Why did they write it as "to keep and bear" and not "to keep and TO bear?" Why did they say "arms" and not "weapons?" - - How can you answer any of those questions definitively without knowing what the framers had in their heads at the time they wrote it? Does the ghost of Adams speak to you? If you look at state constitutions during the debates, they varied in the way they had their own 2nd amendment type rights. Some said weapons, others had arms, etc. Not only that, but the meanings of the words have changed, you look up the word arms, not only are there numbers different dictionaries, but they all have more then one definition that relates to some sort of weapon. Now do you use a dictionary of today? or of the 18th century? Which one? Do you see how just the word "arms" can be almost impossible to define? Add those to your research list. Homework is due Monday. (Its the weekend, I mean I only half study so I do not expect you to full study). |
