So tell us Ed, when the Supreme Court ruled in the Heller and McDonald cases, which amendment took precedence... the 2nd or the 10th?

Local laws that prohibited the ownership of certain firearms were struck down in D.C. and Chicago. The individual right to keep and bear arms for self defense was affirmed by the High Court. Have you bothered to read the 10th amendment to see what it says?

Oh sorry, I forgot you are an idiot who cannot understand even the most simple things.

so then, why do state and local gun laws through out the land continue to be on enforceable?

could it be that those laws do not prohibit the ownership of certain classes of firearms, but only regulate ownership? duh...

The anti-gun laws in D.C. and Chicago were considered legal within those jurisdictions, and unfortunate people were prosecuted for violating them until a couple people named Heller and McDonald decided to fight it... and eventually these cases were decided by the Supreme Court.

You don't need to give me a link to the 10th Amendment idiot. I know what it says and what it means. If there was no 2nd Amendment, then under the 10th, states would be perfectly within their rights to regulate firearms which were not so regulated by the U.S. Constitution.

We have plenty of laws which reasonably and justifiably regulate ownership. Felons for example are not allowed to own or even attempt to purchase a firearm. Illegal immigrants like the one who shot and killed Kate Steinle may not possess guns. But the anti-gun politicians you support refuse to go after them, and instead concentrate their efforts on law abiding citizens.

What are the business hours of your gun shop Ed? What hours of business did you lie about on your FFL license application?

what you dont seem to want to acknowledge is that state and local laws that regulate ownership of firearms, without directly forbidding ownership of firearms, are not a violation of the federal charter...and these statutes have been settled law for many years.

for example, new york's sullivan law, which regulates ownership of handguns, has been in affect since 1911.

Well, Brown Vs. Board of Education had been in effect for decades. But Earl Warren's SCOTUS tossed it out.

The current SCOTUS tossed out several state and city laws restricting citizens' right to keep and bear arms; Including Chicago's, Illionois', and Washington DC to name but a few.

mikie: doubt if the sullivan law will ever be repealed...but after reading the following, one does wonder why it has lasted so long?

eD none of the jurisdictions I listed repealed their gun laws. Their gun laws were declared unconstitutional by SCOTUS.

mikie: as the sullivan law has been on the books since 1911, doubt if the court will declare it null and void...

more likely, the court would rule against another, more recent, ny gun law:

the key issue is and should be prohibition vs regulation.

weapons prohibition can be a violation of the second amendment. weapons regulation is not.

Well, Plessy v. Ferguson had been in effect for decades. But Earl Warren's SCOTUS tossed it out in Brown vs. Board of education.

The current SCOTUS tossed out several state and city laws restricting citizens' right to keep and bear arms; Including Chicago's, Illionois', and Washington DC to name but a few.

Here's Anti-Gunner Ed Good, arguing in favor, once again, of Universal Background Checks:



Of course, Ed Good is an FFL Dealer who is probably salivating at the idea of earning an easy $40.00 or so doing transfers every time a father or grandfather gives or passes down a gun to his kid or grandkid. And 10 guns equals $400.00 to the greedy torch artist who makes stupid excuses for cheating people who buy his loose doubles with a next to impossible return policy. This is also a guy who violates the BATF rules on having a brick and mortar business with regular store hours.
