intresting video..its funny the argument that the only way to keep guns out of criminals hands is to not let law abiding citizens have them.....does anyone see the absurdity of this? why dont we have sophisticated sattalite metal detection that has shape recognition and then only scan criminals homes so police can bust the door down and confiscate thier weapons...just as absurd a concept...no? oh and who is to argue the citys that establish gun laws that ALL citizens must carry weapons...and the FACT crime rate in those citys are 0%!!!

So when the states have the power to over turn our Second Amendment right, then what's to stop them from over turning all the others?
The states have power over anything that is not explicitly governed or addressed in the Constitution and it's amendments, as i understand it and should not be given the power to change our Constitutional Rights.

The 2nd Amendment will prevail in this case. If you listen to the video, even the Brady Center PR guy says as much. He's just hoping to see a bunch of caveats that will hinder the right as much as possible.
I posted this in another thread...but it's a glimmer of hope for a country that seems bent on ruining the 2nd amendment.

Baron Vs Baltimore, look it up. States don't have to follow the constitution. Interesting precedent. The 5th amendment was revoked, thus dissolving any such other amendments. Basically, the bill of rights are only applicable to the federal government... Cool ****

Are you sporting your tin foil hat, or your armadillo today? I truly hope you're being sarcastic, or you're doing a foul job of making gun rights advocates look like an intelligent deserving group. I'm a card carrying member of the NRA, and also have a Conceal and Carry permit, but i would love to see the citation and credentials of your evidence. Assuming, this is all not some sarcastic joke, dear lord as you speak on behalf of all gun owners I hope it's a joke.
i had to bold "sattalite" that made me laugh.

I'm sorry, but that's inaccurate. The 5th amendment requires just compensation for eminent domain, it does not restrict it. Yes, there have been some very questionable decisions on the issue, I'll grant you that. But our Constitutional rights are most certainly guaranteed at the state level as well as every other local level below it.

Barron v. Baltimore......the Supreme Court did not rule anything. they agreed that they had no jurisdiction over the matter.
however, looking at a 180 year old case and trying to apply it to todays situations is probably a waste of time.

I believe MA has a "shall issue" clause which pretty much guarantees you a permit unless you have a disqualifying history (i.e. felony, illegal alien, etc.) The issuance by the Chief is likely so that they can keep tabs on you, which is a disgraceful act that I'm sure violates the spirit of the 2nd Amendment if nothing else.
of course im being saracastic...and that was a mistype..lol and yes im am a CCL also, except the part of the citys in texas that have manditory carry laws.

yeah......too bad Texas is located in Texas.
The only "shall issue" is for a FID card which is for rifles and shotguns. The class B (rifles, shotguns, & pistol) and A (license to carry conceled) depend on the police chiefs decision and federal qualifications, which I already meet since I was liscensed in FL to carry conceled. My wife and I just completed the safety course yesterday and the instructors gave tips on what to put when applying.
