Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg on the Second Amendment:

"The Second Amendment has a preamble about the need for a militia...Historically, the new government had no money to pay for an army, so they relied on the state militias. And the states required men to have certain weapons and they specified in the law what weapons these people had to keep in their home so that when they were called to do service as militiamen, they would have them. That was the entire purpose of the Second Amendment."

But, Justice Ginsburg explains, "When we no longer need people to keep muskets in their home, then the Second Amendment has no function, its function is to enable the young nation to have people who will fight for it to have weapons that those soldiers will own. So I view the Second Amendment as rooted in the time totally allied to the need to support a militia. So...the Second Amendment is outdated in the sense that its function has become obsolete."

Thoughts?

If that's what the framers intended, they would have said:

>so long as their is a need for militias to protect sovereignty, the right to bear arms shall not be infringed.

Had it been phrased like this, it would have coincided with her idea. But even one of the co-authors of the second amendment said the second amendment is like two wolves and a sheep decided what to eat for lunch, and the sheep is fully armed contesting their decisions. This is why it doesn't coincide her mental gymnastics of the intention of the second amendment.

She's extrapolation intentions that doesn't equate to advances of technology in need of protection against invasions. Using syllogism, you can interpret the right to free speech not equating to the advances of technology such as the phone or the internet since the right can be interpreted that it doesn't redress grievances at this point of time. It's all gimmicks.

Just as clarification, I personally don't own a firearm, yet. I just haven't had the money for one but do plan on purchasing one in the near future. I am an advocate for the second amendment and I think her argument ignores the historical context of that amendment that makes it clear that the authors supported individuals to bear arms. I was just wondering what others thought of it.

Going to play devil's advocate here, her argument has nothing to do with advancements in weaponry, which is a stupid argument, but that the second amendment only applies to well regulated militias because at the time, that was how the US fought the Revolutionary War and it was necessary for citizens to be part of militias, a concept which no longer holds true save for the National Guard.

Agreed 100%. Ginsburg is one of the few remaining intellectuals in power, and right wingers despise that. Though her historical interpretation of the second amendment is sound, it doesn't regard the argument behind gun rights activists in modern day politics. They aren't saying whether the amendment is a justification, rather that average citizens need to protect themselves from 'criminals' or 'terrorists'. This argument bases itself on the idea that people cannot equally defend themselves when faced with a potential threat of an armed individual that may bring malcontent on the average citizen. To this I would mention that an armed citizen is highly more likely to harm themselves or others than actually face an armed threat. However, for those citizens who do face an armed threat, even though they may be few, do we hinder their ability by refusing them a weapon? Firstly, an assault weapons ban does not hinder this. They could have a handgun, even concealed still. Secondly, there are security forces (security, police, military) that are trained to use these weapons. Thirdly, is an armed citizen equally mitigating to an armed threat? Not necessarily. more often than not, negotiation or discussion can minimize a threat. Even school teachers are now told to defend themselves by whatever means necessary (throwing chairs, books, tables at intruders).

I'll take a bite. If you and I are both faced with the potential of being robbed, and the thief knows I'm armed with a firearm, and you're not, they'd more likely than not go after you. You can try and talk to them but if they are stealing from you for necessity, whether they need shit to sell for rent, bills or for drugs or whatever reason, you won't be able to talk them out of it easily. Also, if you think throwing a table at someone with a gun pointed to you is plausible, you're deluded.

Now I skipped over one of your arguments, but don't think I'm going to ignore it. This is the one about gun owners harming themselves. That same argument that you should ban something because it could potentially harm the owner can be applied to literally anything: cars, motorcycles, knives, swimming pools, pencils, you name it.

The cartels gets full autos and explosives from the Mexican armed forces. The recruits goes in, trained in how to use guns and explosives, steals the ordnance and go work for the cartels.

Good amount of these weapons comes from other corrupted states where weapons are stolen and ended up smuggled to various cartels.

>>690887978
The full text of the second amendment: "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."

She is not entirely wrong. The second amendment - as we can tell both from the text and the correspondence of those who ratified it - was created for the purpose of establishing state and local volunteer (or draft) militias that could protect the state in times of war. Part of that was money, as she said - the U.S. government came into existence piss broke, and could not have realistically raised the money to pay for a professional standing army if it had wanted to. But another big part of it was that our founders were afraid that a standing army could be used as part of a coup or so some such and would be more of a threat than it was worth, and did not want any such army.

Long since then, our federal government has stopped being broke and in fact now spends more on its professional standing army than makes any fucking sense whatsoever. Which means two things:
1) Militias are obviously no longer necessary for the defense of the state, and
2) Militias are no longer capable of defending us from the state.

The second amendment is absolutely outdated, in that it can no longer fulfill either of the two purposes for which it was penned. And that would make a compelling argument for considering legislative change, but certainly not for judicial invalidation, as the judiciary has no power to rule that laws have become "outdated."
>>
>>690887978
So by Ginsberg's reading of 2A, a well regulated militia is 'necessary' - and a standing Army Navy AirForce and USMC are not.
So, easy, disband the unconstitutional regular forces, and make every citizen exercise their right to bear and be the Militia of the USA.

It's simple. It's stating the right of the people (militia) and the right of the individual shall not be infringed. In the case of the Second Amendment, that is the right to own and operate arms (guns). Why? Because the right to defend oneself, and by proxy a group of people, the militia, against forces, is a God-given right for all humans that shall not been alienated by the government.

As Americans, we have the right to buy and own and use weapons (guns) to defend ourselves from attacker(s), even if they reside in government.

And how does that relate to the individual at all?

The individual right to bear arms? Right to counsel? Right to due process? Etc.

You forget that the original 10 Amendments, the Bill of Rights, are for the people. Individually and as a collective of free people exercising their individual rights.

And militias are the people. The Army (military) is different and always will be. You can't quit the Army, for example, willy-nilly. The militia is a group of individuals who can come and go to protect the State or its rights against other States or the federal government.

I don't agree with the bailouts. I support a free market and I'd probably agree with you that they're the result of a crony capitalist system.

That aside, your argument is full of shit.

"The auto companies have now repaid taxpayers every dime and more of what my administration invested in."

Do you know who said that? President Obama. If I give you five bucks, and you pay me back six in a week after interest, you haven't cost me anything. It's that simple. Now this isn't true because of the $80 billion we spent, we only recovered $70 billion, so we lost $10 billion, which is a lot of money. Now, how much does welfare cost the US annually? According to a UC Berkeley study, $152 billion. Turn off the Young Turks and actually research this shit. It's simple math.

Countries who have more gun control than the US on average have much less gun deaths.

With drugs it is actually the opposite. Countries with less anti drug laws, like portugal, swizerland or the neatherlands, they have less crime regardings drugs, less drug use and less drug deaths, than the US where they have a huge war against drugs policy!

With the amount of hardware floating out there and the cartels being expert at smuggling stuff, I'm surprised RPGs and manpads ain't seen regularly yet.

oh you are right, my bad looked at the wrong number, but that is the reason why I said "on average" cause you can always cherry pick your data and of course there are other factors aswell.

My reply was to a picture from paris, saying THAT was due to gun control in france, while the US has a homocide rate of over 15 times that of france.

In Mexico it is easy to get guns partly to to closeness to the US and their weak gun laws and the weak border protection.

I'm not cherry picking though. I'm literally telling you what numbers I'm using without trying to obscure anything from you. You're the one that chose to defend Mexico by saying they have lower gun deaths and after I reasonably dismissed it, moved on to another example like a pigeon shitting all over the board during a chess game. I can pick a country with lax gun laws and argue with it being the prime example of a country of armed citizens. Switzerland has about the same homicide rate with firearms that France does. There you go bud. We can keep going back and forth this way or you can have a meaningful conversation about why homicide rates are high and what we can do to combat this.

Also, you did not say "on average," nor did you mention any nuance in your post there.

And who gives a shit if people have guns or not. People don't just start shooting as soon as they're given a gun, there are other reasons why people commit crimes and you pretending that the possession of firearms is the one we need to focus on is a distraction only a sheep like you would accept.

someone else did mention mexico and even though we were talking about france I looked up the death by gun for mexico, and used the wrong number.
I wasn't "all over the board", I just returned to the original topic "paris attack", when I saw that the number for mexico was indeed higher.

>example of a country of armed citizens. Switzerland
Most guns in switzerland are owned by former army members who were trained to handle the weapon. A required training before buying a gun is a good idea in my eyes, like driving a car, etc.

Gun ownership numbers are around the same (even lower I think) than in germany or france and the gun laws in switzerland are very similar to the once in germany and france!

You have to have a criminal background check for buying guns and ammunition and you need a permit.
In general you have to lock your UNLOADED weapons.
If you want to get a carry permit, you have to have a reason, like being in law enforcement, private security or there is a special threat to your life (like for some celebraties or politicians).

I never said that I favor the banning of guns, I always said it is about weak vs tough gun laws.
Switzerland and all of europe has strict gun laws, but also a lot of guns, as switzerland or germany has a gun club in every city and village.

I don't think you'd find that French and German gun laws are all that close to Swiss gun laws. I in one hand love the way the Swiss handle guns and would like to see something like that in the states. Now the thing with the attacks in Paris is that it's not necessarily gun control in France that causes the homicide rate to be lower, I think culture is the biggest factor and that's where the attention should be focused on.

>>690905376
you can carry a loaded concealed handgun in 1/5 of america with zero permits or licenses, provided you legally own and can possess the gun, of course. in those 10 states, the world is not falling apart into anarchy

in fact, if you look at arizona, they have the lowest homicide rate per 100,000 capita in the last 50 years. if you look at the data, since 2010 when they implemented constitutional carry, all their violent crime rates show a sudden drop just after 2010 and continue to fall

>Now the thing with the attacks in Paris is that it's not necessarily gun control in France that causes the homicide rate to be lower,
The post I was replying to (originally), argued, that the paris attack was due to the weak gun laws.

So you think it would be possible to change the culture of a country? Sure culture, econemy, poor vs. rich, job market, etc. are all factors, but so are guns.

We can't change some backward idiology or some calture or at least that is really really difficult, which doesn't mean we shouldn't try, but gun regulation is something we can do easily.

Ppl who are not allowed to fly on a plane are allowed to buy a gun legally. I have no idea how someone can think that that makes sense.

Do you know how hard it is for someone in my country to get a firearm? And if anyone sees you with one, you'll almost definitely be arrested there and then.

Even if you had a firearm or managed to get one, it would be a large effort, costly and you're likely only doing it to kill a certain person or a few people. Also there are so few it's eassier for authorities to keep checks on who may/may not be buying/selling them. So i feel like i'm safe.

Obviously you're gonna get mad shooters it happens everywhere. But when such a large proportion of your population own guns, how can you feel safe?

you know that that is a universal argument? You could argue against every law this way.

But you are right, you can't stop a criminal from buying a gun ever or anywhere 100%, but you can make it very hard and very expencive.

I'm a criminal and I want to commit a crime. I need a gun.

USA: I go on a website where I can order wihtout background check and get the gun per mail for a decent prize, oh how great is capiltalizm.
EU: I go and look for an illegal gun. I look online and when I'm lucky I don't meet up with a secret agent and I don't meet a criminal who will just rob me instead of selling a gun. So I find a decent illegal gun dealer, who still wants more than 10 times the amount of money you have to pay on the US website. You could smuggle it yourself, etc.

You would have to invest much more planing, time and money. Sure it is hard to prevent a terroristic attack, but a mentally distubed person or a guy who hates his boss or a gay muslim who hates his self for being gay, would not have a gun liing around and would not be able to buy one on short notice and therefor not do it with a gun, but a knife or not at all.

Because not everyone who owns guns are going to turn into murderous assclowns.

I grew up in another country before becoming an American citizen. Hard to obtain firearms legally in the old country but people will make them. Ironically, grenades are easier to get. Some acquaintances of mine carries sticks of dynamite and a sawn off shotgun to school every damn day. Another packed two revolvers to school.

I can buy a gun online, have it shipped to my local gun dealer who will do a background check. After I passed that background check, I get the gun. If I do not pass, they alert the police and the ATF about my attempt to purchase.

So no, they just don't ship a firearm via post after you buy it.

Actually to some extend they do. Of course I think of a somewhat functioning society.
It is much easier to sell killing group A to the public than killing group B.

Hitler outlawed/killed communists when they" attackt the goverment" with public support cause they were "criminals" and stopped killing handicapped ppl, after peaceful protest.

Or look at peaceful protests in the DDR or at Guhandi or Mandela.

do you have reading comprehension issues? read your own fucking source: "Federal law prohibits felons from purchasing or receiving guns unless their rights have been formally restored. However, felons can get around this obstacle by buying guns from sellers who do not require criminal background checks."

FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS FELONS FROM PURCHASING OR RECEIVING GUNS

you fucking imbecile, those are private party transactions, not retail sales from gun shops or licensed gun dealers. literally the equivalent of random people posting "GUN FOR SALE" on craigslist. people sell drugs like this all the time, yes it is possible, but highly illegal and far more likely to end up in your own "EU" scenario of undercover police stings.

I think a person in a wheelchair can fight of a knife with bair hands more easily than he can fight of a gun. The guy in the wheelchair would have to be on high alert at all times and have good reflexes. This is much easier when the attacker has only a knife, instead of a gun.

I'm from germany and I would never ever expect to be attacked by a gun ever.
The likelyhood to have an accident on the Autobahn is a million times higher, but I still happily drive 150mph on a regular basis without ever thinking about the risk, cause it is so small.

At that point, MLK was trying to apply for a concealed carry permit. He knew that they were gunning for his ass. The government does not want to shoot him outright because they don't want to be seen as savages killing unarmed folks. They could say fuck it and go full bore, but they didn't.

That is a moronic argument and would set a very poor precedent for the interpretation of the rest of the Bill of Rights.

no, do you have?
Here I help you out:
"it is illegal for private sellers to transfer a gun to someone they either know or reasonably believe is prohibited from owning a gun, for example, if the seller knows the buyer is a felon"

>nothing about your made up scenario of buying guns on the internet is legal or legitimate.

SELLING guns is legal online without background check, aslong as you don't know that the person you sell it to isn't allowed to buy it.
If that is not a loophole then I don't know what is.

>>690910895
>is buying marijuana from the corner dealer instead of a using your state issued medical marijuana card to go to the dispensary a loophole?

if you can legally buy from the guy at the corner and he is allowed to sell it to you and doesn't has to check if you have a "medical marijuana card" as long as he doesn't know that you are not allowed to buy from him... yeah then I would still call it a loophole.

Like in Amsterdam, where growing and trading (bigger amounds) of marijuana is illegal. You are allowed to smoke it and sell it in coffeeshops, but you are not allowed to trade it.
So the coffeeshops themself more or less are not allowed to buy it, only to sell it, which is a giant loophole!

I own upwards of 30 guns. I have to get a background check for the majority of them. The ones I don't have a check for is because I have a concealed carry permit from the government that did a background check and deem me as a responsible citizen that can carry guns around. The private seller and myself fill out a transaction form after we both look at each other's ID and permits to make sure that we are both legal. So I still have to be sure I'm not buying a stolen gun, he has to be sure he's selling to someone who can own guns.

Beg to differ on the bare hand against knives. I've studied knife fighting, I have yet to find and instructor who will say that it is preferable or easier to fight against knives with bare hands. One of the thing you must do is to get off the line of attack, I doubt very much that a man in a wheelchair can be that quick to change his position to get away from the attack.

I lived most of my adult life in America, have yet to see the police going crazy. I was stopped by the police on multiple occasions while having guns on me, no problems at all. Actually, once was after o pick up a purchase from a gun store. I had 1 shotgun, one AK-47, a pistol and one AR-15 in the car along with 400 rounds of ammunition for the AK-47, 100 shotgun shells, 60 rounds for the pistol (Glock 19) and still have no problems from the police.

yeah I can see how you didn't understand what I was trying to say, as I stated it somewhat misleading, but maybe you should first try to understand a point, before you call the person making it an "Idiot".

With my statement
>less crime regarding drugs
I was referring to the things that were crimes before and which are connected to the drug market but not about the drugs.
Portugal for example has less crimes like stealing and assault connected to drugs.

I will give you a little example:
If you steal money from someone selling marijuana illegally and someone selling it legally. One will go to the police, while the other will beat the shit out of the you.

If that is not a loophole then I don't know what is.
that's called you being an idiot and making up illegal scenarios where you then falsely claim they are legal

She is. Over 80% of Americans support gun control in general, and over 90% support universal background checks, including something like 70% of NRA members. It's the Gun Companies and the leadership of the NRA who spend millions fighting it, because they make tens of millions by fighting it.

/b/ is only holding a contrary position because 14 year old fappers love to imagine themselves as the hero of an action movie, and restricted access to guns means they can't be that hero. They like to ignore the fact that they're 300 pound diabetics missing three toes and could never do that heroic slow running scene, because the stairs from the basement are sooo tough, and the sun outside burns them.

The line between survival from knife attack and death is very thin. The best way is to shoot back, unless you think the person in a wheelchair should train in martial arts that won't make up for the fact that he is still very disadvantaged because of his lack of mobility.

Background check do not stop every thing. The guy that shot up the club in Orlando passed the background check to buy guns. He was also subjected to FBIs comprehensive background check at least once (the FBI interviews your friends and family that knows you for over 7 years). He was also under investigation by the FBI on two separate occasions.

The background checks every time is a hassle. I have a concealed carry permit which means I went through both state and federal level background checks, another one is just a waste of time. That's like you have to take a driving test before you use your care every month.

is the same in germany, but like I quoted from politifact, it is only illegal, if you know that the other person isn't allowed to buy the gun.

It is not the case, that the person selling a gun ignores a law, but the law doesn't require for him to do a background check. The law allows him to be ignorant, but not ignorant of the law, but ignorant of the possibility, that the person buying the gun might brake the law.
And you can't be held accountable for someone else breaking the law.

This is something else than what you refer to.

There are more mass shootings in the US than days every year. Mass-stabbings are much fewer and last time I saw a statistic, it showed, that it is much more likely to survive a stabbing over a shooting.

Did background checks stops the Orlando shooter? He passed the NICS check and also the FBI's background check since the company that he worked for is a government contractor.

Did background checks stopped shooters in Detroit?

I can't really understand it, as in germany, every person has to be registered, but the goverment isn't allowed to tap our phones, who we called or look at our internet traffic without a real couse, while it is the other way around in the US (at least in practice).

He was also subjected to FBIs comprehensive background check at least once (the FBI interviews your friends and family that knows you for over 7 years). He was also under investigation by the FBI on two separate occasions.

That's why all this discussion is ongoing. Had the FBI known about his later behaviors, they could've stopped him. But GOP intransigence about shared records about persons within the US under investigation makes that tougher. If all the different LEOs could actually instantly find out who's under active and closed investigations, and those inquiries flagged back to the investigating officers, we'd have a lot less of this shit. And using a list of Domestic Violence convictions to block gun purchases would also help.

But keep on shouting 'buh duh constatooshum' like you're making an actual argument.

and 'It's a hassle to check if someone should be able to buy a gun'? GOOD. It should be. The right to buy a gun is not absolute and unfettered.

You fucks are like the assholes who hold up the bible and shout 'it's true because it says it's true'.

Well it's a good thing OP said your thoughts on the matter. Fucking dumbass, think before you type.

>>690915946
you missed the premise. i am saying if you don't think someone can be trusted with a gun, what makes you think they can be trusted out in society?

keep in mind, the current prohibiting crimes that prevent you from owning a gun/passing a background check are felonies and violent misdemeanors.

so if you release someone who you think will have a high likelihood of committing a violent act with a weapon, isn't that negligence? if you don't trust someone to not be violent, then they shouldn't be out in public

so either someone does their time in prison, and is released because we are 100% sure they won't be a threat. or they stay in prison/get executed. isn't this what we should ideally be striving for?

The winner in a knife fight is the guy that bleeds out in the OR. Knives still kills more people than guns according to the FBI's crime stats.

Mass shootings redefined as more than one person being shot at? That was redefined from the FBI's definition. Some journalist redefined the definition so according to that new definition there are more mass shooting than there are days.

The watch list that prohibits someone to get on a plane is very arbitrary. The process to get put on one is very opaque, getting off the list is damn near impossible, Ted Kennedy was on that list. The dude that shot up the club passed a multitude of background checks including the one conducted by the FBI so that he can work at government installations. The only background check that is more comprehensive is probably the ones for members of the Armed Forces who might have to handle secret information.

>>
>>690916528
because in america, we have 50 states, with 50 state laws. and on top of that, we have a federal government, with a set of laws that applies to every 50 states.

Federally, if you buy a gun commercially (from a store, shop, retail outlet, internet), the purchaser is subject to a criminal background check.

Federal has no requirement for private transfer between private citizens (non store, shop, retailers). so if you want to sell your gun to your neighbor/friend/guy on craigslist, you can do it, provided your state law allows it. 12 states require private transfers to come into a gunshop/retailer, and force the retailer to perform a background check. the retailers are allowed to charge for this service, so in effect, this is a state-mandated tax on gun purchasers.

these 12 states also happen to have the worst crime rates and crime infested cities in the entire nation. why, if all people are required to go through a background check? well, that's right, criminals don't buy their guns legally. big surprise

The only ones stricter would be closer to reviewing someone to see if they can be trusted with security clearances.

the navy yard shooter, the Orlando shooter and the Ft. Hood shooter all passed the more stringent background checks.

BTW, background checks would've done nothing to stop the killings in Detroit. All them guns were obtained illegally, mainly theft.
