    Central meaning of the second amendment

    Didn't see it, don't get me wrong when there are several responses and discussions going on I don't go through the post thread to see if I missed somebodies response. My answer would be I feel the state has an interest in regulating firearms and that the commerce power clearly justifies federal...

    The limits of the Commerce power? [W:85, 130]

    Re: The limits of the Commerce power? Yes but he also noted that the Necessary and Proper clause expanded rather than limited congressional authority. The entire statement you quote from McCulloch v. Maryland says, "We admit, as all must admit, that the powers of the Government are limited...

    Central meaning of the second amendment

    Dude in my mind Heller clearly established a fundamental right and clearly applied it to a state. As far as i'm concerned the case afterwards stands as a mere affirmation of what was established. As Mcdonald v. Chicago makes clear in its syllabus, "Heller points unmistakably to the answer...

    Central meaning of the second amendment

    Yes the case filed as a result of heller that reasoned that its reasoning in heller applied the second amendment to the states by the 14th amendment your love of slight technicalities never fails Harshaw. What sources did you do this extensive research.

    The limits of the Commerce power? [W:85, 130]

    Re: The limits of the Commerce power? Harshaw what do you think of how Marshall described the power in Gibbons when he said "It is the power to regulate, that is, to prescribe the rule by which commerce is to be governed. This power, like all others vested in Congress, is complete in itself...

    Central meaning of the second amendment

    Yes I know the FDR court was crooked because they did not apply the law the way you would like it to be. And I suppose that turtle and harshaw are just so above preconceived notions I mean they almost deserve a fair and balanced sticker. Actually before the the FDR court packing the court had a...

    Central meaning of the second amendment

    Did you know the power to regulate commerce textually says nothing about preventing state trade barriers? And BTW if you are accepting the premise the court laid out in Heller and that case that came afterwards. Then you must have noted that they completely disagreed with the notion that the...

    Central meaning of the second amendment

    I know what i'm arguing I'm saying that that the two things are not necessarily inapposite to one another thats all. I mean if regulate assault rifles at hunting lodges, then aren't you outlawing them by a degree.

    The limits of the Commerce power? [W:85, 130]

    Re: The limits of the Commerce power? True but getting back to the question I originally asked before the statement you quoted. What can the congress do to stop state trade barriers? Telling me its intent tells me nothing in such a situation what does congress do send an order to cease and...

    Central meaning of the second amendment

    But its protected for a certain purpose and unless you are telling me that purpose includes the carrying of a loaded gun to a public park, or carrying a gun which can evade metal detectors into an airport, or to shoot a deer with a 50 cal browning. Then not only is it not obvious its not...

    The limits of the Commerce power? [W:85, 130]

    Re: The limits of the Commerce power? I mean its certainly sensible to say that regulating commerce among the states is different than regulating with foreign nations. On what basis can it be said that the government may prescribe the rule for commerce with foreign nations but among the states...

    The limits of the Commerce power? [W:85, 130]

    Re: The limits of the Commerce power? That tells me nothing that gives me a situation so what then does the congress do send an order to cease and desist? I have another one for you in 1807 I believe the congress passed an embargo on European trade by doing so did it not proscribe a rule...

    Central meaning of the second amendment

    Not at all, certainly if one is to say the state may regulate a particular use then why does that categorically eliminate the ability to regulate the particular tool?
