No rights are absolute including the right to keep and bear arms.

Unfortunately the 2nd is often treated as if it were a vague suggestion rather than a right. Many people act as if they can pick and choose which rights are rights and which are just ideas.

"They have bought and/or intimidated many politicians..."

...in the head of Ross Olmos. Maybe he should consider seeking mental help.

This is a much stronger right to bear arms in the Constitution than there is a right to vote.

As a first step. I will call this guy out as a liar. The AR-15 is not an assault rifle.
Ergo, this guy is a liar, or an idiot, or both.
Arguing with such a specimen is a waste of time

The phrase “being necessary to the security of a free State” is as important as “shall not vbe infringed”. It’s all about Freedom.

little date problem here. The NRA was founded in 1871 by Northern Republicans to lobby Congress to pass the 14th and 15th Amendments. I might add by Northern Republicans to counter the Southern Democrats and their KKK. It might also amuse you the MLK and Malcom X were registered Republicans.

Arcane language that leads to confusion?

Uh, where it says “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed”

Pretty easy to understand IMO.

All I know from history is that the NRA was founded because of the abysmal shooting of Union troops during the War of Secession. I don’t know the actual date of founding but it was of course after the war.

I would like to challenge Sen. Rubio to publically explain why any American civilian actually needs to own a military assault weapon

(trying my best Daniel Boone voice:)" Have you ever experienced a military assault by a b'ar? That's why.

“Shall not be infringed”. The Collectivists are too dense and stupid to understand that phrase.

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.

I don’t see anything iffy in this. Seems pretty darn absolute to me.


2A is the only Amendment among all 27 that have been ratified by the States that includes the phrase SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

Looking at the comments following the article, it appears that the author, “a former police officer and a retired associate professor of criminal justice”, pretty much both demonstrated that he has failed at both professions, and had his a$$ handed to him by informed citizens.

It's almost like those 4, easy to comprehend words don't even exist in most locales. I suppose we are to blame for "allowing" the continued "infringing". 😡🍿🍻🇺🇸

Still making the arguments that were shot down in the Heller case.

Of course there’s no comment section. That communist clown would be torn a new A-hole real quick.

I see you're having more spelling and diction problems, Ross, you inhabitant of the Bell Curve's left side.

LOL great insult. You're a poet.

Have you considered a liberal arts degree, maybe a master's in fine arts? :D (sarcasm there)
