Well crap. Now I have to agree with 'ntgbanners' in part. They are correct in that the constitution does NOT "give" XXXXX on anything. So, in that regard, they are correct. Other than that, the can pound sand.

The 2nd Amendment says the government can't interfere with your right to keep and bear arms. There is nothing in the 2nd Amendment that "grants rights". Those pre-exist the Constitution itself.

No, they are not right. The constitution says “Shall not be infringed”. That means the US Constitution says you have a right to keep and bear your firearms.

It is quite literally, “Constitutional Carry” to carry concealed or not, without a permit.

The Bill of Rights does not enumerate what we are allowed to do. It is a list of things the Government is forbidden from doing.

It is utterly clear.

The constitution didn’t give anyone the right to carry guns publicly without permits, background checks, or training.

It does, however, recognize that right when it says "the right of the people (all citizens) to keep (own) and bare (carry) arms (weapons of all types) shall not be infringed (violated or encroached upon).

urge Florida’s legislature to oppose the constitutional carry bill, suggesting the bill “will increase FL homicide and violence crime.”

They made the same argument when FL passed their original CCW carry law.

Newtown Action Alliance followed the tweet with another, asking gun controllers to urge Florida’s legislature to oppose the constitutional carry bill, suggesting the bill “will increase FL homicide and violence crime.”

This takes us all the way back to the late 1980s, when Florida became one of the earliest 'Shall Issue" concealed carry States. The gun-haters condemned it as "The Gunshine State", and swore up and down that there would be blood on the streets; shootouts over parking spaces, mass pandemonium, murder on an unprecedented scale.

All of which didn't happen.

They're regurgitating the same lies.

A plague upon their house.

If we must have ‘permits, background checks, and training’ to exercise the rights enumerated under the 2nd Amendment, then it logically follows we also must have ‘permits, background checks, and training’ to exercise any of the other rights enumerated in the first 10 Amendments. No free speech, no freedom from self-incrimination, no freedom from search and seizure, no excessive bail, yadda-yadda-yadda, without permits, background checks and training.

The Constitution is NOT available as a cafeteria plan, what’s sauce for the goose must also be sauce for the gander. Whatever prerequisites or conditions are applied to any clause of any one amendment must likewise be applied to all others.

Newtown Action Alliance makes the baseless claim that “there is no such thing as “constitutional carry”.
Newtown Action Alliance, without evidence, suggested the bill “will increase FL homicide and violence crime”.
Gee, this is fun.

The ability of left wing extremists to claim up is down, down is up, water is dry, etc never ends.

Correct. The Constitution, specifically the Second Amendment, recognizes a pre-existing God-given right to do so, and explicitly forbids the government at any level to infringe upon that right.
