He finally said it. The stupid fool finally said it. “No amendment in the constitution is absolute” sentence spooked the ever living hell out of me. I can’t believe he said that. They told me Trump was a dictator but then Biden says this?
I didn’t vote for Trump nor did a vote for Biden but I viewed, and still view both as idiots and Biden saying what he said solidified that for me. Does this mean the 1st amendment is on the table for him as well? What about the 5th, 6th, 13th, 15th, 18th, 19th? 21st, 22nd, and 25th?
The moment he guts the 2nd I believe he’ll go after the others. What can we the people do now? What is expected of us?
Interesting take. I’m working on some reviewing SCOTUS decisions and this one hadn’t crossed my desk. Thanks for sharing, I’ll be looking into it further.
You keep saying your legal rights come from the founders. That’s the assertion which isn’t true. They merely codified them and held that the government couldn’t take them away. Those rights existed long before they were written down.
Warnock used his pulpit and perceived authority from it to campaign.
Basing your argument on god when it is not necessary is just ineffective, and will get through to less people
That same god was just used to get an anti-gun senator elected in GA; saying it’s ineffective is equivalent to burying one’s head in the sand and pretending it didn’t happen.

My rights existed before the founders were born. My rights existed before anyone thought of the idea of rights. I share the right to life with all beings on this planet. A lion hunts when it is hungry, but its prey still evolved to fight back.
Rights based on the will of people are not rights at all. Recognizing a right is different than granting a right—something which by definition cannot happen. A right is an inherent trait with which a creature is born, and which they will have their entire existence.
Laws should be designed to punish those who would tread upon the rights of others, not oppress groups of people en masse. The way the constitution is written is to use negative law (e.g.: “congress shall make no law...”) to limit the strength of government, rather than allow people to be granted privileges.
The semantic argument over “god-given,” “natural,” or “inalienable” does not help gun-owners. Understanding the intent behind the phrase and just rolling along with it is the correct decision. I neither hold nor practice a faith, but I will still use “god-given rights” or “bless you” in conversation. It is common language which conveys meaning quickly and clearly. If anything, refusing to see that is a willful misunderstanding and attempt to fracture discussion.
