Who here supports banning ALL semi automatic guns?

Rich2018 said:
Of course rape is ILLEGAL

But it's not prohibited by the Constitution, which utterly refutes your ridiculous claim that:



Also can a citizen who's a Muslim perform an "honor killing" on an unmarried daughter whose pregnancy brings shame on his house

A great many things are not prohibited by your Constitution
A Muslim may take many wives in his religion, the Constitution doesn't prohibit this, so is polygamy allowed in the USA ???




A state cannot pass a law that violates any part of the Constitution, including the first and second amendments

Do you really doubt this ?
Do you really need examples of the Supreme Court striking down state laws because they were "unconstitutional" ?

You really don't have a clue do you ?




So why are rape, honor killings and polygamy illegal ?

The government could make gun ownership illegal were it not for the 2nd amendment




No lives are "ended" by abortion

About 40,000 lives are ended by guns each year in the USA (and yes, I know that includes suicides)





On the assumption that this is a serious question, abortion doesn't "end" any lives

Something isn't alive if it can't think, the difference between an animal and a plant

So being "alive" can't occur until the brain it formed in the fetus.
ie: a newly fertilized egg might be said to constitute "life" but cannot be said to be "alive".

The constitution is not the full body of Law in the US. The Constitution is the instrument by which the Federal Government is defined and limited.

The body of law comprising precedent is actually much more binding on the actions of people. The Constitution is what it is. It is not what you think it is.

Murder is a crime. It is illegal in every state that I'm aware of and is a Federal Crime in many cases. Religious motivation may change the degree. I don't know.

Do you know what the Supremacy Clause is?

When a baby is not yet born and that baby is killed AGINST THE WISHES of the mother, that is considered to be murder. Your definition of life is thereby destroyed.

As far as I know, nobody has been successfully prosecuted for murder or even cruelty when killing a plant.

Irrelevant = It has nothing to do with the discussion

Ignorant = It is a blanket claim that does not even begin to address the variables present in situations.

In other words... The average danielpalos post.

You asked why your post was both irrelevant and ignorant.

I answered.

Rather than support your claim you blither about "right wing".

It is you that is wrong simply because you are wrong.

lol. It takes valid arguments not implied gossip, implied hearsay, and implied soothsay from right wingers. I already know I am Right, even though I am on the left.

Have you anything with which to rebut post #231?

You are Wrong even though you are on the right. You have no argument to rebute only your currently unsubstantiated opinion that you have failed to substantiate with valid arguments.

Of course not!

Don't ratified treaties also limit the US government ?
So you're wrong again

Ultimately it is what the Supreme Court interprets it to say (unless an amendment is ratified)

Murder is a crime, but the point is that murder and rape (honor killings like what just happened in Pakistan are not prohibited by the Constitution, but by lesser laws:

Woman, 24, stoned to death in Pakistan 'honour killing' | Daily Mail Online


Polygamy is not prevented by the Constitution, indeed the bit promising religious freedom might seem to allow it, yet banned it is by lesser law
How do you explain that ?

That issue is waiting to be resolved as that law might violate the 14th amendment and the famous Roe Vs Wade ruling:


"The Unborn Victims of Violence Act was strongly opposed by most pro-choice organizations, on grounds that the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision said that the human fetus is not a "person" under the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, and that if the fetus were a Fourteenth Amendment "person," then they would have a constitutional right to life...."

Because a plant, while being a form of life, is not "alive"

Much like a newly formed fetus

How many abortionists have been charged with murder as far as you know ?
