The 2nd Amendment is a civil right.

It's pretty hard to claim to be pro-2A, while being anti-NRA and voting for anti-2A politicians.

You’re confused;


Civil Rights

Civil rights concern the basic right to be free from unequal treatment based on certain protected characteristics (race, gender, disability, etc.) in settings such as employment, education, housing, and access to public facilities. A civil rights violation occurs in designated situations where an individual is discriminated against on the basis of a protected characteristic. Most civil rights laws are established through the federal government via federal legislation or case law.- from the link

Thought you were both a legal and Constitutional scholar.

I never said I was “pro” 2A and you have no idea who I vote for.

Are amendments 1-10 called the Bill of Rights or the Bill of Liberties?

Nice try at hair splitting. Be careful you don't cut yourself.

what is really pathetic is that people who are not members-who don't give the NRA money, and whose ulterior motives are based on a hatred of gun rights, act as if their opinions about this group has any relevance whatsoever.

Wrong. The Constitution gives you the right to own a firearm.

You are incorrect. The constitution never gave the federal government the power to prevent us from owning guns. What the COURTS did is to apply that to the State Governments.

Just about anyone who votes for-or favors politicians who are hostile to gun rights, is (even if they themselves are not anti gun)

Actually the NRA is too willing to compromise with gun banners. One has to be pretty far left to use the term Right Wing Extremist with the NRA

Edit to add : I don't support letting nutters build an arsenal.

Define arsenal

Define "nutter" in legal terms that can be codified into law.

BTW you apparently don't understand this fact

If the government cannot prevent you from buying or owning one gun, it doesn't suddenly get the power to prevent you from owning or buying ANOTHER gun. That is how a negative restriction works.
 
Wayne has got to go and that is one of the reasons why Im shifting more towards the GOA (Gun Owners of America).
