Mitch McConnell should be ashamed of himself. On Thursday, December 3, one day after the San Bernardino shootings that killed 14 people, McConnell, along with every Senate Republican except Mark Kirk of Illinois, voted against legislation to prevent people on the F.B.I.’s terrorist watch list from purchasing guns or explosives.

You should be ashamed of yourself for apparently not understanding that you have no Constitutional right to board a commercial aircraft, as well as your failure to understand the implications of that fact relative to other Constitutional rights that people do have.
Gobbledy-gook. Your constitution applies to you, not me.![]()
Canadian border guards/customs officers get sick of confiscating weapons gun-mad yanks try to bring into our country.
It is your country's shame that it is the only Western "civilization" that is so lax with gun laws and that has a horrendous record of murder using guns and whose congress refuses to agree to even ATTEMPT to do anything to stop the carnage.
Why do you defend this?

...the architects of this nation saw fit to draft a Constitution that included the RIGHT of every American to own firearms, if that was their choice.
.....The right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second Amendment means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress, and has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the National Government.

Cruikshank has largely been gutted in subsequent rulings.. Try again..
You don't know jack shit about our Constitution, our gun registration laws or what our Congress does or does not "attempt." If your customs officers and border agents get tired of confiscating contraband, then perhaps they should get in another line of work.
Meanwhile, you live in hockey paradise with a great national anthem. Why would you give a fuck what we do as long as we're not shooting YOU?
I don't own a gun. I don't even like guns a little bit. But a little over 200 years ago, the architects of this nation saw fit to draft a Constitution that included the RIGHT of every American to own firearms, if that was their choice.
Far more importantly, that same Constitution included specific provisions for amending itself. Apart from the original 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights, my countrymen, through their elected representatives, have amended the Constitution 17 times.
Not ONE of those 17 amendments has repealed or modified the Second Amendment which guaranteed the right to bear arms.
It is the collective democratic will of the majority of my fellow citizens to amend the Constitution as they have seen fit and to leave other parts of it intact that I DEFEND. This and nothing more or less.
But seeing as how you are obviously an arrogant, myopic little shit who recognizes nothing other than the supremacy of his own beliefs, I have no doubt this, too, will appear to you as nothing more than "gobbledy-gook."
Go fuck a polar bear.
I have a more excellent idea:
Why don't you try actually gutting that inalienable right yourself, lemming?
Isn't it strange how confident you are pressing your case individually on the internet, yet how totally impotent you are irl individually if you actually attempted to deprive another individual of her inalienable right to keep and bear arms, so much so that you must summon the collective to force its mob rule for you...
...why is that, wannabe?
What the fuck are you blathering on about? I was pointing out that Cruikshank is a poor example and has largely been gutted in regard to 2A cases. Now you want to try again or has the chemical fog addled your brain?
