Michael Moore's 28th Amendment

By specifying only National Guard for state forces, Moore ignores two components that fall into the current well-regulated militia category raising serious legal questions about states' right to maintain them. Because the National Guard is dual status and can be federalized many states also maintain an organized state defense force. All states currently provide for an unorganized militia in either their law or their state constitution, or both. Both those other two state militia components are well regulated. They have an existing process for the Governor to appoint officers. There's a legislated code of military justice in order to ensure good order and discipline.

It's an interesting choice if he actually is informed of the nuances of the issue he hopes to address. It certainly would make it harder to get a lot of states to support it. That includes states that he might expect to support it but maintain organized state defense forces. California is one of those states. Moore creates an issue for CA ratifying his gun control related amendment. That doesn't seem like a good move if he wants his amendment to do something other than give him a few more minutes of fame before disappearing.
 
As over 90% of gun violence is committed by men, in order for a man to purchase a gun, he must first get a waiver from his current wife, plus his most recent ex-wife, or any woman with whom he is currently in a relationship (if he’s gay, he must get the waiver from his male spouse/partner). This law has greatly reduced most spousal/domestic gun murders in Canada.

Or a note from your mom...
 
But look at the bodies in these mass shootings and police shootings of unarmed folk. Look at marching nazis flying swastika flags and hooded klansmen burning crosses. Ask yourself:
Is this the world I want for my family?​

LOL....you don't get a choice.

The world is full of assholes, always has been always will be so long as humans inhabit it.

And cat's...because they're assholes too.
 
The only logical question to be weighed when individual items are considered in regards to Amendment II is the specifically intended stipulation it commands:

Does this law infringe on any law-abiding citizens right to keep and bear?

in·fringe
inˈfrinj/
- act so as to limit or undermine (something); encroach on

Unarguably simple, really. And the practical fact is, "gun control" of any flavor = infringement.

Keep in mind: in the framers' sense, every American was TOTALLY "free" to keep and bear, and it's that freedom that shall not be infringed, in regards to "Arms".

free
/frē
- not under the control or in the power of another; able to act or be done as one wishes.

Hate to pop the delusional bubble for everybody, but when a person is regulated concerning any issue, there is no freedom.

America is so far down the infringement road that basically all that's left is full repeal of an Amendment that's already been thoroughly raped.
 
Other nations manage to get by without fully-armed populaces.

We aren't "other nations," we are unique. We have a constitutional right to arm ourselves. Those who don't like it can either run for office on a platform to repeal the Second Amendment and succeed or leave the country for the nearest police state where they believe they will be better off.
 
I'll support an amendment repealing the 2nd as long as it is passed with the verbiage that will make abortions illegal under the constitution.

You want to strip one right away, you have to give one up in return. Fair enough?

In 2014 (apparently the most recent year the numbers are available for) 926,240 abortions were performed in the US.

So, exactly what takes more human life, abortions or guns?

America's two biggest political hot-potatoes could be solved with the introduction of one simple law.... require that all abortions be committed with a handgun!

Men are filthy animals. Women are saints. Or is it vice-versa? I forget now. Oh yeah, men are aggressive and women are passive-aggressive. Men work conspiracies better but women are sneakier. But who are smarter?

"Man Smart (Woman Smarter)"

I say let us put man and a woman together
To find out which one is smarter
Some say man but I say no
The woman got the man de day should know

And not me but the people they say
That de man are leading de women astray
But I say, that the women of today
Smarter than the man in every way
That's right de woman is uh smarter
That's right de woman is uh smarter
That's right de woman is uh smarter, that's right, that's right

Ever since the world began
Woman was always teaching man
And I you listen to my bid attentively
I goin' tell you how she smarter than me

Samson was the strongest man long ago
No one could a beat him, as we all know
Until he clash with Deliah on top of the bed
She told them all the strength was in the hair of his head

You meet a girl at a pretty dance
Thinking that you would stand a chance
Take her home, thinking she's alone
Open de door you find her husband home

I was treating a girl independently
She was making baby for me
When de baby born and I went to see
Eyes was blue it was not by me

Garden of Eden was very nice
Adam never work in Paradise
Eve meet snake, Paradise gone
She make Adam work from that day on

Methusaleh spent all his life in tears
Lived without a woman for 900 years
One day he decided to have some fun
The poor man never lived to see 900 and one
That's right de woman is uh smarter
That's right de woman is uh smarter
That's right de woman is uh smarter, that's right, that's right

All interesting questions.. All i can offer is this, if we are to solve these problems, I ask that Michael Moore not be any part of the solution. Thats what I'm putting in the suggestion box.
 
Because you can't repeal Natural Law. It's the same reason you can't repeal the Law of Gravity.

......

1. I kind of agree with your first two sentences.
2. Didn't Thomas Jefferson say the Earth belongs to the living?
3. I like the pic in your profile: $51 sounds like a good deal. :D




Welcome... EO is a acronym for "Executive Order" as in the president can give a Executive Order.

Ah, thank you.

I'm rather new here too, but willing to help. You'll need to stop at the hardware store and pick up a shovel. You'll be slinging alot of dog shit over your neighbors fence. Expect the same in return. Unless you have no dog in the fight, or simply own cats

DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS is from a clean-roadway anti-litter campaign. Don't toss bottles, beer-cans, and burger wrappers out the window.

Planned Parenthood gives way more money to politicians than the NRA and unlike the NRA who kills nobody, advocates killing nobody, supports prosecutions of killers and gun crimes, and is a civil rights organization, Planned Parenthood actually does kill millions of human beings on a par with Adolf Hitler. I'll give up the second when they outlaw liberalism, Communists, and Planned Parenthood.:D

They should wear flair.

Not even Carly Fiorina thought that.

Planned Parenthood is prohibited by law against funding any political actions. Groups affiliated with Planned Parenthood spend around 7 million a year on political actions.

NRA and affiliated groups spend around 30 million a year on political actions.
 
I attended a city hall meeting like 6 months ago. A monster corporate developer, and they also build all the houses too, wanted to buy 200 acres to build a massive subdivision that would more than double the city's current population. The land they wanted to build on is pretty much a huge retaining pond for 3 other small subdivisions, so the company would need to spend a lot of cash to not violate Servitude Of Drainage laws developing this land.

The only problem, to make developing it cost effective the company asked our city council to change the minimum lot size ordinance from 1/4 acre to 1/8 acre.

The guy speaking for the developers said, "We don't want to change your law, we just want to add on to it." The whole room laughed at him.

Anyways, that's what I thought of when reading Moore's 28th proposal. "I don't want to change the 2A, I just want to add a 28th Amendment."

The 2nd Amendment was ratified to guarantee patriots "the right to keep and bear" POWER to defend the Constitution's mandated form of republican government against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Socialism is the direct enemy to the Constitution's mandated republican form of government.

If that individual POWER to defend the Constitution is repealed, it's total game over for the America the world's known since July 4, 1776.
