actually the SC has ruled that there are more than one exception to that clause. You can't own nuclear arms for example or assault rifles at least in some states.
Furthermore the entire right to bear arms is predicated on your position in a state militia.
Read it and weep:
If you are not part of a militia, or might not be a part of a militia, then you have no constitutional right to bear arms.
The Supreme Court ruled in DC v Heller and McDonald v. Chicago that the Second Amendment is an individual right.
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), was a landmark case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects an individual's right to possess a firearm for private use within the home in federal enclaves.
McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. ___ (2010), was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on the issue of gun rights. The Court held that the right of an individual to "keep and bear arms" protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and applies to the states. The decision cleared up the uncertainty left in the wake of District of Columbia v. Heller as to the scope of gun rights in regard to the states.
Yeah yeah, those activist judges.
On this board everybody is a strict constitutionalist.
If the Holy document doesn't say it, it isn't so. And the holy document predicates the right to bear arms on the need for state militias. In black and white.
And even that SC decision didn't rule that the DC gun ban ruling applied beyond federal enclaves i.e. into the states.
And the right bear assault weapons and guns without a carry permit is withheld in most states.
And you can't bear nuclear arms anywhere in the US unless you are an agent of the feds.
And in most states you have to lock your guns in your own house. You can't even buy a gun here without a locking device.
So much for "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.".
criminals will ALWAYS get weapons, no matter WHAT. Only keeping the law abiding people armed can help this situation. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Get it through your head.
People kill people, people with guns kill lots of people.
i think you missed the SARCASMJust because one person misuses his brain, the rest of us our banned from using ours?
No one who is not in Congress can actually think.
You have that backwards don't ya?
What do you suggest needs to be done (if anything) to keep guns out of the hands of those intent in using guns to harm innocents? Keep the image of the nine year old daughter, sister and grandchild killed in this latest horrific slaughter when (if) you reply.
outside of that I think we have gun laws pretty well covered.
What is coming up first is congress leglislating protection for themselves.
This was, of course, predictable. Never waste a tragedy.
I'll reserve judgment until I see what she introduces, but I think any type of gun legislation passing the Republican controlled House is unlikely, even after this.
Personally, I'm more alarmed by Bob Brady's intended legislation.
Such a law is just flat out unconstitutional and opens the door to an unimaginable amount of abuse by the government concerning the political speech of the American people. Again, I sincerely doubt such a law will be able to pass the House.

Not asking me but I will chime in, we need one more gun law ona a national level prohibiting any one who is placed in a mental hospital or care under the Baker Act to not be allowed to posess firearms until his Doctor says he is fit ie mentally stable enough to do so again.
The definition of being forcibly treated under the Baker act is you have to be a threat to yourself and or others for it to happen. So why should you be allowed to posess firearms?
I know for a fact that there is no national nor state law in many states prohibing the mentally unstable form posessing guns.
outside of that I think we have gun laws pretty well covered.

Well fer sure, BECAUSE THEY are so special and ABOVE us Average citizens they NEED more protection and Special laws over us Little PEONS.
Too bad someone in the crowd wasn't armed. I heard that someone did show up right after they had subdued the shooter, but didn't draw his weapon because things were under control. Imagine that, a responsible gun owner.
