Some days I can't help but feel sorry for danielpalos. He works hard for relevance, but his ramblings don't make sense. It does get tiresome to humor him and make him feel important.
This isn't rocket science. He babbles on about how "right wingers" have confused the issues of natural rights and the militia. What an idiot! He's either dumber than a box of rocks or an outright liar, but I'd spit in his face if he ever talked to me in person the way he talks to me on this board.
I keep saying it and danielpalos cannot understand this:
1) You have an absolute, unalienable, God given, inherent, natural RIGHT to keep and bear Arms. That Right is not dependent upon the Constitution NOR service in a militia
2) danielpalos is the ONLY person conflating the issue of militia and natural, inherent, God given, absolute, unalienable Rights (the courts have ruled those words to be synonymous
3) While the citizenry comprises the militia, federal law breaks the militia down into two groups: unorganized and organized. If you are in the unorganized militia, you are not a member of the Armed Forces, National Guard, or any government run militia. You still have your natural, inherent, God given, unalienable, absolute Rights intact
4) The militia is a separate issue from the Right to keep and bear Arms.
natural rights are covered in State Constitutions and available via Due Process.
Absolutely
WRONG. Here is how the courts have interpreted those Rights:
“
The absolute rights of individuals may be resolved into the right of personal security, the right of personal liberty, and the right to acquire and enjoy property. These rights are declared to be natural, inherent, and unalienable.” Atchison & N. R. Co. v. Baty, 6 Neb. 37, 40, 29 Am. Rep. 356 (1877)
By the "absolute rights" of individuals is meant those which are so in their primary and strictest sense, such as would belong to their persons merely in a state of nature, and which every man is entitled to enjoy, whether out of society or in it. The rights of personal security, of personal liberty, and private property do not depend upon the Constitution for their existence. They existed before the Constitution was made, or the government was organized. These are what are termed the "absolute rights" of individuals, which belong to them independently of all government, and which all governments which derive their power from the consent of the governed were instituted to protect.” People v. Berberrich (N. Y.) 20 Barb. 224, 229; McCartee v. Orphan Asylum Soc. (N. Y.) 9 Cow. 437, 511, 513, 18 Am. Dec. 516; People v. Toynbee (N. Y.) 2 Parker, Cr. R. 329, 369, 370 (quoting 1 Bl. Comm. 123)
Do you, danielpalos, as an individual believe that you have a Right to keep and bear Arms? A simple yes or no is all I ask.
