And any state which makes it legally impossible for someone to exercise their right constitutionally protected to carry a gun infringes on that right, and thus, violates the constitution.
Like...oh... CA NY and HI.

And Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Illinois.

 

[sealybobo]

You can 'say' anything you want with the zero authority you have as a US citizen.

Well right wing judges disagree with left wing judges on what is and isn't constitutional.

Do you know Trump many times did or said he wanted to do things that were unconstitutional? You're a cherry picker when it comes to both documents

I'm feeling pretty powerful with my vote in my swing state.

 

[M14 Shooter]

And Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Illinois.

Illinois will allow out-of state people to carry a gun, without a permit, so long as they do not leave their car.
Illinois will also recognize some out-of-state carry permits.
I do not know about MA and RI.

CA NY and HI will not allow you to legally carry a gun if you do not live in those states.

 

[Couchpotato]

Guns kill people
Guns are bad

Don’t need any better argument than that

Cars kill more people than guns,
Knives kill more people than guns
Obesity kills more people than guns
lack of daily exercise kills more people than guns


Where's the laws against these things?

 

[rightwinger]

Cars kill more people than guns,
Knives kill more people than guns
Obesity kills more people than guns
lack of daily exercise kills more people than guns


Where's the laws against these things?

We have many, many laws on cars
More than guns
Guns are our major cause of both homicide and suicide

Obesity kills you over decades, guns kill you in a fraction of a second

 

[Couchpotato]

We have many, many laws on cars

Any 16 y/o can with a minimal amount of training get a license and wreak havoc all over the road.

More than guns
Guns are our major cause of both homicide and suicide

Guns dont cause suicide moron.

Obesity kills you over decades, guns kill you in a fraction of a second

And yet the number of people who die of obesity is exponentially more than those who die from guns.

CA NY and HI will not allow you to legally carry a gun if you do not live in those states.

In Mass and RI it takes months to get a CCW permit.

No clue how your point is apropos to what I wrote.

Great. Get Kamala elected and turn the House and Senate (60 seats) Blue and you can overrule the SCOTUS decision on Roe v Wade.

If Trump wins the state, it will age like milk. If Trump loses, it will age like fine wine.
I cannot predict the future, unlike this guy:

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Explain this to me like I am 5 years old​

OK, let me explain this like I would to a 5 year old

Guns kill people
We do not want bad men to have guns
We want people carrying guns to know how and when to use them
We don’t want people shot by accident

Well prepare for about 500 strawmen to get propped up by the right wingers, as they ignore everything you said.

 

[AZrailwhale]

I don't care! There is no reason for a civilian to own one.

There is no reason for you to own a computer, or anything else that can access the web either since you have repeatedly shown that you are incapable of research and rational thought.

 

[AZrailwhale]

The US has 50 States
States can make rules about guns
Guns kill people
We don’t want bad men to have guns

Then enforce the laws banning bad men, NOT THE TOOLS THEY SOMETIMES USE.

 

[rightwinger]

Guns kill people
Bad men with guns will kill many people
We don’t want bad men to get guns

 

[AZrailwhale]

Guns kill people
Bad men with guns will kill many people
We don’t want bad men to get guns

Than put the bad people in prison for their crimes instead of leaving them free to commit more. It’s simple, no violent criminals, no violent crime.

 

[Mack The Finger]

I support gun carry permits to assure you are not a criminal, have been trained and know the responsibilities of carrying a gun in public.
I also think states should have common standards and recognize a carry permit like they would a drivers license

I am getting a permit and my state does not require one.

That way if I hand it to a LEO he know I trained to handle it and not a thug.

 

[Foxfyre]

The SCOTUS stated, unequivocally, that we Americans have the right to carry a gun outside the home:
The Court has little difficulty concluding also that the plain text of the Second Amendment protects Koch’s and Nash’s proposed course of conduct—carrying handguns publicly for self-defense. Nothing in the Second Amendment’s text draws a home/public distinction with respect to the right to keep and bear arms, and the definition of “bear” naturally encompasses public carry. Moreover, the Second Amendment guarantees an “individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation,” id., at 592, and confrontation can surely take place outside the home.

Some states require a permit to carry a gun outside the home; most do not.
Most of the states which require a permit recognize the permits from other states as sufficient to legally carry a gun in that state.

A few states – CA, NY, HI – do NOT recognize out-of-state permits.
They do not allow open carry without a permit
They do not allow out-of-state residents to obtain a carry permit.
That is, there is no way for me, a resident oh Ohio, to legally carry a gun in CA NY HI.

How can it be that CA NY HI do not violate my right to carry a gun – and thus, violate the 2nd Amendment?

The Second Amendment was intended to mean that the FEDERAL government would not restrict the citizen's right to be armed. At the time they were ratified, none of the Constitutional amendments were intended to apply to the various states but only to the federal government.

That is why here and there little theocracies were allowed to exist until the citizens themselves dissolved them and no new ones were created. It is why a community can pass ordinances against carrying a gun into a bar or courthouse or school without violating the second amendment. That's why a community can establish an ordinance against public nudity or other lewd behavior or excessive profanity or public drunkenness.

The Founder restricted the central government from interfering with the rights of the citizens to form themselves into whatever sorts of societies they wished to have and govern themselves according to their values, principles and consciences. And in most places the social contract established by the people to do just that served them very well after some bumps in the road and mistakes were corrected.

Government of, by and for the people. The USA was the first, and to date the only nation in the history of humankind on Earth in which the people would have their unalienable rights secured and would govern themselves.

Of course over the years the federal government has take much of that from the people to our detriment.
