"Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms"
In re Scalia's long and exhausting opinion in Heller.
Yeah?
So?
So whenever gun control is brought up, your final response is, "shall not infringe". Was Scalia pro gun control, a liar or telling the truth that felons and the mentally ill should be denied the privilege of possessing arms?
Let me dumb this down for you...
These people do not have the right to keep and bear arms, having it removed thorough due process.
Thus, banning their possession and use of firearms does not violate the 2nd.
So...?
Clearly, the only way to determine if someone is mentally ill or a felon, is to investigate their background.
Clearly.
Again: So?

And,

The 2nd A.:
“A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” NO WHERE IN THIS SENTENCE IS THE PHRASE,
"These people do not have the right to keep and bear arms, having it removed thorough due process.
Thus, banning their possession and use of firearms does not violate the 2nd."
So, I'm not a dumbass, and my comment you use in your signature line is accurate, i.e. your personal attack on me: "Let me dumb this down for you..." is your safe harbor. Why not be honest for once in your life and admit that gun control can or cannot be an infringement, depending on circumstances.
Due process, which you admit is legal way in which someone has been found to be mentally ill and/or a felon, is a finding which can only be decided by an investigation. Thus, Background Checks may not be sufficient but are necessary to determine who can possess a weapon/arm.
Try to spin your way out of that.
