Iām not āarguingā anything, āsemanticsā or otherwise.As far as concealed carry permits being lawful or rather constitutional you're arguing semantics because once SCOTUS makes a ruling then we're stuck with that ruling for the most part - it doesn't mean it was correct.
Iāve simply pointed out the fact that laws requiring a permit to carry a concealed weapon are perfectly Constitutional.
Iāve also simply pointed out the fact that the OP is wrong, concealed carry permits do not āinfringeā on the Second Amendment right and that the notion of āconstitutional carryā is political theater and rightwing nonsense ā requiring a permit to carry a concealed firearm is likewise āconstitutional carry.ā
You stated you agree with the OPās premise, rendering you as wrong as the OP.
Your disagreement is with the Supreme Court, not me ā thatās just a kill the messenger fallacy.
The 2nd amendment only restricts the federal government, so leaves things like concealed carry state or municipal legislation unanswered.
But the SCOTUS has often been wrong, such as the Dred Scott Decision, Prohibition, 3 strikes mandates, the War on Drugs, etc.
And obviously any and all federal firearms laws are totally and completely illegal.
The fact government is always corrupt and we have to put up with constant violations by government, such as the illegal war in Vietnam, lying about Iraqi WMD, etc., should prove to anyone that we all need to remain armed, because it is a matter of time before the government becomes so abusive it will be no longer tolerable.
