You were inferring the right to drive, don't be facetious.
Nope travel. You have the right to travel if you don't agree with a set of municipal laws set in ordinance by the city/residents. That's how it should be tbh.

The point of a republic (representative democracy) isn't to protect minority rights. What planet are you taking Government on?

Ok, im a moron. So could you explain what you mean then such im to stupid to figure it out.

You realize you are arguing with a child right ? Trust me, it will go no where.

Yeah, I do understand that.

Also

snip

Its literally impossible to argue, much less converse, with someone that unconditionally believes their opinions = facts, and are always right. Its literally the same thing as talking to a wall.

If a set of laws doesn't agree with the Constitution/bill of rights, then it is invalid.

Your argument of 2 different things, merging them into one, smooth.

I never said banning gun's all together anywhere. I swear lol. Just "regulations that are close to bans" like the ones in California and San Francisco.

Why are they still in place then? Why are the bans limiting particular ammunition and particular classes of guns still in place?

The fact of the matter is the 2nd amendment is vague and archaic.

the very fact that it is a representative democracy, not a direct democracy, there is little virtue in the actions of masses of men.

broad, and ageless is more like it.

the lack of the conviction to fight it, same reason a lot of injustices remain, unfortunately, we've managed to create a too reasonable/content society with too few willing to stand up for themselves.

Representatives are supposed to represent the interests of their constituents and are voted in by majority.

They're not unconstitutional.

The Constitution ensures your right to keep and bare arms, this ranges from guns to daggers. It does not however encompass all forms of weaponry, despite its phrasing. It would be a naive assumption to consider that a right.

it is to restrict guns to the point of an effective ban.

I wouldn't call it naive to encompass all types of arms as "arms"

His modification changes it a lot, actually.

@Jet: I'm going to have to disagree. I can support your right to own a gun. I can support your right to own ammunition. I can't support your right to have a cannon, a bomb, a military class plane, a military class boat, anti-aircraft weaponry, don't make me continue into the extreme.

The "near ban" I'm referring to is the "good cause" clause in CA which I full support

Quote:
California law[18] provides that the Sheriff of a county or a city Police Chief may issue a license to carry a concealed weapon upon proof that the person applying is of good moral character and that good cause exists for the issuance.[19] While it is generally believed to be extremely difficult to obtain a license to carry a concealed weapon (CCW) in California, the difficulty varies greatly by city and county of residence.[20] In some rural counties, qualified applicants are usually successful in obtaining a license, while some cities and counties, such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, are extremely restrictive in what they perceive to be "good cause".

EDIT: Along with the bans to specific ammo and gun classes.

it's a shame, also one of the reasons I wish there were younger politicians/judges, but I can see the folly of using that method as well.

I find it hilarious that some people would blindly accept anything written on a piece of paper in the 1780s.

It has been amended more than 25 times to adapt to a changing society, what makes you think it can't be changed again? The US would probably not exist today if people had followed the constitution to the letter.

Until the minority gains enough voting clout (population) and support within the majority to gain the support of a majority of representatives.
