Good.

Uh-huh

Like it or not, the second amendment is a constitutional right.

And where does it say that one has the right to open carry?

The article specifies suspension of both open and concealed carry.

And? I wasn’t asking about concealed carry.

No one one's guns are being taken away, doofus.

If you can’t concealed carry and you can’t open carry, where’s the right to bear arms?

The same place where the founders intended it - the right to have private weapons in your home so you could be called upon to serve in the militia. Bearing arms means to possess weapons, not to carry them where ever you wish. It didn't mean take your musket to the State Hall. Indeed, they put down several rebellions of the people.

Madison himself authored legislation that would ban carrying weapons off your own property unless you were called up for service in the militia as a young represenatative in Virginia. There's a reason that the first part of the 2nd amendment talks about militia, before the right to bear arms.

And of course, the concept of the militia in an era of an $850 billion military is irrelevant. The Founders would be appalled at our military and be terrified it would be used against the population. Ironic then that it was one of the last bulwarks against yet another populous uprising by many self proclaimed militia that was completely against the concept of democracy because it had been manipulated by con artists.

The real world eats dogma for lunch.

I can understand why some people would feel the NM governor overstepped, but as Reagan's Chief Justice Warren Burger said the Second Amendment "has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud – I repeat the word ‘fraud’ – on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.”

Because I always get confused as to where geographically Tombstone is, I always have to google shit for idiots.

More from the governor.

She doesn't think her oath is absolute. This is the arrogance of the left, they think that because they won the midterms that they are emboldened to do whatever they want, constitution be damned. Okay fuckers, keep pushing too far, please.

Your point?

Didn’t I tell you to fuck off? I’m in too good a mood to deal with you today.

Yeah...

Back when I watched Gunsmoke, all visitors were required to check in their fire arms to Marshall Dillon and got them back when they left town. Thats how law and order were kept in the old west.

right after the regulation of how, when, where, and why?

Ummm, if you want to be technical, the second amendment does not apply to the executive branch. It specifically says in the first word congress. She is not a part of state or federal congress. It is specifically an executive action.

This just seems to prove that @Steal Your Face is not only not a historian, not capable of understanding clear written english, but also is too stupid to make sammiches.

you're really infatuated with this phrase, it seems.

third time I've seen you use it in the last day or so.

It's kinda ironic when it's coming from an oligarch fanboi like yourself to accuse anyone of "arrogance".

Turning a mob into a paramilitary is always good, and their victims always deserve it.
Only disarming that mob is bad.
Cuz NRA says.

Once again for the slow among us, I didn’t vote for Trump.

Stop.

you would have if you were old enough.

I never said Trump.

What do you think the outcome of Libertarian economic policies would be?

There's absolutely nothing you can do to stop mass shootings that'll make gun nuts go "y'know? That's a good compromise! ".
So fuck 'em, let 'em cry.
I've had enough.

Yeah, and it was based on reality. The real Gunfight at the OK Corral started because the Earps told the Clantons they had to surrender their guns if they were in town.

Bat Masterson's older brother Ed was killed trying to disarm a cowboy as a sheriff in Dodge City.

Wild Bill Hickok disarmed John Wesley Hardin, perhaps the most notorious killer of the old west, in Abilene. Hickok did not know that Hardin was a wanted outlaw and was going by an assumed name. But he enforced the general ordinance against handguns (and Hickok was there because the previous sheriff had been killed) and Hardin complied. Hardin famously smuggled in another weapon in a later trip to Abilene and shot a man through the wall for snoring too loud. Hickok gave pursuit but Hardin got away.

Sure there is. You just ignore anything that doesn't entail sanctimonious finger-wagging.

Don’t forget about Buford “Mad Dog” Tanner.

Protip: Sanctimonious chest thumping is the same thing. Changing the gesture doesn't change the intent. Tarzan.

I'll be sure to watch out for that, when and if it ever happens.

And no, "I go to work, pay my bills and occasionally exercise" is NOT some crazy macho flex for a functioning adult.
