Breyer: Consider too that countless gun regulations of many shapes and sizes are in place in every State and in many local communities.
Me: The beauty of MacDonald is that it is a sort of Constitutional Preemption. There are three bright lines. That is all that can be regulated, so this ruling is good, in that citizens do not have to worry about thousands of local, state and federal regulations, just three bright lines.
Breyer: Does the right to possess weapons for self-defense extend outside the home?
Me: YES
Breyer:To the car?
Me: YES
Breyer: To work?
Me: YES
Breyer: What sort of guns are necessary for self-defense?
Me: Loaded Guns or rifles with fixed bayonettes.
Breyer: Handguns?
Me: YES
Breyer Rifles?
Me: YES
Breyer: Semiautomatic weapons?
Me: YES
Breyer:When is a gun semi-automatic?
Me: Doesn’t matter all guns, including automatic are legal.
Breyer: Where are different kinds of weapons likely needed?
Me: We are talking about fundamental rights, need is irrelevant.
Breyer: Does time-of-day matter?
Me: NO
Breyer: Does the presence of a child in the house matter?
Me: YES it matters that I have a useable firearm to defend my child, but as a matter of law, no it does not matter.
Breyer: Does the presence of a convicted felon in the house matter?
Me: YES I have the right to self defence against said criminal.
Breyer: Do police need special rules permitting pat downs designed to find guns?
Me: Why would you need special rules to “find guns”. Guns are legal. Gun owners have 4th A rights which must not be violated.
Breyer: When do registration requirements become severe to the point that they amount to an unconstitutional ban?
Me: At the point of infringement; i,e; when the government requires registration. PS registration with a fee is double infringement, we don’t pay to have rights.
Breyer: Who can possess guns and of what kind?
Me: Anybody, any kind.
Breyer: Aliens?
Me: Of course. These rights are preexisting rights of man, including the core right – the right of self defense. They exist whether or not the Constitution exists. Therefore they are the right of all humankind, which includes aliens.
Breyer: Prior drug offenders?
Me: Of Course. Why would you want to take away the Civil rights of caffeine addicts?
Breyer: Prior alcohol abusers?
Me: Pretty wide swath you cut there. What other civil rights might you consider taking from citizens that have been to a bar and had one too many?
Breyer: How would the right interact with a state or local government’s ability to take special measures during, say, national security emergencies?
Me: What an asinine question. The fundamental right trumps local, state and federal ability to take special measures including special measures against the constitution and the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment was designed to ensure that the people retained the tools to resist such tyrannical “special measures.” I mean really Judge, you just don’t get it!
Breyer: As the questions suggest, state and local gun regulation can become highly complex, and these “are only a few uncertainties that quickly come to mind.”
Me:I agree. That is why MacDonald’s 3 bright lines are good for America. It keeps it simple.
