@@patrickherron502 If constant vigilance of the parking areas is working, then it only proves one thing. That the efforts of gun controllers against the law abiding is doing exactly the opposite of what they claim they're trying to do. Reduce gun violence. Guns get stolen because of their goofy laws by forcing the law abiding to leave their guns in their car. Now some criminal has got a gun and the law abiding is disarmed and has to spend even more money and jump through more hoops to replace what the gun controllers have put on the streets.

@crabjoe The real reason how so many guns got stolen out of vehicles was .....PLAIN....CARELESS to many people leaving there weapons in there vehicles at night parked while in DRIVEWAY! And guest just who happens to come around that certain nice neighborhood middle of the night ....wandering TEENS, THUGS, DRUNKS, DRUGGIES. The point few of CITIZEN'S need to be more deeply RESPONSIBLE would help GREATLY (But you know there doing it for the insurance). However the flip side to really prevent stealing out of vehicles in a non-watched security parking lot area would be assigned building area were you can lock your weapon in a stall locker take the key go inside the building do your business then return pick it back up would be nice future opportunity. But never use brief case always have gun case mounts installed in your vehicle with two gun cases (fingers print lock mounted one in trunk other up front under or next driver side leg).

The second amendment LITERALLY states "well regulated." It's in the language of the amendment.

​​@@jonahkaun891:There are ttwo clauses in the 2nd Amendment. The prefectory clause and the operational clause. The first states the need for the Amendment and right. The second clause states the actual law to be followed. You really need to read the Heller and Bruen decisions.. the prefectory clause does NOT hamstring the operational clause. "The Second Amendment is naturally divided into two parts: its prefatory clause and its operative clause. The former does not limit the latter grammatically, but rather announces a purpose. . . . [A]part from [a] clarifying function, a prefatory clause does not limit or expand the scope of the operative clause. . . . The first salient feature of the operative clause is that it codifies a “right of the people.” . . . [This] unambiguously refer[s] to individual rights, not “collective” rights, or rights that may be exercised only through participation in some corporate body. . . . This contrasts markedly with the phrase “the militia” in the prefatory clause. As we will describe below, the “militia” in colonial America consisted of a subset of “the people”-those who were male, able bodied, and within a certain age range. . . ."-DC V Heller, 2008

@justabill5780 stated another way: because we need a subset of people to keep the state safe, every citizen has the right to unregulated access to any firearm. Quite the ruling, though it was well articulated. Funny that it took about 200 years to give this interpretation of the amendment.

@@jonahkaun891 : It took 200 years to have that decision because the government didn't begin infringing on the 2nd Amendment until the mid 20th century.

Go ahead and actually quote me the Second cond Amendment.

"well regulated" seems to imply "training," eh? I can use quotes, too.

@@jonahkaun891 disregard what I had posted previously. I did actually reread what you posted and realized you were arguing against OP mis-quoting the Constitution.

@@jonahkaun891 well regulated applies to the training needed for an effective militia, so you're correct in that. However, you fail to recognize what follows. "...the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed". The militia clause "A well regulated militia, being necessary to a free state..." is stating the obvious necessity, that there be a counter balance to forces directed by central government. States need well trained militias. Our system, as designed, was to give first, the power to the PEOPLE, second to the states, last and least, to the federal central govt. It's not complicated, read the constitution, federalist papers, state constitutions and those the founders cited in the documents creation. Understand "natural rights", the terms "inalienable" and "granted by the Creator" for context.

@MartyBugg I suggest you re read Article 1 (it's in a later section) and Article 2 (an earlier section) to reacquaint yourself with how the Constitution talks about, and describes the regulation of, the militia. At no point does the document suggest that the militias "counter balance" federal forces. The PEOPLE elect the representatives who enact the laws. THAT is where our power comes from: not the threat of armed insurrection (and a number of processes to remove corrupt officials and overturn laws and even change the Constitution). Oh, speaking of which, Article 1 specifically states that one intent of the militia is to put down insurrection. Kind-of funny . . .

@thorsmith59 it's almost as though the Articles of Confederation hadn't allowed the federal government to field a national army and the second amendment was a gaurantee/appeasement to the anti Federalists that states still had the right to field their own military regiments (ie militias or what we current refer to as National Gaurd).

@@jonahkaun891 You couldn't be more wrong about the National Guard. The Militia is made up of the people and the National Guard is not a replacement for the Militia! The National Guard was first created from the Massachusetts militia but it was established as a permanent organization, whereas the Militia is not a permanent organization but as I said is made up of the people, wherein the powers of the Government are enshrined.

@thorsmith59 so, are you saying that the National Guard is not controlled by the individual state? That traditional militias weren't controlled (ie called to assemble and regulated) by the individual state? That "the people" doesn't apply to the VOLUNTEERS of the current National Guard?

Which State(s) allows Felons to get their gun rights back? Name me one State that has figured out how to bypass a 4473 background check on a gun purchase. 4473 is Federal, every buyer is required to fill out a 4473 for the FFL. Once your mark you are a Felon, the FFL is required to not sell a gun to you. That's even before a background check is processed. When they actually run the background check, it's going to comeback DENIED. FFL's can't sell when there's a denial from the Feds.

Still, Baltimore has more crime than places like Chicago. I think only DC beats Baltimore in violent crime. Here's the issue, and it's not more gun control. The issue is criminals do NOT follow rules. That's why they're criminals. No law, even new laws can force them to follow laws, old or new. Like you, these criminals love more gun regulation because it disarms The People and allows them to create more victims. What we need to is the repeal of all these bogus gun regulations that only cause a delay in allowing the law abiding from being able to protect themselves and their loved ones. We need the state to offer free gun safety courses on a regular bases though out the State, especially if a class is going to be required to exercise a Right that's in the Bill of Rights! What we need is Constitutional Carry like in more than 1/2 the States. What need is LESS gun regulations on the law abiding.

How about raise your male children to be law abiding citizens instead of corner boys, jack boys, run up in your house boys, circle the block boys, and "burner boys". It's not the gun. It's the hoodlums, thugs, goons, etc that use these guns to break the law.
