Carry vs consfication

I suppose it all depends, if the family held a reunion in a no gun zone I would still go, I visit museums where guns are not allowed.
I certainly would not join a Church if I did not agree with their philosophy and would resign if I felt that their teaching started to drift.
A groups views on self-defense certainly IMO should be an important part of the join or resign decision.
I had to join the AARP in order to get the Medicare Insurance Supplement that I wanted, but allowed my membership to elapse, because once in you have the insurance you can only be dropped for non-payment.
I live in a development which does not allow the discharge of firearms (noise nuisance)

I retired to Florida because of the gun laws here, well the weather played a part. I would not live in Chicago or Morton Grove, in fact not willingly visit.

In my opinion most groups and organizations should keep their nose out of this argument because it is not relevant to their mission.
 
...however there is no reason to support ongoing "reasonable restrictions" by the government.
Of course there is. You can call it reasonable restrictions, laws, statutes, regulations, ordinances, whatever but that's what governments do. In America if you don't like a "restriction" you can work to get somebody elected to change the it, challenge it in court or move. Those are your choices. Well, there is one other way but that lands you in jail.:eek: That's just the way a society like ours, which is governed by law, operates.

I will agree that the current nanny state mentality has gone too far, especially as seen in places like CA, MA or NJ. And they've gone too far in more areas than the RKBA which I won't get into because that gets political. However, jumping up and down and screaming about the Constitution, the Bill of Rights or whatever accomplishes nothing.

I went to law school too (considered by many to be one of the top 3 in the country). They taught all kinds of crazy things, especially in my Con Law class. My con law prof was basically Reverend Wright with a J.D.
I did a year of law school in the '80s. My contracts professor was Ted Kaczynski with a J.D. He PRAISED the Middle Ages because "everybody knew his place in society". I guess dead in your grave of disease at 30 is a "place".
 
Let's talk about the mentally ill. I am mentally ill. Chances are you are too.

So, should we both be deprived of our 2nd amendment rights?

I voted one way. The other way one the last election. Obviously, it would be simple to say, "This person is mentally ill. They should not be allowed to own a fire arm".

Or, to put it another way, they should not be allowed to vote.
