Gun Fanatics Express Their Support For a Mass Murderer’s Second Amendment Rights

[etherealtruth]

82. 'Joe's" staements are only correct if one views our enumerated "rights" as absolute

However, we all know that our enumerated rights are far from absolute. Limits and restrictions are put on "our" rights to promote the public good ... and they are placed on almost all of our enumerated rights


Additionally, our rights are "our rights" as interpreted by the courts ... they are ever evolving. Speech is an obvious example (and easily used to exemplify the limits) ... our right to free speech is actually quite limited to protect the common good.

I like the fact that "Joe" spewed his enormous idiocy ... I can observe a slow sea change in the public's response ... folk that have been apolitical or have not developed opinions have been swayed by "Joe" (and his ilk) ... not in the way intended. I am glad Joe did not come out and say something akin to : in the wake of tragedy we must come to a consensus on how to stem gun violence and the slaughter of innocents while doing our best to protect second amendment rights. I am grateful for 'Joe' in the same way I am grateful for the "open carry idiots'" .... they are causing people, that never have thought about it before, to think about guns (and their negative impacts).
