As a resident of Houston, New Orleans can eat shit and has no importance in the energy sector.

Life isn't fair. Get over it. You don't have the right to force others to cater to whatever lifestyle or limitation you may have just because it makes things convenient for you.

Don't like not being catered to? Tough shit. I don't like getting up at 4am so I can go to work and earn a pay cheque, but you don't see me crying to the government and demanding that businesses give things to me for free.

Nevermind that ATMs are pretty much entirely touch screens with the exception of the number pad these days.

What's next? Bitching about radio not being deaf-accessable?

This is why we need to switch to a civil law system, stop relying on invalid precedent, and have all current and former justices hanged as enemies of the Constitution.

If you want my shitty credit and shitty job, be my guest.

The natives were nomads and didn't have a concept of property ownership in the first place. They had no claim to the land regardless.

It was probably a local ordinance or a cop that hates bicyclists.

I've got a copy of my birth certificate in my wallet, as well as my drivers license and social security card. What now?

Caucasians generally don't wander around in the desert with backpacks full of pot.

Well, aside from once a year when they do just that in the desert north of Reno.

Those happened at pretty much exactly the same time. Ask Pancho Villa.

We're not in agreement because as I said before, that isn't what they meant by regulated and the amendment doesn't apply only to people in a formal militia. It's an individual right, just as the 1st Amendment is. The constitution does not allow for any infringement on your right to keep and bear arms.

Allowing them to infringe on your 2nd Amendment rights in any way is as unacceptable as letting them infringe your 1st Amendment rights by creating "free speech zones".

And that's where the well regulated part comes in. You can't just expect the population to own guns and defend themselves and their state without learning to shoot and practicing often.

Considering that the amendment was written and ratified by men who had just created a new country through the act of shooting their enemies, you're an idiot.

In the context of the Second Amendment, a well regulated militia means a militia that is well trained and organized so that it can adequately respond to a threat. It does not mean regulating weapons, and the phrase well regulated has nothing to do with the fact that the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

DC vs Heller pretty much put an end to that bullshit regardless when it reestablished that the 2nd Amendment was an individual right and not a collective right.

The First Amendment doesn't include the text "shall not be infringed." The Second Amendment does.

All gun control is unconstitutional.
