Looks like another Einstein wrote an anti gun piece in the Star Ledger.

 

[The 2A], like the Third Amendment, which deals with the quartering of soldiers in houses, it is based on American Revolutionary times and is no longer applicable.

Whoever wrote that is a Jack a**...

Sweet so we can just pick and choose what rights we want to follow then? If that is so I choose to pull the authors right to free speech for being such an idiot.

The Bill of Rights were drafted by men fresh out of the hands of a tyrannical government's rule. So far removed from those events do we forget the impact removing them would have. You think the government is getting out of control now? Watch the list of rights you have as an American Citizen dwindle, and the government capitalize in its removal. Quartering soldiers is dated...sure, but in the absolute worst case scenario for the future of our country, wouldnt you like to maintain the right to keep them from your home if your beliefs brought you against their reason for occupation? The difference between our "dated" constitutional government model and a three headed dictatorship is that wonderfully crafted piece of parchment that guarantees us citizens fundamental freedoms and rights under the ever invasive governmental establishment.

I always read the comments someone progun makes a comment and the guy named banthenra complains about bloated gun nuts being bullies

How can you think the author is wrong when the author thinks a "no shooting" sign will be effective. Signs have long been proven to stop crime. We need more signs. Criminals respect signs.

For some reason nj.com won't let my password work even after reset, but someone should point out to this guy that the first amendment was composed when everyone was christian and the freedom of expression was standing on a soap box or printing hand bills. Clearly we don't need that anymore and it shouldn't apply to Jews, Muslims, Jedi, or internet media as all of these are now far past the original context.

NJ.com did the same to my password, If you strike them with truth and facts you are quickly banned. I had to re-register with a new name and password.

What's the point of arguing anymore with "journalists" like this, none.

THAT My friend is the (in)Famous Bryan Miller of Ceasefire NJ....a scummy little statist of the first order

No, that is a troll passing itself off as bryan miller, with a pic that looks sort of like Miller.

No. We can't, he should.

 

The only rights worth a damn in modern society are "access." Other people giving you free shit against their will. You have a right to "access" shit from other people. And "equality." Like pay equality. Marriage equality. Playing for the Nicks equality - you have a right to play for the Nicks. Socialism.

I think outlook on 3rd Amendment gives us an excellent example of how the views change not just within centuries, but just a mere decade. Case in point: if someone was arguing this kind of position mere 10 years ago, everyone would harshly ask him "why do you hate our troops?".

Everyone would? Like who?

The 3rd amendment is not 'dead', it's there for a reason. About 10 years ago a NG infantry company was moved to Ft. Monmouth to provide security. They didn't stay in people's houses rent free & eat up all their food, rape the dog and kick the wife, they stayed in old barracks or hotels. If anybody in Eatontown or TF been told, you gotta put these guys up for free, they'd say GTFO, and no one would have disagreed with them.

Oh. I guess I got banned, too. I couldn't figure out why my password didn't work.

Banned by the Democratic Party mouthpiece Star-Ledger. Consider it a badge of honor.

I love when people say that the Consitution is a living document that needs to be re-interpreted for modern times. It's too bad that the Framers didn't think to make some provision so that the Constitution could be altered when necessary. Oh wait, they did! They're called amendments. So unless there is a new amendment, things are pretty well spelled out for us. Problem now is that the courts have gotten overly involved, and they feel free to legislate as they desire, with little accountability to the rest of us.
