May 8, 20232 yr 3 hours ago, Tnt4philly said: Its the overall gun culture of today I’m talking about. The number one gun safety rule my dad taught me as a kid, and I believe was also taught in hunter safety courses, was that there is no such thing as an empty gun and they should always be handled as if they were loaded. I got laughed at when I brought that up on here before. When I corrected kids in the military for poor muzzle awareness or leaning the weapon against tables in the chow hall, I constant heard, "it’s not loaded sarge.” Better safety training may not do much to stop mass shootings would help change the lax gun culture we have today. Thinking that everyone should have unfettered access to a right is a BS answer. What makes you think the right to bear arms is any different than all of our other rights? Enumerated rights are no more or less important than any other right we have. Proper training and thorough background checks should be required before allowing anyone to own a gun. Boo-boo if you have to wait. I realize my gun stance is no longer in line with the LP. I’m not a cult member so I don’t follow any platform 100%. Agree with you on gun safety, but the bolded part is just objectively and legally wrong.

Not all of them wanted enumerate rights because they feared future generations would interpret them as being more important than unenumerated rights. It’s why Madison proposed 9a and this was his argument. "It has been objected also against a bill of rights, that, by enumerating particular exceptions to the grant of power, it would disparage those rights which were not placed in that enumeration; and it might follow by implication, that those rights which were not singled out, were intended to be assigned into the hands of the General Government, and were consequently insecure. This is one of the most plausible arguments I have ever heard against the admission of a bill of rights into this system; but, I conceive, that it may be guarded against. I have attempted it, as gentlemen may see by turning to the last clause of the fourth resolution [which became the Ninth Amendment.” James Madison https://qcp.medium.com/yes-senator-the-founding-fathers-did-indeed-envision-unenumerated-rights-32d0bcedf51f
