Arming; you mean people buying guns?  I don't oppose people 
buying guns.

Apparently that's why you can't understand my non-opposition 
to it.

Which "franchise" are you talking about, slick?

What's "gender confused"?  And exactly how do you say these 
people are disenfranchised?

If you assert the equality of all humans do you also assert 
the equality of all weapons?  If so, that means you'd have to 
destroy all weapons except one kind, and everybody would have 
to use that one.

Which weapon would that be, Cheeser?  A stick?

You haven't had a firm understanding of anything yet, 
Cheeser.

Then you'll have no trouble posting the exact words they used 
to say that, in full context - right dumbass?

Post it right here.

The clause in the constitution of the United States, that it 
is said to be in violation of, is the 2d article of the 
amendments: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the 
security of a free state, the right of the people to keep 
and bear arms shall not be infringed."  O. & W. Dig. 7.  The 
clause in the constitution of this state, which it is said 
to violate, is the 13th section of the bill of rights: 
"Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms, 
in the lawful defense of himself or the state." O. & W. Dig. 
14.

The object of the clause first cited, has reference to the 
perpetuation of free government, and is based on the idea, 
that the people cannot be effectually oppressed and 
enslaved, who are not first disarmed. The clause cited in 
our bill of rights, has the same broad object in relation to 
the government, and in addition thereto, secures a personal 
right to the citizen.  The right of a citizen to bear arms, 
in the lawful defense of himself or the state, is absolute. 
He does not derive it from the state government, but 
directly from the sovereign convention of the people that 
framed the state government.  It is one of the "high powers" 
delegated directly to the citizen, and "is excepted out of 
the general powers of government."  A law cannot be passed 
to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, 
and independent of the law-making power.
