The State of the Democratic Party II

[Telconi]

Yes actually he is.

I admit lack of knowledge of militias but how exactly to they regulate them?

We have regulations. that enforce behavior, protocol, authority structure, equipment systems, ethics, etc. And procedures to enforce said regulations.

[Washington Resistance Army]

The idea of needing to be in a militia to exercise the right to bear arms is a modern invention that arose in 1939.

Except its explicitly in the original language of the United States Constitution:

"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."

This is literally the exact text emphasis mine.

Words had different meaning in 1776. That doesn't refer to government regulation.

Is that for yourselves and or for the state?

Purpose and function are seperate. Just like how your right to a lawyer is to prevent unfair criminal proceedings, but you can retain a lawyer even outside of such a criminal proceeding.

I never said government regulated did I?

For ourselves, they're self determined and self enforced

I thought that's where you were going with it.

Either way as per Heller the Court has decided you don't need to be in a militia to exercise the right. Even if they did say otherwise it would mean nothing because the militia is supposed to be everyone.

Ok. Thanks.

I'm surprised that more people haven't voted for Cory Booker in the poll. I have this feeling in my gut that he'll run for the nomination. He's pretty good on social issues but has lots of connections to big tech companies so maybe that'll be something that the more left-leaning wing will hold against him.

[Valrifell]

See, this is just an absurd concept to me because basing an opinion on memes is less than stupid.

It's literally brainless.

Much of the public is brainless.

What's your point?

Not that brainless.

[Petrasylvania]

Hmmm The gun stroker argument of if the Jews had guns?

Well, the Nazis did outlaw guns for Jews.

Let's play a basic thought experiment. Which populace is easier to control? One that is armed or one that isn't armed?

But didn't ban them for German citizens, funny that. Unless you're declaring gun owners The New Jews.

I voted for him. If anyone were to beat Trump, I'd be least upset if it were Booker.

[Crockerland]

You in a well regulated militia?

Yes, also not relevant.

yeah ikm basically a genius law expert with all the CNN i watch adn basically because the words "well regulated militia" are in the second amendment that means that, even though in the 1700s it was completely legal to own a private warship and many of the original founding state documents explicitly protected the rights of people to own guns for home defense and hunting, the constitution only says you can own a gun if you're in a well-regulated militia, just like how since the first amendment talks about religion free speech is only protected if its religious

I voted Booker

[Thermodolia]

Hey guys the Gun Control thread is that way, it’s not here.

[Jordkloden]

I voted Booker

There's something about him that, to me, screams good leadership. Not sure why.

I voted Booker

Yep, voted for him as well, seems like an alright guy, compared to other people on the poll at least.

Yeah, it's getting tangential in here.

[Jordkloden]

Although I feel like Biden won't wanna run, I voted for him anyway. (Also voted for Kamala who I hope runs) The others I just don't know much about or I think they just wouldn't be a good president.

Well we agree on two of the three. I like Biden and Booker but I think Kamala Harris would lose big time.

You are right, I was being pretty optimistic with that one. I like her, but realize she probably wouldn't be the one. How do you feel about Kirsten Gilibrand?

[Corrian]

I think Kamala should spend more time in the Senate, anyway. You know...MAYBE finish at least one term.

I honestly don’t know much about Gilibrand. I would love for Gabbard to run though

[Washington Resistance Army]

Gabbard would be alright imo.

[Thermodolia]

Gabbard would be alright imo.

Gabbard/Brown or Biden/Gabbard. That’s who I’d want to see run.
