What does tougher gun regulations look like?

So what?

How come the Democrats aren't doing anything about this?

 

From PEW

 

And...?
The enshrinement of constitutional rights - necessarily and intentionally - takes certain policy choices off the table --- regardless of how many people support those policies.

 

The US gov't has no legislative authority to enact any of those measures.

 

I am aware of your opinion since you have repeated it dozens of times on as many threads. I simply posted a study from PEW on what the people think.

 

That's nice. It's not going to overrule the Constitution.

 

Well, it's foolish to think that the US gov't can do something for which it has no constitutional authority.

 

You are not getting the point of the post. It had nothing to do with what the government can, or can't do, it is simply a research about what the people want.

The government already created laws to limit gun ownership from violent criminals, so its not like they can't do it if they want to.

 

They can want unicorns.

But why ask them if they want things that the US gov't is prohibited from doing?

 

To understand the desires of We The People. You have to ask? The government and the Constitution were created by the people and for the people, but how can they serve the people if they don't know what people want?

The government prohibits gun ownership from violent criminals, so they CAN write such laws if they want to. They have the Constitutional mandate to ensure domestic tranquility, and that would be difficult to do if violent criminals had the right to own guns

 

State governments do. I'm talking about the US gov't. Has no power to restrict the use or ownership of firearms by individuals.

 

The constitution was actually established between the states.

 

You are not getting what people post, and you'll just repeat the same thing to no end, so this is a waste of time.

 

Have you read Heller, McDonald, Caetano and Bruen?

 

Domestic tranquility refers to war between the states, not the criminal use of firearms.

 

After Bruen, gun control is pretty much a waste of time.

 

Have you read the post you replied to? Apparently not.

I am not talking about gun control, I am only talking about the study about what people think.

 

"The government prohibits gun ownership from violent criminals, so they CAN write such laws if they want to. They have the Constitutional mandate to ensure domestic tranquility, and that would be difficult to do if violent criminals had the right to own guns".

Isn't this gun control?

 

What the people think has no bearing on what the Constitution says.

 

Yes. And?

Yes. That is the gun control we have had for a long time now. Would you like to change it?

 

The anti-gunners want an all out gun ban. It's that simple.

 

You posted a study on what the people who participated in the study think. They hardly represent "the people".

 

Any regulation at the state and local level is unconstitutional.

 

Show us where the 2nd Amendment says keeping and bearing arms is compulsory.

 

Don't hold your breath
