Constitutional rights are always balanced through the prism of “reasonableness.”

Mass shootings tend to change viewpoints and jurisprudence re what are “reasonable” government limits to the Second Amendment.

The Supreme Court does not cling to the political dialogue, but they do pay attention to the world we live in.

The American Dream belongs to all of us. — Kamala Harris

- Surely you wouldn't use the limit on shouting fire in a theater to limit political speech? NedoftheHill 8:21pm · 8/11/19
  - Are you seriously equating mass shootings via high capacity firearms with political speech? conorlarkin 8:27pm · 8/11/19
    - Actually, that is what your side does: equate speech with violence. I'm not doing that. NedoftheHill 9:32pm · 8/11/19
      - The US Supreme Court decides the boundaries of constitutional rights. conorlarkin 9:50pm · 8/11/19
        
        You miss my point. Intentionally I assume. But, you understand it, since you stopped arguing yours.NT NedoftheHill 10:48pm · 8/11/19
        
        My point is backed by Supreme Court case law. Your point is lost on even yourself.NT conorlarkin 5:24am · 8/12/19
        
        Your new point? I wasn't arguing that.NT NedoftheHill 11:39am · 8/12/19
        
        My belief is the SCOTUS should interpret our laws, not rewrite them. That was how it was set up. BaronVonZemo 6:24am · 8/12/19
        
        Are you aware that the Supreme Court’s primary role is to interpret the US Constitution? conorlarkin 11:38am · 8/12/19
        
        That is a more controversial statement than you indicate. NedoftheHill 11:42am · 8/12/19
