Completely missing the point why people are fighting against this. Imagine other established rights either on the state or national level being suspended/infringed under the guise of being a public health crisis. Letting this slide lets other scumbags think they can try it and test the waters with things they don't like in their state without consequence.

Regardless of where you stand on the law, allowing something like this to remain would be incredibly dangerous. If you can suspend part of one amendment, what's to stop other governors from doing the same thing? Like red states suspending freedom of speech and such.

Exactly this. Imagine if governors of Alabama or Arkansas declared abortion a "public health crisis" and used similar tactics to suspend that right. And that's an even more difficult road to counteract because that actually involves health care & is not a clear Constitutional right.

You never know when someone might refuse you service at a bar, drive a little too close on the highway, not have your pizza ready on time, argue with you about a dog, a hamburger, or a basketball game.

Without the ability the murder them, you are at risk of losing face.

I'm ok with laws that make it harder to get guns. I'm not ok with a governor taking away constitutional rights under the guise of "public health order". It's less about the specific right and more about rights being taken away. Not sure what you think the benefit of playing dumb is

It's so cute that people think they have rights in a land with no mandatory paid leave and no free travel.

Conservatives are ignoring and violating the constitution all over the place. They've corrupted the Supreme Court and endangered the lives of millions. So yeah, I'm ok with a governor saying fuck the constitution and fixing what needs to be fixed.

Gun control isn't "the wrong way". Are you against gun control (yes/no)?
If no, that contradicts what you said earlier about you being OK with the government working to save lives.
I didn't ask for commentary/melties either. A simple yes/no will suffice.

Has anyone conclusively proven that open carry is a constitutional right?

I'm not questioning the right to own a gun (for the purpose of this specific reply), mind you, but the idea that it's a right to be visibly armed in public.

Given modern constitutional law? It means literally anything you argue it to mean. The constitution is incredibly ill defined and misinterpreted even by legal scholars.

And even if those who wrote it meant for open and concealed carry to be allowed, they were wrong and should be disregarded.

"Bear arms"

That is not a universally recognized or accepted interpretation of the phrase. It is a minority usage of the phrase in historical documents, and Heller's majority was written with no eye or ear towards actual, historical context, otherwise Scalia would have been able to point to a half-dozen more references than his ass.

Several states' constitutions had to specifically qualify that bear arms includes defense of the self and not the more commonly understood "in a military capacity only."

https://firearmslaw.duke.edu/2021/07/legal-corpus-linguistics-and-the-meaning-of-bear-arms/#:~:text= [link break] These%20founding%2Dera%20sources%20used,of%20constitutional%20rights%20to%20arms.

I don't see a good argument (just an argument) to think that "bear arms" means "getting to flash my piece around to scare the libs at Target."

I feel like it's pretty clear, considering the people who wrote it were just in a war with a tyrannical state militia. I'm fine if people want to change the law and amend the constitution. Law should be a living, breathing thing that can be changed. But it should be going through the proper channels to be changed. There needs to be buy-back programs planned in advance as well as clarity in how the laws will be implemented. Doing it this way will only get the people who say "They're coming for our guns" to change to "See, they're doing it now". Especially when asked if she thinks this will stop criminals from carrying, her answer is no. So in their eyes, it looks like all she's doing to trying to get guns away from law-abiding citizens. As an aside, I feel like it's worth noting that Albuquerque has one of the highest rates of fatal shootings by officers in the country. Some may find that good or bad in this situation, depending on which direction they lean.

I might have misunderstood - are you saying *you* believe the constitution currently allows open carry? Or that *federal law* as written currently allows open carry?

I feel like as written, the constitution allows open carry. That's why I feel the steps taken for gun control would require the second amendment to be changed. And sorry if my thoughts are a little short/not completely clear, replying while at work

Hmm - some states already prohibit open carry and haven't been overruled by the supreme court, with even Scalia not speaking in defense of the practice.

In the majority opinion in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), Justice Antonin Scalia wrote concerning the entirety of the elements of the Second Amendment; "We find that they guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation." However, Scalia continued, "Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."[55]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_carry_in_the_United_States#Constitutional_implications

So current interpretation of the constitution as written doesn't support open carry, though the Hawaii law is currently being appealed I believe
