Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It is in practice
Like I said, "Mah rights!"
You realize that there are different states and things can be unconstitutional right? People in may issue states have gun privileges, not rights.
This seems like a confirmation that your argument is, in fact, "Mah rights!"
I dont get what you don't understand of on paper vs in practice.
Just because thats what it says, doesn't change the fact that may issue states offer priveleges not rights. Just because the SC will likely eventually overturn the unconstitutional state law, doesn't mean that those people have those rights. They don't have those rights until it's overturned, it's the whole point of bringing it to the SC. Rights denied are rights denied.
The law is only unconstitutional if you have a right that the state law takes away.
You have the right as guaranteed by the second amendment and the supremacy clause. I'm not sure what you don't understand about how the constitution works.
And that is exactly what we are talking about.
This is, "Mah rights!" nonsense. The right isn't absolute. You have the right but that right is regulated by state law. None of your rights are absolute. Call the White House and tell them you're going to kill the president and see how far your free speech rights go.
NOTE: Dear fascist brown shirts, that was NOT a threat but a reductio ad absurdum example. Get a brain.
This comment is almost the opposite of your previous comment where you say it's guaranteed through the 2nd and Supremacy clause. Now you're basically saying state law overrides the constitution.
No. I'm saying that for the law to be unconstitutional at you say you must have the right to own a gun.
Yes. In theory you have a right to own a gun.
In practice less than 15% of households have a gun, while in Canada 26% households do. It's arguably easier to get a gun in Canada, even without said "right"
82% of Canadians support stronger gun laws. 84% of Massachusetts residents support stronger gun laws.
Or that.
