Why is the government passing laws against the Constitution? I want to bare arms why can't i own several guns

Question

Why must we be restriced in our right to own fire arms

Answer 1

liberals are against it

Answer 2

The founders could not comprehend or imagine such things as M1 tanks or Gatling guns. I think it is sensible to restrict private ownership of the most extreme weapons. However, I don't think automatic rifles should be prohibited. The government has them, and if we ever have to replace a tyrannical government (the whole point of the 2nd Amendment), then we will need automatic weapons.

Answer 3

The constitution does give the right to bare arms.

However, the right is not absolute. You can't own just anything that propels bullets/shells. That's why you can't own a tank, howitzer and many other guns.

The courts have to consider the right to bare arms and what is good public policy. Private citizens owning tanks is not good public policy.

Answer 4

No one has restricted your right to "bare" your arms, you can go around without clothing on your arms anytime you want. I also don't know of any law that prevents you from owning several guns (I know a number of people who own "several" or more guns), but that has nothing to do with baring your arms.

Answer 5

I own a lot of guns and I am always considering buying more. I don't know what laws you're speaking of but if you don't buy from a dealer, you don't have to report that you own the guns. Out of all the guns I own, only one is registered and it's going to stay that way. My favorite is registered to a police officer. I bought it from him for self defense.

Answer 6

In 1939, the Supreme Court ruled Americans have the right to military weapons. That includes hand guns.

Answer 7

First off -- the 2nd Amendment only applies to FEDERAL gun regulations -- it (like the 7th) was never incorporated to apply against the states -- meaning states can regulate guns all they want.

So, the federal govt (and federal territories, like DC) are very limited in terms of what regulations they can impose -- and they need a pretty strong reason to impose any restrictions.

States, on the other hand, can do pretty much anything they want -- unless the state constitution imposes other limits.

Answer 8

It seems you want to use the money you should have used for education to buy guns.
You cannot 'bare' arms.
And nobody is 'restricing' your rights

Answer 9

Because liberals are stupid, and never think about others... or think at all! I also respect the constitution, and love my guns.

Answer 10

Which law are you complaining about? Nobody has taken away your right to own a gun as long as your 18 and not a felon.

Answer 11

First, it's "restricTed," which may give you some indication of why we should restrict it. Second, I believe the second amendment says "militia"; I don't think they wanted everyone to have a gun.
