It took effect in 1789.
[–] DeseretIndustries 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
It took effect long before that. 1789 merely codified existing tradition.

Right? I'll wait for that spike in gun violence that's bound to happen if the libnuts are correct about guns...
But I won't hold my breath.

It never happens. Usually the crime rate shrinks or stays the same. It never rises.

And now the rest, correct? The constitution means the right to bear arms shall not be infringed, explicitly for all states.

No, next comes ((them)) replacing everyone in the Oklahoma Supreme Court who allowed this to happen, to ensure a much more compliant government.

Thanks one state's government for allowing the peasants to have their "right"
Thank you mi lords

OK is pretty good at removing rights from the peasants though. And the link below is just for actual incarceration, not counting those who are just "in the system" and never seem to be able to get out.

All it does is allow law abiding citizens to carry freely. The niggers and criminals (but I repeat myself) are going to carry anyway, even when it is against the law.

Wow, White people with guns not killing each other when gathering as a community? This is anti semitic, white supremacist propaganda. black people are dying at twerking competitions because of these Nazis.

This way, no one will ever be shot in those areas. Thank the gods.

Regrettably, guns are necessary. As is the case with my children, I love my government but I do not trust it.
[–] itsALWAYStheBANKERS 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Why do you regret that guns are necessary you fucking pussy
