Be a Second Amendment Absolutist

[@mortem-tyrannis]

Yes im an 2A absolutists, and if I'm called one ill respond with "thanks."

[@yugbe]

0:44 I will Absolutely wear that badge of Second Amendment Absolutist, absolutely, and proudly!!

[@RichardCranium321]

Im not an absolutist, I'm a constitutionalist who can read and who understands the meaning of phrases like "congress shall make no law" and "shall not be infringed"

[@Disastrous.Affect]

I will go one step further and say I am a United States Constitution Absolutist.👍 All Federal Regulation outside of the Constitution has only happened since they included "Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." in the 13th amendment, and every amendment since then.🤷‍♂

[@BogDrakonov]

I think we can repeal the 16th though ;)

[@flyoverkid55]

Careful what you ask for. Consider the matter of eminent domain.

[@MarineVeteran0351]

That my Friend is a Constitutionalist, and welcome to the party my friend😅

[@vyr01]

lets stop with the 10th amendment of the Bill of Rights - The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. - those last 4 words mean we have the last say, not the government

I am a 2nd Amendment Absolutist!

[@PoormansMachineGun]

Thank you! Yes I am! "Shall not be infringed written in the 2nd amendment means Congress shall make no laws as written in the 1st amendment!"

[@mortem-tyrannis]

"Shall not be infringed" only means anything if the people are willing to fight if they do occur and to make sure no infringement happens in the future. That's why we have over $20,000 illegal gun laws on the books now, because people think the words on paper will stop tyrants. But it doesn't.

[@JimmySilverFoot]

"So you think people should be able to own a tank?!" Yes. Yes I do. If you can afford it, you should be able to own it.

[@PoormansMachineGun]

"You are a 2nd amendment absolutist? What does that even mean?" Me : "I think you should be able to buy machine guns from a vending machines"!

[@michaelholt8590]

The only problem with that is only the super rich would have tanks. As a former Abrams mechanic, I can tell you that we normal people would never be able to afford to maintain or operate a tank.

[@chiefro7]

@@michaelholt8590idk man, thats what people thought about many of the technological advances like gps, robots, etc. and now everyone has a smart phone and roomba. Give the open market a chance and watch it flourish. Edit: hell look at cell phones… they were “car phones” in the 90’s and cost $3 a minute. Now they hand them out for free on every inner city street corner.

[@PoormansMachineGun]

@@michaelholt8590 I almost bought a FV443 Abbot. Not technically a tank but close enough.

[@michaelholt8590]

@chiefro7 True, but a cell phone or handheld GPS unit isn't a 70 ton tank. They also have suspension parts that break and need replacing on a regular basis. Then you have ammo cost because you will need to train with the weapon systems for it to be effective in combat. I'm not sure what a 120mm shell goes for on the open market, but given current ammo prices, it's safe to say a lot. And don't get me started on fuel. While I do agree that we citizens should be allowed to own whatever weapons we want. The reality of ordinary citizens owning and effectively training and maintaining every weapon the military has access to is not realistic.

[@REF49]

Count me in, permanently a 2A absolutist!

The 1A says Congress shall make no law, the 2A says shall not be infringed. Congress needs to learn how to read.

Yup. I like the 4th and 5th as well. All of them enshrine what it is to be free.

[@GmanGSW]

Yep. I'm really a Pro-Natural Rights/Constitutionalist and denote Independent Constitutional Conservative, having left the Republican party, years ago, given the RINOs that came in and will not rejoin until they stop allowing known RINOs to graze. I've met similar minded people who vote Independent or Conservatively, even for Republicans, but we are sick of the RNC. I wish we had an Independent Constitutional Party or, simply, a Constitutional Party.

[@garyK.45ACP]

I am a 2nd Amendment absolutist. Basic premise...if we didn't release criminals who we don't trust with firearms into society, we wouldn't need background checks or _any other restrictions on firearms._ If you are not _in prison,_ you should be able to own a firearm without question. That does NOT mean I don't celebrate incremental _restorations_ of our rights when they happen. For example: So called "constitutional carry" which is NOT constitutional carry if it has ANY restrictions and was implemented by a state legislature. BUT...I will celebrate permitless carry and NOT demand that I get all or nothing at all. I will _always_ take half a loaf and come back for the rest.

[@danstewart2770]

I'm a Constitutionalist. It's not just 2A ... It's all inherent rights & limitations of government.

[@grinch45]

2A in consideration of 10A means rights to arms in not a state right to infringe and also illegal under the 14A and all need to be terminated. Thats my absolutist postion. 2A means every citizen rights are the same in every location.

[@hahahano2796]

This. So many people think that the BoR only applies at the federal level or that states can somehow make anything up. Most people avoid the inconsistencies in the violations of different Rights.

[@ArshAZ83]

10A literally says anything not mentioned above it is to be decided at state's discretion. Everything above 10A overrides 10A and cannot be undermined under the auspices of 'states rights'.

This may be a hair, off-topic, with some of these not exactly “Arms”but I recently revisited my own opinion and stance on citizens, owning “weapons of war”. Should citizens be able to own: Fully automatic-Yes Machine operated/Miniguns-Yes Cannons and Artillery -Yes Tanks/apaches/jet fighters - sure why not Explosives/missiles/Aerial Bombs- unsure Nuclear Weapons - Hell no. So my question is where should we draw the line?

Also, wanting to add, the other party, is indeed, trying to "bait" or get you into an argument, which I've gotten into and win to the point of them not wanting to talk about it anymore... They will not concede defeat, but quickly try to get away from the FACTS>emotions or use Leftist/Anti-2A media points.

I take it as a compliment. All gun control laws are unconstitutional. It’s just that simple.

[@jasonbourne777666]

Exactly no other constitutional right is treated the way they do to the 2A. The 2A is approached from the completely wrong premise by the government like it is a permission slip to the citizens instead of what it is which a restriction on them from creating any laws or obstructions from us acquiring arms and weapon systems.

I don't know if you'd call me a 2A absolutist because I'm perfectly willing to take an incremental approach based on what is possible right now. ANY gain that I can make I will take and I'll be back the next day pushing for even more until there are no more infringements.

Let me tell you the depths of my 2A absolutism. I believe that it should be legal to purchase recreational suitcase nukes from vending machines for anyone over 18 with an ID.

[@milspecmike8440]

I am a 2nd Amendment absolutist, I will always be. That said, I am also a pragmatic voter. The 2A is my top issue but isn’t the only issue I care about, so I vote for the person who is the most 2A friendly while also supporting my other issues AND has a chance to win a general election. Example, I assume the current LOLbertarian candidate is a 2A absolutist but is for open borders and businesses having no guardrails as well as unfettered abortion, etc. Not only that, he has no chance to win. I will not waste a vote on someone like that because they are on my side for the 2A. Trump’s SCOTUS picks are turning things around for us and Harris would be a disaster, one of those two will be POTUS. I cannot even imagine Harris being in there and the damage she will do. I think Trump has a better understanding of our stance this time around too and hopefully better advisors than the NRA. Luckily, my Federal rep is as 2A friendly as can be and my Senators have never voted for gun control in any form either. Same holds true for my state Rep and Senator.

[@jonathanstiles6072]

I am not a 2A absolutist. I am an absolutist for individual gun rights, rights that are not sourced from the 2A. It does, after all, say "shall not be infringed" and not "is hereby granted". Frankly if it said the latter I wouldn't care much for the opinions of those who wrote it. I'm grateful for the 2A as written, but it's a routinely broken promise that needs to be restored. I'd also point out that it's not an *American* right but a *human* right. We're just lucky enough to live in one of the few countries that is relatively unsuccessful in stamping out that human right, and we're beginning to see the consequences for people who relinquished their means of keeping tyrannical governments afraid.

The 2A covers every conceivable weapon as well as all other military equipment including camouflage, optics, body armor, medical gear, comms, drones, jamming equipment, night vision, thermals, electronic warfare gear, vehicles, warships, aircraft, spy satellites, and anything else conceivably necessary to prosecute armed rebellion against any foreign or even our own federal government in the case of tyranny or invasion.

I think if there is anything in this world we need to be absolutist on it is our constitution and the amendment within it that ensures that we have enough force available to us to tell Uncle Sam no.

[@drewwilliams9457]

I'm not an absolutist. I believe children under the age of 7 should be prohibited from purchasing a gun without permission.

[@flyoverkid55]

I am a firm supporter of those rights bestowed upon us by our Creator. Any others are a construct of Man, and therefor are subject to the interpretation of men. I firmly support 2A, but not at the expense of private property rights of an individual. A man's home is his castle, and I need permission to enter that home, armed or not. I won't enter a home with a firearm without permission, nor will I allow you to enter my home without permission. It is unreasonable for anyone to believe otherwise, 2A notwithstanding. That said, I have found myself afoul of the law in regard to concealed carry restrictions on private property that is other than someone's home. I don't take this lightly, nor do I believe 2A applies in this matter. I believe my right to self defense supercedes law, and will do everything in my power to avoid conflict with the property owner in regard to my being armed. If any of this precludes my being an absolutist for 2A, so be it.
