the U.S. Constitution only has jurisdiction over, and only applies to, American citizens.

this is completely false

this is completely false

Does it protect the gun rights of Canadians? No. That would make no sense.

this is an example of how people do not understand what the constitution does. It doesn't apply to Americans, it applies to the government, as in what they can and cannot do. as an example, if a canadian citizen comes to visit a relative in Arizona, they can legally carry a handgun without a license........if a canadian citizen comes to visit any other state, are they subject to the laws of our nation? yes.

Wrong. When the Constitution restrains the Federal Government from doing something, that is protecting the states and the individual. But it cannot restrain the Federal Government from violating the "rights" of people who aren't even citizens of this country. That doesn't even make sense. Canadians don't HAVE gun rights under our 2nd Amendment, because our 2nd Amendment obviously only protects citizens who are subject to U.S. jurisdiction.

and any PERSON within the borders of the U.S. is subject to it's jurisdiction, short of diplomatic immunity.

Provably false. The Constitution even goes out of its way to distinguish people BORN in the U.S. from people who are "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." Let alone people who just happen to be standing in the U.S. at the moment.

Don't fall for the obvious bait.

you are not reading the Constitution correctly. By your interpretation, I could shoot some canadian citizen in the head and not be held accountable because the canadian isn't subject to our constitution or laws

You're clueless, Arminius.
The problem with the constitution is not the rights that it sought to protect.
It's the incredibly stupid form of government that it gave us.

That being said, our perspectives as to that which constitutes desirable "freedom" are totally incompatible.
No republic can survive with this much ideological incompatibility, and ours won't for much longer either.

To: Arminius...QED

 

[Into the Night]

You're forgetting the Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1:



Democrats stand for "Equal Protection under the Law" for ALL AmeriCANs!

No, they don't.

 

[Into the Night]

Correct. And nine out of 10 Trumptards don't think protections extend to undocumented aliens. That's how stupid they are.

Bigotry. Void argument fallacy. Rights do not come from constitutions or any other piece of paper.

 

[Into the Night]

Yes, how "stupid" someone must be to correctly comprehend that the U.S. Constitution only has jurisdiction over, and only applies to, American citizens.

Do you ever get tired of demonstrating abject stupidity while calling other people stupid?

The Constitution does NOT apply to citizens OR illegal immigrants. It applies to GOVERNMENT.
The purpose of a constitution is to declare and define a government, and give it certain limited powers and authorities.

Constitutions do not give rights. No rights come from a piece of paper. It does not 'protect' rights. The purpose of a constitution is to define and declare a government, and to give it certain limited powers and authorities. That government has NO power or authority other than what that constitution specifically gives it.

The US Constitution also specifically prohibit government from passing any law curtailing certain specific rights as well...more as a clarification of boundaries than anything else. Nothing in the Constitution gave the government those powers in the first place.
