One can't kill someone on the road in front of their property with a car without the car leaving their property. The same can not be said about a gun.
how is that relevant?

It was a specific answer to a specific question as to how owning guns on your own property could be different from owning a car on your own property. Did you not read the OP? Or were you just incapable of understanding it?
So we can assume that all these people are likely to have committed other felonies? And as felons, they should have their right to vote taken away as well as their right to own a gun?
The 2nd Amendment supersedes the 10th.
How do we reach this conclusion?
The 2nd Amendment is the Federal level. It applies to ALL states.
That applies to the 10th Amendment as well.
And all of the others.
once a convicted person fulfills their sentence, they should be accorded every single right and freedom they had before. If they can't be trusted in public with a weapon, they can't be trusted in public.
Should this be a federal law?
Because not every state law permits it!
Read it again.
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.
In any case, I personally don't give a fat fuck about the 2nd Amendment, one way or the other.
I own nine expensive firearms.
If the government is willing to properly pay me for them, it can have all of them.
I haven't taken them out of their cases in more years than I can remember.
I see our Constitution as a possibly well-intentioned but horrifically deficient document
rife with ill-advised compromises that were apparently required to forge one nation
out of essential incompatible colonies.
The Second Amendment should never have mentioned "well regulated militia"
which gives idiots the idea that they have the right to overthrow the government by force if they don't like the results of legitimate elections.
Now, there is a weird loophole in the law concerning firearms and felons... That is, any gun made before 1895 can be owned legally, so you just buy yourself one of these...
Or for a bit higher price one of these...
Should this be a federal law?
Because not every state law permits it!
Idiots are going to have ideas, most likely very idiotic ones.......like the General Welfare clause gives the government the power to make any welfare program it wants to....which gives idiots the idea
you are dismissing the very reason that the framers ratified the 2nd Amendment. Do you trust the government?It should have merely stated that private ownership of firearms is a protected right for all citizens in good standing.
When military weapons got more advanced, the provision should have been amended
to allow the federal government to limit the types of firearms that individual citizens can own
while still protecting the right to own appropriate ones..
This is how sane people would have done it.
America doesn't have a history of having many of those.
I see the 2nd Amendment as an archaic out of date, out-of-touch- amendment that used Revolutionary War terms that no longer apply anymore- that needs an UPDATE THAT CANNOT BE MISINTERPRETED AS SOMETHING IT WAS NEVER INTENTIONED FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE.
