[Vision2020] A Liberal

[Joe Campbell]

There is also Amendment IX: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of
certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others
retained by the people." Thus, we can restrict rights precisely when
they "deny or disparage" other rights. Or in other words: no one has
the right to do wrong. I think the idea that the 2nd amendment
"protects" the "right" to purchase, say, armor piercing bullets is
wrong headed. Joe
