Ok, if I'm wrong, how so?

Every person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state.

Any law, 227 for instance, that keeps a person from being armed with whatever they choose, wherever they choose, however they choose, whenever they choose, is...

unconstitutional.

It's funny because you guys are going on and on with this foot stomping tirade over "this is unconstitutional."

Yeah, we get it, we all know it's unconstitutional. If you have a solution, other than repeating "We should do something about this," then I'm all ears. Otherwise... yeah, I've read this book before. Unconstitutional. Got it. We've all got it.

It isn't mental gymnastics. More like walking across a room.

Every person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state. MCL 750.227 CLEARLY and directly contradicts that right.

I really really hate people like you who turn the law into what it has become. The reason for that disdain is because it will someday lead to loss of life on a grand scale.

That's a first on here, I'm personally hated for answering what the law is. Wasn't the original question regarding how one could stay "legal"? Instead of realizing that I can actually state what the law is and still believe it SHOULD be interpreted differently, there is a certain naivety in thinking that your opinion alone will be enough to stay on the right side of the law. Good luck with that thought.

For the readers who may not know this: DrTodd is a very strong supporter of our rights (all of them). He is a fountain of knowledge here. Can we please not urinate in his direction simply because we don't like what he relates - "the law" ? We can agree to disagree on some things, but at the end of the day, we are all in the same boat together. If we shoot holes in the bottom of afore mentioned boat, guess what? We are all getting wet together! Just food for thought. :eek:

Carry on - openly. :D

I asked for an intelligent reply and all I get is another person on ignore.

^^^That right there is funny, i don't care who you are.^^^

If I had the money I would fight it. Just pointing out that if you have the money, go for fighting it. Most here don't.

So you are all in agreement that the constitution is worth about as much as a peso?

@Luke.

Nope not saying the Constitution is worthless at all. I am saying that many responsible to uphold it and obey it are. ;)

This also means You & I. To paraphrase "all it takes for evil to prosper is for good people to stand idly by.." So we must become much more vocal & active if we are to uphold our rights (a.k.a the constitution). I have done what many have done and that is: contributed large sums of money, protested for our 2A / civil rights and stood next to many here who put themselves in harms way and faced possible false arrest / injury / death to defend our rights. Does this make me special? NO! It does make me a minority who would much rather be a majority member. Until we as a people start standing up and saying no more, we will get more: rights & freedoms infringed upon. Doing nothing, ensures nothing! That much is clear.

+1 Free,

What good is the constitution then if it's not able to do what it was intended to do? The forefathers wrote it with the current leadership in mind, so that we would be able to retain the right to self defense in the presence of such laws; it was written to prohibit them.

You've obviously missed the point. There is a time and place to "preach to the choir"; this thread really wasn't one of them. How else can I make it any clearer?


preach to the choir and preach to the convertedFig. to make one's case primarily to one's supporters; to make one's case only to those people who are present or who are already friendly to the issues.

Well looking at if from a historical prospective: our founding father's would have expected us to be active in our governments' affairs. During the revolutionary war, roughly 1/3 of the population sided with the colonialists, roughly 1/3 with the King's men & 1/3 simply sat on their @$$es and watched. In today's society the sit on their @$$es segment is probably around 90+% if I was a betting man. No wonder our leadership don't fear their people, why should they? Instead we fear them, and continue to do: ......wait for it...........NOTHING! :(

Then to hell with the law. These are my rights. If you want to be free, you cannot be bound by law.

It's not naive. It's time to take things to another level.

OK, so what is stopping you from doing so?

Then to hell with the law. These are my rights. If you want to be free, you cannot be bound by law.

I would humbly suggest that you become aware of the law and how it has been interpreted so that you can at least put up a minimal argument if/when you find yourself in front of a judge. I would help but I'm guessing I'd be vilified for sharing information with you; I'll stay out of it. I just hope that your actions don't set the movement back even further.

Didn't answer the question?

Raggs, I'm beginning to think I need to distance myself from this person. Either he is a believer that will do more harm than good by advocating violence and inciting people to do unwise things or, much more likely, he is someone connected to the anti's...maybe even Dan Gross himself... who is making those that support the 2nd amendment fit every stereotype that is out there.
