To own a pistol, at the time, you had to prove to the chief of police that you had a reasonable fear

Ahhh same law as Greece

There had been a case where a woman was raped and beaten, man went to prison, told her multiple times he's coming back to rape her again and kill her etc

Victim applies for pistol permit, chief denies it

Some other cases where even 20 year veterans of special forces didn't get permit

Landmark court case, DC v. Heller, changed this

Court held that it is a right to own a firearm for self defense, period

Doesn't the second amendment count though?

Yes but some governments will ignore it

Or state laws can overwrite the amendments?

They cannot legally, but they do anyway

Can you drag them to court over this?

Prior to Heller, rifles and shotguns in DC also had to be kept unloaded and locked, or disassembled

Yes you can sue the state or federal government

Basically to drag them to Supreme Court

I see

Here's the most fucked up thing though

Heller, who sued the government, because they wouldn't recognize his rights ... Is a cop

wtf

The nigga has probably carried a gun next to congressmen, cabinet members, and federal judges

But wasn't allowed to have one in his home

It's stupid in the first level to have regulations that the amendment allows

but that's just beyond stupid

One of the circuit judges said that DC isn't a state so the people there don't have constitutional rights

It's like in Greece, if you have a fear that someone is hunting you down. You can do the paperwork (7 months work) to get a loicense for a gun but if you use it for self-defence sorry nigga you will go to prison

Cases don't go directly to the supreme court, they go through multiple lower courts first, and she was a dissenting judge in that case

I see, I believe here if the case is an infrigment on our rights we can ask to go to supreme court directly

Do you have a specifically delinated right to life?

What do you mean?

Does your constitution or basic law say you have a right to life?

Because that is from where the right to bear arms comes from

Right to life, and right to private property

We do

Guns are forbidden by laws though and heavely regulated

But our constitution needs to be burned

If the law said you are forbidden to practice your religion, then what?

You can't have a constitution when they revise it

whenever they want

Constitutional law supersedes statutory law

Therefore if your constitution guarantees the right to life, then it implicitly guarantees the right to protect your own life

That is the right of self defense
