It`s About The Second Amendment And Nothing Else

[GGReporter]

"While clowning around with my grandchildren one day, I suddenly shouted, `Look at the sky, it has turned from blue to green.`" Writes Marion Hammer. "Try as I might, I could never convince them that it was true, because they could see and couldn`t be fooled. So it is with Robert Levy`s column. Levy claims that our right to have firearms locked in our cars in a parking lot is not about the Second Amendment but about the mythical right of corporations to usurp the Constitution and ban guns."

Go Florida. If the rest of the States would follow your lead our Nation would be a safer place. Your Legislature might want to consider a Bill that any entity limiting your right of self protection such as gun free zones and businesses banning legal CCW carry can be held both criminally and civilly for injury or death on their premises.

thats the idiot who said your car was not your property and the corporation has the power to tell you not to have a gun in your personal property.

I'm surprised a big-government position would come from somebody at the cato institute. Do you know where I can read what he said?

EDIT: Nevermind. It's in the article.


I like this part:

Big business fought this measure, feigning corporate "private property rights" - a baseless argument considering that business consents to laws that limit property rights. Corporations must abide by civil rights laws, zoning laws, safety inspections and fire codes among others. Laws even dictate the number, size and placement of parking places and mandate space for shopping cart storage in publicly accessible parking lots.

NRA believes in private property rights, but unlike citizens, corporations are discretionary creations of government. They come into existence through charters created by legislatures. Corporate interests don't override the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.
