Look up the Supreme ... ( 7 months ago by sunstorm007)

Look up the Supreme Court Cases:
Barron v. Baltimore
Gitlow v. New York Free Speech case
Also look up this case where the Freedom of Religion didn't apply to the States until 1940
Cantwell v. Connecticut
This will inform you of the Incorporation Doctrine. Ron Paul has stated, he is against Incorporation doctrine. He may be against restriction of firearms but he has no Constitutional Basis for limiting the State's rights to enforce Gun Control according to his logic.

Interesting topic. ... ( 7 months ago by zuckfat)

Interesting topic. From what I understand, Paul's rejection of the incorporation doctrine is one of philosphy. First, it permits the federal courts to be used to decide state issues, and second it is contradictory since in many cases the feds are violating the bill of rights simply by "sticking its nose" where it is not allowed. I have no doubt that Paul's views are of Individual rights and, from what I understand, the 2nd amend. hasn't been incorporatad anyway like the 1st or 5th.

I understand what ... ( 7 months ago by zuckfat)

I understand what you're getting at though. I think that it is clear that the intent of the 2nd amend. is one of preserving individual rights. The Jeffersonian anti-federalits demanded the bill of rights to protect idividual liberty regardless of state affilliation. Now does that technically only apply to federal powers? I don't see any judicail precedent for it. Maybe I'm wrong...good talking to you though

Second Amendment is a federal mandate to the states. It cannot be infringed. RPFTW

I think a lot of ... ( 5 months ago by matt47274)

I think a lot of people actually get that fact. With localized government he is saying that if Indianapolis Indiana as a community wants to ban firearms then they can but it won't affect Louisville Kentucky. This is not hypocritical he wants the community to decide for themselves and not the federal government.

No, I don't think ... ( 5 months ago by sunstorm007)

No, I don't think People get that fact. Almost all the Ron Paul Supporters I talk to do not know this. Of Course the Second Amendment has not been incorporated anyway, so Ron Paul can support the current construction by the Supreme Court in that regard.
However, Ron Paul wants the Local Government to able to restrict:
Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Religion
Freedom of Press

Funny that the ... ( 5 months ago by LumpyRevolution)

Funny that the Marines, DHS, FBI, etc. just took over ("pre-deployment exercises") a large repressed part of town there. Indiana has also given up their highways to the Spanish in the recent past. It looks like the heartland has already been communized. I don't know about you but I'm arming myself and moving to New Hampshire with the Free State Project.

No that's just ... ( 5 months ago by PhilintheBlank0)

No that's just legality. In fact, that's how it worked when the constitution was first in use, because the constitution is meant to regulate the federal government only, unless specifically stated otherwise.

That's exactly what I said.

So your view is that the states can ban firearms, limit free speech and do whatever they please, because they aren't bound by the constitution?

Does Ron Paul ... ( 3 months ago by soccom8341576)

Does Ron Paul actually say that he wants local government to restrict these things?

LOL! That's a ... ( 3 months ago by sunstorm007)

LOL! That's a rhetorical question.
It would be irrelevant under Ron Paul's construction of the Constitution whether he would want these rights restricted or not, because the United States Congress could not pass laws protecting certain citizens civil liberties from the States, even if they wanted to.
Before recent years, in lieu of selective incorporation, the States restricted all kinds of civil liberties found in the Bill of Rights, that we today for granted.

It's not my view ... ( 3 months ago by sunstorm007)

It's not my view soccom, it was Chief Justice John Marshall's view. John Marshall was appointed to the Supreme Court by president John Adams. See Baron v. Baltimore.
The issue changed though, with the passage of the 14th amendment, through the 'due process clause,' which was aimed directly at the States. Through the 14th amendment, the Supreme Court slowly but surely began to incorporate the Bill of Rights into the due process of clause of the 14th amendment.

So now, an individual is protected by the legal rights as said in the Constitution, and no government, state or federal can deprive you of it?
That makes more sense.

It might make perfect since to you, but Ron Paul is adamantly opposed to Incorporation. How many times do I have to say it?
Ron Paul does not think that the Bill of Rights should protect people from State Government. He wants the construction to go back to what is was under Barron v. Baltimore

No, he's a ... ( 2 months ago by littlebier8)

No, he's a libertarian. He wants to maximize individual liberty, but because he's a national politician he is primarily concerned with restraining the federal government, using the law of land, the Constitution.
