NYC Mayor Adams Defiant After SCOTUS Gun Ruling: "Nothing changes today"

I am basically a conservative, but I am perplexed as to how far off the understanding of the Constitution we have gotten over the years in this country. Basically: The Bill of Rights is a list of examples of rights and powers not being ceded to the federal government to have any jurisdiction over; that government being one of limited and delegated powers - "few and defined," in the rather authoritative words of the man fairly called the Father of the Constitution, James Madison, and as emphasized in the 9th and 10th Amendments. In our federal form of government, most domestic matters remain in the hands of the several States, as codified in their state constitutions. Thus, we have been misled for a very long time in this country about 'our constitutional rights'. Just as with the issue of abortion, the issue of 'bearing arms' is properly a state, not a federal, matter (with a nod to the status of state militias and their 'well regulation'). I understand that some commentaters on this issue talk about how we are 'born with certain rights,' as commented on in the Declaration of Independence; but that is a prevaiing value, or sentiment, until such things are codified, under the rule of law, via our constitutions, state and federal. So, if conservatives are going to demand that we live by the rule of law in the matter of abortion - and return its jurisdiction to its rightful location in the States - then they need to do the same in regards to other such domestic issues. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. And note: I also understand that some (a lot of) commentators talk about how the Bill of Rights got turned on its head wholesale by the 14th Amendment, and was made to apply FROM the FEDERAL government TO the STATES (under a fancy judicial-sounding term caled incorporation'). But that is a nonsense. The 14th Amendment only applies to some very specific issues, named therein.

What a can of worms this is. But it must be dealt with. We either live by and under the rule of law or we dont. The altrnative is living by arbitrary law. Another word for which is tyranny.

  DLR, I like how you think.

Of course nothing changes for NYC - the Mayor is pro-crime. He sold voters a bill of goods and they were stupid enough to listen to him.
