If we possess a right to keep and bear firearms, it stands to reason that we must also have the right to acquire one, but according to a federal judge in Colorado no such right exists.

U.S. District Judge John L. Kane, an 86-year-old appointee of Jimmy Carter back in 1977, made the eyebrow-raising decision in a case known as Rocky Mountain Gun Owners v. Polis, which challenges Colorado’s newly-enacted three-day waiting period on all gun sales. Kane denied the group’s request for an injunction that would have halted enforcement of the waiting period while the litigation continues, ruling the plain text of the Second Amendment only covers the right to keep and bear a firearm, not to purchase or acquire one for lawful purposes.

Reason doesn't exist anymore. Didn't you get the memo?

These (((judges))) obviously are subverting society by trying to claim unless we are given specific rights by our despot leaders, we can't expect to have them at all.

I once had someone argue that we only had the right to do things that were made legal by laws that had been passed. It took a while to explain that she was 180 degrees away from being correct. I finally got through to her but she wasn't happy about it.

This is what schools do: drum the idea into children that they must always comply. Don't think... comply.

Your entire world consists only of things you are given by your lords. You may only do what you are told you can do. If you haven't been explicitly told you may do something, it is illegal.
