The left-wing ideologues are on the wrong side of just about everything when it comes to the United States Constitution.
A recent case in point comes from last night’s Piers Morgan show and his panelist Star Jones.  They were discussing the recent Oklahoma (Chris Lane) shooting, and as expected they both immediately attempt to attach “gun control” to the issue.   [unfortunately I cannot find a video, however here is the transcript – the emphasis mine]

Via CNN […] MORGAN: The father of Christopher Lane speaking out about the thrill kill murder of his son, the senseless violence that’s shocking America and Australia. All three suspects accused in this horrific crime are teenagers.

A lot of people are talking about that tonight including my next guest, Star Jones, attorney and national spokesperson for the National Association of Professional Women.
Star, I bet you know where to start with this this week with you because it makes me so bloody angry that this young, handsome, talented Australian sportsman come here to live the American dream of playing baseball is just gunned down by a bunch of wannabe gangsters, kids who just are bored. What do you have to say about it?
STAR JONES, ATTORNEY: You know, it breaks my heart that a young man lost his life in such a senseless manner. But the fact that you even had to identify him as young, handsome, talented, with all these dreams and hopes and aspirations, distinguishes him from other murder victims in our country and brings his story to light.
But let me tell you something. This happens on the streets and cities across our country from St. Louis to Miami, Florida, to New York City to Chicago, Illinois, to Detroit, Michigan. And as senseless as this homicide is, those other homicides are just as senseless, and those people were somebody’s kid, also.
So my heart breaks for this family and what they are experiencing. Having prosecuted murder cases, I can tell you that their lives are altered forever. It will never be the same, and the same goes for the defendants, for the men who — the young men who have been accused of this crime and I understand are going to face a very serious charge.
MORGAN: I mean, I’ve read before I came on air tonight that apparently there have been 10 kids age 7 or younger who have been shot in Chicago since the end of June. Not all killed but all shot, and some of it just so random, just walking upstairs to their home. So that’s Chicago. We know that they have problems there.
We have this going on here in Oklahoma. We have it in every major city. Every outback. Where does it end? You know, in Australia they had this massacre in ’96 and it changed everything, and the people that drove the change were all conservatives. They were Republicans.
It was no political partisan thing over there. What is wrong with America that it has to be partisan? That you have to be a pro- gun, you’re Republican so therefore you can’t bring in gun control. If you’re anti-gun outrage as I am. Apparently you’re some liberal freak. What is wrong with the argument in America that makes it so nonsensical?
JONES: It’s not a partisan issue, especially when there is a dead kid on the ground or — or in the ground. In this particular situation, it’s not about being conservative or about being liberal. The Constitution of the United States provides us with the right to bear arms. It does not provide us with the right to bear arms under all circumstances.
Every single right under the Constitution has some sort of provision to it where there is some limitations. And we have to have good, common sense gun control as it relates to the Second Amendment. You were talking about how young these defendants are, 15 to 17. And the senseless nature of the randomness of the murder.  (link)

Notice what Jones is doing here and if you ever are faced with the same or similar argument call it out.

No, Ms. Jones you are incorrect.    There are NO LIMITS upon the individual rights outlined in the constitution.   There are NO LIMITS to the 2nd Amendment outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
Any limitation to any constitutional right has been applied by the Supreme Court – in an “interpretation” of the constitution as brought about by challenges to legislation which construct limits through creation of laws.
The constitution itself does not limit the right of any American to keep and bear arms.   It specifically does not limit such a right – never has.
The only time the U.S. Constitution outlines roles and limitations, is specifically when the constitution affirms what the government may, or may not, do.   A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE.
The individual freedoms outlined in the U.S. Constitution under “RIGHTS” are expressly and intentionally absent of limits.    All limits have been applied post-constitution by the courts and legislature.
I will NOT accept your progressive wordsmithing – and I hope others will join me.
