(4,835 posts)Of course corporations have rights. Should they be treated as people? Not really the same thing.
Corporations serve a purpose. Just because the situation is being abused doesn't mean we should eliminate them. Regulate them a little more perhaps, but that's not what we were discussing.
I don't care how the nine justices feel about the 2nd amendment; just like I dont care how the 7 justices felt who thought separate but equal was equal. Wrong is wrong.
Right now there is a huge difference in how people (mostly depending on whether they are rural or urban) feel about whether there should be an individual right to own guns without registering them.
I think it is a right granted to governing bodies (not collectives) to form their own defense. I believe it is worded such that the governing body can 'regulate' gun ownership (require registration, training etc). The idea that the 2nd amendment gives a person the unrestricted right to own whatever weapons they want is not consistent with my personal opinion.
But it is only my personal opinion.
