If guns are a right, then they should be Federally funded.

Biden has flipped and now favors Federal funding for abortions.

This author takes it another step and since guns are a right they should be federally funded. After all a $600 Glock might be a weeks pay for someone making the $15 minimum wage Bernie wants.

Can you imagine the whining and complaining if the courts ordered the Fed Govt to purchase every American that wants one an AR15!

Just pay for ammo for me would be good.

Wow, great idea.

Range ammo part of regulated militia.

Part of defense department budget. Why no country would want to invade us by force. Could use up some of the ammo Obama stockpiled.

They want us to be marksmen, right?

What am I missing? Abortions are not Constitutionally protected in the Bill of Rights. If abortions are legal, it is because they are legislated.

I was thinking the same apple vs oranges thing myself.

What you are missing is the 1973 case of Roe v. Wade, in which the Supreme Court held that abortion is a constitutionally protected right, even though neither a right to abortion nor a right to privacy is mentioned in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.

Probably semantics, but there is a difference between a court opinion that can be challenged and decided based on political ideology and a right that is spelled out in the Bill of Rights. The difference is implicit vs implied opinion. Roe v Wade is case law - and that falls into the legislated category of my original post.

Which is duly pointed out in the linked article. The thrust of the article is that if the Dems would choke on providing funding for the enumerated right to bear arms, how much more ludicrous is it that they want to fund a “right” found nowhere in the body nor amendments of the Constitution, but only in the warped minds of a long superseded SCOTUS.

No “government” regardless of its founding documents should be requiring tax paying citizens to fund the murder of other’s children.

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” - John Adams

It could be argued that the Democratic platform is incompatible with the Constitution’s intended moral and religious people.
