US/Mexico gun control laws.

From what I have seen, Mexico has pretty strict gun control laws compared to the US. So the question is, as Mexican immigrants eventually become the majority of the US (they will be 50% of the nation by 2045) will gun laws become more restrictive like our neighbor down South? Or do you think the constitution will hold up?
 
Yes, laws will become more restrictive, but it will not be Mexican immigrants voting it into place.

The Constitution is a dead letter. It has been meaningless for some time now.
 
Good question. The Mexican gun laws are more restrictive (unless you have money and power) but, OTOH, when I go to public ranges there are usually a bunch of Latinos there and they are better armed than I am. I don't know if that's good or bad, depends on which side they pick when the balloon goes up. Just my observation.

Dear KSFREEMAN:

The Constitution is not meaningless. It has however, been ignored by the employees involved Government, since about 1967.

It is high time they are reminded it exists, and are required to govern pursuant to it.

We as a People are at fault for allowing them to remain negligent of it in administering power, and we must at some point unite in order to elect only those who still recall it still exists.

I agree. The Constitution may not be perfect, but it sure beats what we're using now.

What happened in 1967? Of course we all know that the first amendment did die on July 14, 1798, and then got revived again on March 3, 1801

Constitution is lawful

It was based on the ten commandments and Gods word. It will never die for God won't let it. By taking it out of the courts and schools and our govt that doesn't change God. But we are seeing the bad effects of not following it. These are unalienable rights. This govt has alienated itself away from his law and look at what they have become. We don't have to follow that path, we the people outnumber them a million to one. It lives in our hearts and minds. Faith is the belief in unseen things. Their crud is unlawful and it tells who" their father" is. We all know what is going to happen to the judged one. That lake of fire awaits. The strict gun control laws in Mexico, and the godless corruption is one of the reasons they flee here. But it's the socialism that they bring concerns me for it will dilute our gun rights.

In my opinion this nails it, uncontrolled population growth breeds crime, if
we cannot control ourselves then someone will, private firearms will be
a thing of the past in a few years, I still have hope it will change but
current politics and greed in corporate America tells me otherwise.:(

Sorry, amigo, but it wasn't. You'd have a difficult time finding parallels for any of the commandments in the U.S. Constitution. As far as "God's word," I suspect that the many Deist founding fathers would give you some debate over that. As someone who's pretty familiar with both the Bible (to which I assume you're referring) and the U.S. Constitution, I don't see any similarity at all between the documents.

I do agree with you on the inalienable rights and that fact that freedom is a wonderful and necessary thing for God-loving people (since it allows people to exercise their God-given free will).

For what it's worth, as a lawyer who makes constitutional arguments just about daily in the appellate courts, I find the U.S. Constitution to be a whole lot less useful nowadays than our N.M. Constitution. Parts of the U.S. Const. certainly are dead - anyone read the 10th Amendment lately? Certainly no one in the federal government has . . .
 
Can go either way

And by that I don't mean get more free, I mean that we could either get more restrictive (which the immigrants are used to), or stay where we are (which the immigrants are discovering and enjoying). After a taste of freedom (about all we have left), some people aren't going to want to go back into the cage.

If I were a betting man, I would go for more restricitive, over time. It seems the freedom loving people are a dying breed. Always out numbered, we prospered and even dominated for a time, but I fear that time is passing.

Younger members here give me hope, and as long as hope remains, there is a chance. But somedays it seems as if the whole world is against us. Of course, that is what our enemies want us to think.

Yeah. I can get better results for my clients when I rely on the N.M. Constitution. The N.M. Const. affords more rights than the federal one. The federal one is increasingly interpreted to afford fewer and fewer rights, like Kirk said.
 
My wife's family roots run all the way to Nayarit in Mexico. Recently 4 of her aunt's were visiting and one of them asked my wife if I could buy her (the aunt) a gun for self defense. The aunt said I can get them easily since I am white.

My wife knows that this is illegal and I would never do it, but she passed along the message to me all the same. I of course told my wife that I would be breaking MANY laws both here and in Mexico if I tried this and that I have no intention of visiting club Fed because of her aunt.
