Now you've crossed over into the silly. I never said that gangbangers (or anyone) MUST be allowed to carry any firearm, anywhere, nor do I think so.

First off, a high-percentage of 'gang bangers' are prohibited from possessing a firearm, due to criminal history. Felons have given up their voting rights, and their Second Amendment rights. So if your average gang banger shows up somewhere and starts waiving his Hi-Point 9mm around, he's (probably) committed a crime before he even clears leather (or waistband) with it - felon in possession of a firearm. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Second, a person's or business' private property rights trumps one's right to carry, IMO. If an establishment has a 'no firearms' policy, then I don't go there, or if I must, my firearm is safely secured elsewhere. IMO, the Second Amendment is to keep the government from taking the citizenry's guns, and as such, has no bearing on a private party's on-premises prohibition of guns.

What is the point of rules that are not enforced?

Riana:

It might help if we resolved the Constitutional matter of "shall not infringe." Does this mean that gangbangers MUST be allowed to carry AK47s and rocket launchers to rap concerts, or is some wiggle room allowed?
