Are you able to own, buy, sell, trade, or build a firearm? What right are you lacking? Whom is unable to defend themselves, family, or property?

Ah, you have nothing to defend yourself with against the established fact of conservative bigotry against gays and lesbians, so you bring up something else so off topic it's in another county.

In all states in this country? No. Next question.

When they stop defining "rights" as "things liberals want done".

This thread isn't about LGBT rights, this thread is about Liberals and their selective use of majority support therefore my comments are 100% on topic. Please feel free to catch up with us and reality at any time.

I choose my own definition... based on the meaning of "equality" and "discrimination".

Here's a clue: it's much easier to use the actual meanings of words AND THINK FOR YOURSELF than it is to let SCOTUS think for you and then try to explain the logical blind alleys you're stuck in.

And I am discussing the liberal support of minorities. But in response to my answer to the "liberal hypocrisy" accusation relative to LGBT minority rights, you suddenly started babbling about guns.

BTW, in what state are you unable to buy, sell, trade or use guns?

However, often times, liberals like to selectively cite polls where the majority support their cause. For example, they often referenced majority support for higher income taxes on the rich, gun control, etc.

Why is it that liberals are so selective in determining when majority opinion is important or not?
Its whatever fits their PC, feel good, set of rules.

Thanks for proving this thread to be true. You support the Supreme Court and you cite their decision as law that should be respected... until Citizens United comes up and then liberals love to attack the Supreme Court.
