Here is a story out today about an apartment complex demanding that all tenants remove all guns or be kicked out:

Outrageous right? A total violation of the constitution!!! Right?
Not so fast.
Time to be Un-schooled from all that garbage you were force fed for 12-16+ years in the government propaganda camps we call public school.
The Constitution of the United States does not address this issue in any way, shape or form.
The Constitution sets out responsibilities and limits of the federal government. Period.
Unless this apartment complex is owned by the federal government the owner of this complex can demand whatever he pleases on his own property.
Uneducated liberals will argue that all day in their effort to disarm the American People.
And that's great! They appear to understand the constitution when it fits their agenda.
But what if the Landlord didn't want unmarried mothers as tenants? "Give up your kids to their father or move out!"
Or what if he didn't want gays? "Keep it in your pants or move out!"
Or alchohol?
or Blacks.
or Hispanics.
or Whites.
or men.
Yes, consistency, thou art a jewel. He has every right under the constitution to pick and choose whoever he wants to rent to. It is his property to do with as he wishes.
Of course as soon as he accepts government grants, loans, housing payments or anything else that all changes. He and his property would then no longer be his to do with as he wishes.
The constitution does not give us any freedom. We already have freedom. The constitution is a wall that the federal government cannot pass through to infringe on those rights.
We have a right to discriminate. We have a right to hate. We also have a right to give. And to love. And to serve. It is our choice. Not the choice of the government. To infringe on those rights tears down the wall the constitution built.
So the unschooling for the day is: The Constitution does not give us any rights. It just names some very important rights in the bill of rights (rights that we already had) to emphasize that the government cannot ever violate those God given rights legally. Interestingly the Bill of Rights is capped off in the tenth amendment (for all the morons who would come in the future...i.e. now) and says all other rights not spelled out in the first nine belong to the states and the people.
I applaud this landlord for illustrating property rights. Now if he called me for pressure washing I'd tell him to kiss my a$$. That would be my right as a business owner. lol.
