“….the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
To Infringe is to act so as to limit or undermine (something). While Bucks County District Attorney may not mean to limit the rights of people by his latest program to give out locks which effectively dis-able a gun until the lock is removed, his intention has run afoul of the United States Constitution’s Second Amendment.
The State of Pennsylvania was where the U.S. Constitution was written in 1787 but unfortunately is is also where many government violations of it happen.
The Pennsylvania Constitution states in Article I, section 21: “The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.” No one can defend themselves or the state with a locked weapon.
If a citizen wants to disable their weapon no one should stop them but when the government want’s to give them the means to do it it’s unconstitutional according to both constitutions. All of the talk about safety and the prevention of accidental discharges doesn’t invalidate the prohibitions under which government has been placed.
