Then you have to define 'lobbying'.

A person/corporation/group trying to influence legal matters without being actual politicians.

Historically, it has been mainly petitions and things like that. But now, businesses just use it as a flimsy pretext for bribery. What I meant when I said it should be illegal, I meant the monetary kind. This can lead to decisions that are not for the good of the people, but for the good of the corporation

Perry Mason | Your suggestion of making lobbying illegal is not Constitutional. So it would not stand up in court. | image tagged in perry mason | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

After all, it is just bribing. So why shouldn't it be illegal?

No, the way to stop it is by preventing them from doing it in the first place

Prevent them from passing laws that already exist? How is the weather on the moon?

Prevent them from making people think that guns are somehow essential to freedom

Classic fallacy. Attacking the person perpetuating the argument instead of attacking the argument itself, or even providing a counterargument

If you don't understand why the first and second amendments are first and second, then you are either uneducated or retarded.

I tend not to give people the benefit of the doubt (fewer let downs that way)

There is no way an armed populace can overthrow a tyrannical government if they don't have the support of the army. The hunger games is fiction

The reason the first amendment is first is because freedom is a human right. The second is second because they were alive in a time where guns were necessary for survival. Not the case. And, if guns are so essential to freedom, please explain how

The second is to defend against tyranny, which they had firsthand knowledge of (necessary to a free state, the ONLY time the word "necessary" is used in the bill of rights)

As I said, either uneducated or retarded....in your case, it looks like both.
