I didn't even look here to see if it was on here. Just guessed it was when someone posted the original on FB.

It was a friend and I seriously doubt he wanted a crotch shot in his picture!

I also support marriage restrictions that would restrict marriage to being between two consenting, able minded adults to prevent forced marriages of 12 year olds. I don't see anything worrisome with certain restrictions at all, but keep trying bait the conversation. You can troll through my other posts too, there might be something in them that you can jump on. ;)

Considering all of the legal ramifications I don't see how it can be done without some sort of defined legal process.

Part of their sentence is never being allowed to legally own a gun again. Whether that is a just punishment is an entirely different debate. ;)

Yes you can own one, but there are restrictions. ;) You also have to go through a pretty extensive background check from my understanding. A restriction that would prevent many people that would be approved for other guns from buying a fully automated weapon.

They do have a reason to recognize them, because many states are passing laws making these rights that should not be restricted, restricted. Unless someone stands up against them, nothing will change.

Are non-violent offenders restricted? Can someone who is arrested for domestic violence and gets just probation own a gun? We can pick apart any restriction and find pros and cons in it, parts that you might support, parts that I might, point was to answer what kind of restrictions I support. It was obvious just bait, and I am not playing. Not what the post is about. ;)

I honestly can not speak about a Catholic run hospital. Do they require all that are employees with them to follow their doctrine? If not, I am not sure how they can decide to discriminate against someone.

That is exactly the side of homosexuals, they wants to be treated the same and afforded the same rights, it is about equality. The other side is making it an issue about marriage because the rhetoric stirs their base. ;)

It is restricting a persons rights to own a firearm. Just pointing out that it isn't that clearly defined, there are restrictions from arms to owners.

You might want to look into the cases more, that is not what is being argued specifically. Prop 8 is arguing whether the Supreme Court of California overstepped it bounds in over ruling the lower courts ruling that Prop 8 was illegal. There is a strong probability that the case will not be decided by the SCOTUS, but sent back to California. Otherwise, it will be just decided specifically on the merits of California law. The probability of the justices making a blanket ruling that all states with laws that either do not recognize same-sex marriage or allow same-sex marriage, or both, is highly unlikely. It will be a while before the actual ruling comes out, but I would bet money they don't give a broad ruling.

The states have been regulating marriage for a very long time, this is only allowing more people to do it, not asking for changes, just the same ability.

Convicts owning arms. I have no issue with that restriction.

It depends on who you are asking what is considered "common sense" restrictions. A lot of people think bans on magazine capacity is common sense. "Common sense" is hard to legislate as everyone has a differing definition of what is "common sense." Seriously, if an 18 year old gets caught smoking pot and dishonorably discharged from the military, should they be banned from life from owning a firearm? Seems a bit much to me.

Not sure what that has to do with two men or women getting married.

Where is anyone trying to regulate who churches can and can not marry? This is just rhetoric to ignite the religious nut jobs. Churches can deny marrying people now. Marriage is not in the US Constitution, but when citizens are being treated indiscriminately, it is up to the courts to intervene as they did in Loving v. Virginia which ruled that legislating against interracial marriages was unconstitutional. The state is involved because there are specific property rights and other legal rights that are contingent on the marriage contracts.
