Somewhere in West Virginia, or at a cocktail party of the New York Times editorial board, a conservative Democrat or “NeverTrump” Republican is looking at this article’s headline and thinking, “Oh no! Don’t say that. That’s exactly what the Trump people want you to say!” It has become an axiomatic feature of political gravity that we cannot have a frontal and honest conversation about the Second Amendment because it will whip ammo-sexuals into a frenzy and cause them to vote Republican.

The Nation? Really? Katrina vanden Heuvel's communist rag?
Please.
Memo to vanden Heuvel (et al): "The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose'. This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence." - U.S .v Cruikshank (1875) |

Badly mangled, indeed... by the anti gunners. Read the State Constitution provisions that existed at the time the US Constitution was ratified: the intent of the 2nd Amendment is clearly an individual Right!
DE - "A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use."
ME - "Every citizen has a right to keep and bear arms and this right shall never be questioned."
NH - "All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property and..."
PA - "The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves ... shall not be questioned."
RI - "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
