Atrios says that if lefties want to fire people up about gun control, they need to get more passionate about it:
To inspire hardcore single issue voters you have to take an absolutist stance on things. I’m not saying this is good politics….Still, there is literally no politician who goes on teevee and says, “the courts won’t allow it right now, but if it were up to me I’d put the well-regulated back in the 2nd amendment and make it extremely difficult for people to own most kinds of guns, and we should work long term to appoint judges who have a more reasonable view of what our constitution plainly says.” |

MarkHamTownsend, regardless of which connotation is applied to the term "well regulated", grammatically it modifies the noun "militia", not the noun "right" nor the noun, "people". According to that sentence, it is militias that are intended to be "well regulated", not the individuals' right to bear arms.
Therefore Kevin's philistine argument that the latter is intended to be "well regulated" is absurd on its face. |

True Phorto.
I didn't have time to post a longer comment. Plus to be honest I am sick and tired of this clearly WRONG interpretation of "well regulated militia."
We are in danger of losing the language....this is only one sympton.
And we will lose our rights too, if it continues. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
