“I am a fan of the Second Amendment. I am a firearms enthusiast. I’m a hunter. I enjoy target shooting. I also believe the Constitution of the United States gives us the right to keep and bear arms,” Lee said.
Once and for all, GUDDAMMIT, the Constitution does not GIVE us the right to bear arms, it GUARANTEES it.
He really thinks he's on the "right side," while accepting that transient opinion is the origin of liberty, and conceding that it is subject to majoritarian impulses.
"Living Constitution," anyone?
Well, you ain't on the right side until you actually understand the first founding principle of our country. Believing that it is the written word that endows basic rights ain't it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
