I believe that the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is one of those provisions, like the Electoral College and the District of Columbia, which may have made sense in colonial America, but is obsolete today. The second amendment says: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." |

| NO NO NO it is not about hunting period. it is there to try to keep an unruly gov. in line. God help us if it ever comes to that win or lose life as we know will never be the same. if it is obsolete then outlaw printing presses, censor freedom of speech and how many other amendments |

| The electoral college balances regional interests. Don't think I'd like the metros deciding to ban using lead as a fishing weight in my country home pond, or that wolves were beneficial around my sheep ranch, or San Francisco deciding I needed to pay taxes in Alabama to support murdering the unborn. Bad enough as is, worst if we eliminate time honored balances. |

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| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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) |
