Virginia Republicans contrived reading of the Second Amendment supports their insistence on an ever-expanding acceptance of guns. Under the false banner of “guns save lives,” they oppose any compromise. Despite broadly accepted and long-standing laws that regulate alcohol, cars and drugs, they reject common-sense regulation. Disregarding newly created state laws, there are movements to create Second Amendment sanctuaries and militias throughout our rural counties that ignore the existence of structures to maintain law and order. |

| Last I looked, alcohol, drugs and cars are not specifically mentioned in the Bill of Rights. |

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| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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