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 |
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
