Rineer is apparently unaware of or simply ignores the introductory words of the Second Amendment, a condition to the right to bear arms: “A well-regulated militia being necessary…..” Few people would repeal the Second Amendment or object to guns intended for self-defense or hunting, but assault weapons, armor-piercing bullets, high capacity magazines, and accessories to create a machinegun are clearly intended only for killing. Lily-livered legislators and the NRA enable domestic terrorism. |

Mr. Swaim is misinformed on the purpose of the Second Amendment. The reason for guaranteeing the right is to preserve the people's ability to form militias.
In 1939, the Supreme Court ruled in U.S. v. Miller that only arms "in common use" that have "some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia" and/or are "any part of the ordinary military equipment" are those within the ambit of Second Amendment protection. The arms Mr. Swaim misrepresents as "assault weapons" (real assault weapons are select-fire, and capable of firing full auto) are precisely the types of arms the Miller precedent declared are protected.
His opinion is the product of leftist indoctrination not a true knowledge of history. |

TO REMEMBER |
| In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all — security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again. — EDWARD GIBBON [On ancient Athens] |
