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 |
| 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] |
