For too long, the NRA has expended every drop of energy to its pathological demonization of gun control at every turn. Instead of that, and its disgusting meaningless lip service to gun violence victims every time we see another Sandy Hook, the NRA might take after Keene, act like human beings, and use its resources to start participating in some form of rational discussion. I won't hold my breath. |

| There is no such thing as rational discussion with gun banners! |

| NRA publications have posted many articles discussing the meaning of the second amendment. The PROBLEM here is not that the NRA, or other pro-rights organizations, have no definition of the amendment in question, the PROBLEM is that the anti-rights activists and their kin refuse to accept the plain meaning of the words and try to lie, by turning it into some mythical "collective right" by misinterpreting the first clause which mentions a "well-regulated militia." |

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| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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