I support the Second Amendment.
Despite what you may hear, almost everyone does.
That’s because it is part of the Constitution, and it would be hard to find any American who does not support the Constitution. It contains seven original articles and 27 amendments, and virtually every American supports all still in effect — including the Second Amendment. |

These "I support the Second Amendment" yahoos don't get the main point: Laws that they say will impede loonies and criminals from getting their hands on guns fail miserably in achieving their stated purpose, but they DO impede peaceable, law-abiding citizens from getting THEIR hands on them.
And that is an unacceptable prior restraint on a fundamental right.
I've been diligently searching for over half-a-century, but I still can't find "but" or "except" in the Second Amendment. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
