"I totally agree that everyone who wants a gun should have one. I do not agree that anyone who owns a gun should use it to shoot someone. Every crime involving the use of a gun, from robbery — without even firing a shot — all the way to murder, should be labeled a hate crime and the perp should receive a mandatory no-parole life sentence. If we are so enraptured by the wording of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — in the same way, perhaps, ISIS is committed to the strict, narrow-minded interpretation of the Koran — let's stick to the strict wording of the Second Amendment and force the creation a well-regulated militia." ... |

Unfortunately, the supply of idiots who understand neither our First Principles nor common sense as determined by logic is prolific.
1) A militia is VOLUNTARY, not FORCED.
2) The right to arms is individual, God-given, and independent of service in any militia.
3) The 2a grammatically states that because an armed populace is necessary for the ability of the states to form militias to protect their security and liberty interests, the (preexisting) right of THE PEOPLE (not the government, of any level) to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
4) The U.S. Supreme Court recognized in 1875 that the right to bear arms for a lawful purpose exists independent of the Constitution.
The ignorance of this author is staggering. |
