“I am a fan of the Second Amendment. I am a firearms enthusiast. I’m a hunter. I enjoy target shooting. I also believe the Constitution of the United States gives us the right to keep and bear arms,” Lee said.
Once and for all, GUDDAMMIT, the Constitution does not GIVE us the right to bear arms, it GUARANTEES it.
He really thinks he's on the "right side," while accepting that transient opinion is the origin of liberty, and conceding that it is subject to majoritarian impulses.
"Living Constitution," anyone?
Well, you ain't on the right side until you actually understand the first founding principle of our country. Believing that it is the written word that endows basic rights ain't it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
