Michael Dow writes frequently and eloquently in defense of the Second Amendment. I am writing to ask Mr. Dow to kindly explain exactly what, in his view, the Founding Fathers meant by the preambe “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State.” Those are the words of the Second Amendment that precede the words gun rights supporters are so fond of quoting. Mr. Dow asserts that the Constitution is a static document that must be taken word for word exactly as written. OK, then. Please explain those words, if the Founding Fathers witnessed a nutcase firing a sporting weapon into a crowd, they would consider that to be poorly regulated. |

| Of course, we ALL know that in the Founders' time, there were no murderers or other criminals, because it was utopia back then. (/sarcasm) |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
