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. |

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"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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