lessee...second amendment..
Ah here it is.
No? Nothing in it about deer hunting.
It says the rights of the people to keep and bear arms should not be infringed?
Odd.(sarc)
Excellent piece! Just what was Glenn thinking, anyway? Or is this the result of pressure by the Clinton News Network?
You lie down with dogs......
Yeah, but it means "The right of states to have militias shall not be infringed." Those Founding Fathers had trouble expressing themselves clearly, you know.
Glenn's on vacation (doing an on the road show.) All his staff are probably with him.
In the past, on his radio show, when he had a guest commentator fill in, he doesn't edit their show to reflect his views.
I imagine it's the same thing here. Whoever the guest filling in for him was, they were responsible for their own material.
I maybe wrong, but that's what I'm guessing.
its Anti-gun...... NOT ANTIGUAN.......I read looking for info on sunny island nation of Antigua....pronounced AN TEE GA :-)
No, no it does not.
it specifically says the right of the PEOPLE!!!!
It is to defend oneself from governments who are out of control, either from the outside or from within.
court precedents, and legal and historical interpretation, that all able-bodied persons, explicitly those between the ages of 17 and 45, are members of the Federal unorganized militia, except members of the organized state guards (for example, State Defense Forces which exist in about two dozen states), the National Guards of the various states (which also serve as a part of the National Guard of the United States, a military reserve subject to nationalization by the President of the United States), and certain government officials. An "organized citizen militia" must be created under the constitution itself and/or the laws of a state.
the individual right to own firearms is guaranteed by the Constitution, but the right to own firearms is not at all dependent upon the militia clause. The militia clause of the Second Amendment merely adds to the reason for the right, which is a common law right rooted in the right of protection of self, family and community.
and every "strict constructionist" (you know, conservative?) constitutional scholar who interprets the 2nd amendment feels that way.
Now if you are a "living constitution" advocate, like the Dims, you take the opposing view.
which one are YOU?
I'm anti- guano. It stinks, and is unhealthy and unsanitary. Much like CNN.
I personally am Anti-Guano.
gotta scrape it right off your shoes.
HA I beat you!!
yeah you did.
That's the trigger finger baby! reccanize. :^)
oh my trigger finger is limber and deadly.
its my typin' fingers that are slow as guano.
"Yeah, but it means "The right of states to have militias shall not be infringed." Those Founding Fathers had trouble expressing themselves clearly, you know."
They generally were pretty clear and the meaning is not what you indicate above.
- A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Yeah, I'm still chicken peckin after all these years too.
I think Grut said that tongue in cheek.
If a person of middle eastern descent wants to buy a "high powered bushmaster (assault rifle)" a red flag should go up?
If a strung out black gangsta rappah type comes in and wants to buy a "44-caliber Magnum (assault) handgun", a red flag should go up?
If any black person wants to buy a "44-caliber Magnum (assault) handgun" a red flag should go up?
If any person wants to buy a "44-caliber Magnum (assault) handgun" a red flag should go up?
If John Kerry comes in wantin' to git hisself an (assault) shotgun so's he can git hisself some geese, a red flag should go up?
Where will this guy stop planting his little red flags?
Or does he really intend to plant just one big red flag?
Who needs to go hunting?
Arm Everyone.
