What’s the meaning of “militia?”

That would make the amendment essentially meaningless. It would simply assure that those who are in a sense part of the government can carry weapons, which is the case everywhere.

“Emotional claims that . . . . distort intelligent debate

Ah yes. When a Lib loses the argument, its because emotional claims are distorting intelligent debate. If the yahoos would calm down and listen to reason, we'd all agree that banning guns is smart!!

Nominated to the Supreme Court by a RINO...

The Libs may want to be careful about tampering with the Constitution. It can cut both ways...

Love the way ‘they’ all claim the 2nd is ‘poorly written, hard to understand, not meant the way it was written, yesterdays ‘words’ and meanings don’t equate to today’s times’, etc....
(I truly believe the last one...(yesterday’s words) GAY...)

Now I may start to consider taking some of these guys(gals/its) seriously once they show me the CLEAR INTENT that Abortion, Same sex marriage etal are ‘spelled out’ or even hinted at.

My right to bear arms is pretty much spelled out in the 2nd even if I grant it may not be entirely clear
BUT
Show me in the 1st any or even a couple of the ‘claims’ they make as gospel.

“Emotional claims that the right to possess deadly weapons is so important that it is protected by the federal Constitution distort intelligent debate about the wisdom of particular aspects of proposed legislation designed to minimize the slaughter caused by the prevalence of guns in private hands,” Stevens writes in his defense of the change.

Slaughter is what happens when the people aren't armed. For reference, look up various Communist regimes of the 20th century.

Let's not get stuck on stupid. The Bill of Rights covers protection as a whole....i.e., includes all people and includes an obligation.

But, there's more...shooting game, protecting home and family...

It's a Natural Right!!! Stop pretending the Constitution covers all natural rights. They stand alone.

The left will not be happy until you are disarmed, and unable to speak your mind. They want little pawns they can move around at their whim.

This is why we prefer our SCOTUS to stick to interpreting, and not rewriting, the Constitution. Spare us the emanations from penumbras.

(sigh) I miss the old days.

Stevens argues that the authors of the Second Amendment were mostly concerned about being oppressed by a national standing army, not so much about the right to self-defense.

Bull****!

Stevens can blow it out his senile, old...!!!

No way in H E double hockey-sticks.

I will fight for it to stay exactly as it is. No gun grabbing socialist/communist changes. Our guns protect us from the slimes who would have us on our knees.

Why not just change it to..... The right to bear arms shall be determined solely by the whims of whoever is in power and gun liberties can only be taken away and never given back.

When only the government and its agents can possess/use firearms, you have, by definition, a police state. The issue really is that simple.

I don’t care if the whole amendment is repealed.

I still have a God-given right to effectively defend myself against those more-numerous, more-powerful and less-principled than myself.

Every human being ever born had that right.

Those choking their lungs out in the showers of the Reich had that right; they just didn’t have the means to exercise it.
