Libs are jumping all over this latest poll. If you want gun control, run on it! They won’t.

Okay Professor...I guess the Founding Fathers were ignorant to proper grammar, therefore, their ideas, regardless of their intent is to be ignored due to your assessment of sentence structure and other faux paux...
Guess you need to go get a bunch of yer guys and come and take all our guns away, since it was never intended for us to have them in the first place because they didn’t write it up correctly...
Lemme know how that works out for ya...

I did pretty good, excuse me; rather well, in English; so I'm going to throw this out there:
commonsense restrictions on the purchase and possession of guns = infringement. Adding the words "common sense" does not make it any less of a rights violation.

Chicago Tribune’s David McGrath lacks a brain. He hates freedom and rights. Get a life Davy.

“Ask any high school English teacher to parse the Second Amendment”
Ask any liberal government school union teacher and they would parse it to mean teacher pensions need to be doubled.

Right to abortion.
Right to healthcare.
Right to water.
Right to internet.
Right to food.
Right to a “fair” wage.
Right to education.
Right to gay marriage.
Right to sex change operations.
-None of these things appear in the US Constitution.
But liberals keep telling me they do.

As usual the Trib has located an incompetent English teacher to go along with the incompetence of their management and staff.

The city of Chicago isn't fit for birds to fly over and crap on. This idiot can go and frak himself.

No it does NOT mean that the state has a right to form a militia. The right of the PEOPLE, means the individual person every time it is used in the Constitution.

Literally, it means that the American people will retain the right to carry weapons as members of a state militia in order to safeguard their freedom. No it doesn't. And anyone attempting to sell that tripe is too stupid to carry on a serious conversation.

Col.MacCormak (sp?) would have blown up the Tribune Tower ages ago.

The parsing is correct, the understanding of history is not. Whebn the 2nd amendment was drawn, All males, 16 to 60 or some such age were the militia and expected to provide their own firearm of a common pattern.
To: stevie_d_64
That makes no sense at all. There would be no need for an amendment on that basis.
