Kirk Russell And Others Put The Second Amendment In Proper Perspective

[Tennyson]

When the states established the constitution, they gave a very small, limited set of powers to the general government. These are listed in article I, section 8. If one looks at the powers listed there, one won't find the power to control guns.

In Presser v. Illinois, the Supreme Court also found a right to own a firearm in Article I, Section 8, Clause 15.

That depends on what you mean by saying they don't work

Who is Kirk Russell?

This thread is still going? And they still do not get it. Gives me a much needed goggle.
