Salon article: US founded on gun control? Madison/2nd Amendment meant state militias?

[BS Filter]

Go argue with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

it says so in our Second Amendment; it does not say, the unorganized militia is necessary.

So you think the words of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, George Mason and Patrick Henry are humorous?

it is your fallacy of false cause that I find humorous.

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.

Only well regulated militia are claimed necessary and the unorganized militia must yield to well regulated militia when keeping and bearing Arms for their State or the Union.

You're ignoring the words of Washington, Jefferson, George Mason and Patrick Henry, Great American Patriots. Why are their words humorous to you?

The Constitution is what the Court say it is. Justice Hughes

I agree. However, whatever the USSC says doesn't change the words of our founding fathers.

Ok let's play out this scenario, let's take guns from everyone. New presidential directive, everyone must surrender their guns immediately.

So, all the law abiding citizens load up all of their firearms and takes them to the local police station.

Now, do you feel safer?

Maybe, if all criminals who use a gun now, face the death penalty.
