What’s both telling and amusing is that many – perhaps most – on the right have come to loath Heller and feel betrayed by Scalia, particularly the ignorant extremists who incorrectly believe the Second Amendment right is ‘absolute.’The States get the right to a Militia, the People get the RKBA.
Commas mean things.
and every judge before Antonin said they meant the opposite of what Antonin made up.
not even the 1st amendment, which the founders saw as probably the cornerstone of democracy, is "absolutely".
this is the problem with rightiwngnuts.
Sorry, Princess, the 2nd Amendment is the cornerstone upon which all other inalienable rights depend.
BS.... the 2nd was to help you DEFEND the government as part of a WELL-ORGANIZED MILITIA.\
it was never intended for a bunch of insane yahoos to use it against the gubmint.... if it were, the only criminal act defined in the constitution wouldn't be treason.
and again, even nutty Scalia said that guns could be regulated.... just not totally banned.
you're welcome.
Sorry Princess, you are consistently UNINFORMED. The ENTIRE CONSTITUTION is a document limiting the power of government. Don't take my word: it begins: WE, THE PEOPLE. I mean, what did they base the founding of the USA on? Breaking away from an unjust, overbearing and tyrannical Empire (the British). And the entire point to America was to see that government never got that much power again. But we got fat, dumb and lazy (like you): it was Benjamin Franklin who said: We have given you a REPUBLIC--- --- --- if you can keep it.
