What the NRA won't tell you

What America’s gun fanatics won’t tell you

This article proves once and for all that the Supreme Court screwed up massively in its 2008 Heller vs. D.C decision. The supreme court back then featured justice Antonin Scalia, who is now dead and gone (and good riddance.)

Read what Alexander Hamilton wrote about the "well regulated militia." He said that the militia should be trained, uniformed, have a clear rank structure, monthly drills, and an oath of enlistment. The only difference from a regular army would be that the members of the militia would not be soldiers 24/7, but only when called up to duty or on drill.

The article correctly states that the "well regulated militia" that our founding fathers envisioned was nothing more than the National Guard.

Let's take a look at the second amendment again in this light. The second amendment says that because a well regulated militia is vital to national security, the PEOPLE as a WHOLE have a right to bear arms, just like the people AS A WHOLE have a right to make government decisions. Obviously,common citizens don't vote on international treaties or the national budget, but they exercise their right through voting representatives who then vote on these issues. In the same way, the people exercise their second amendment rights by enlisting in, supporting, or paying taxes to help fund the national guard.

Thankfully, Scalia, who wrote the decision of Heller vs Dc, has kicked the bucket. He will soon be replaced by a Supreme Court Justice of Hillary Clinton's choosing. Although Clinton unfortunately has bought into the nra propaganda that there is "an individual right to bear arms," hopefully the justices she appoints are not misguided, and end up revoking Heller vs. DC.

The second amendment talks about the national guard. If you are a current member of the national guard, you are a member of the well regulated militia. If not, you have no individual right to bear arms, and the supreme court screwed up when it said you did.

USSC ruled and they were correct!

Excellently written propaganda piece. Congratulation. However ... The 2nd amendment doesn't say that you have to be a member of anything to bear arms. Also it says nothing about the national guard. Scalia was correct.

Once again, we have to spell it out.

10 U.S. Code § 311 - Militia: composition and classes

10 U.S. Code § 311 - Militia: composition and classes

You support the state having the monopoly on violence...and that has never worked out for the little people....just ask the Mexican citizens across our border who are being murdered every day in the thousands by the police, military and their drug cartel masters....

The 2nd Amendment does not protect the militia's right to arms....it protects the ''Peoples" right to arms.......that you guys willfully misread that shows you are not interested in the truth, you only want to disarm law abiding people because you don't like guns...

The Constitution exists solely in the context of its case law, as determined by the Supreme Court, including the Second Amendment.

And it is a fact of Constitutional law, settled, accepted, and beyond dispute, that the Second Amendment recognizes an individual right to possess a firearm, pursuant to the right of self-defense.

Moreover, Clinton appointees to the Supreme Court will not seek to ‘overturn’ Heller/McDonald, which they also consider to be settled, accepted, and beyond dispute.

No matter on what side of this issue one falls, the topic is so hackneyed as to be now trite. Zzzzz

You have no idea what you are saying...they are just waiting to get their first case with a left wing court...

You seem to have forgotten the 10th Amendment (and Constitution as a whole) which grants limited powers to the federal government. Thus the federal government has no authority to infringe on the right to bear arms.

One problem: The 2nd does not say this.

In effect, you argue the people who wrote and ratified the 2nd believed "the people" had a right to a firearm for service in the militia, but not for for their own individual protection or that of their homes and family.

There is absolutely no primary source material to support such madness.

Not only did I read it, I responded to it in full, negating its premise.
