This is what it says:
“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.”
People have different ideas about how our founders’ original intent should be interpreted for today. More thoughts on that another time.
Today, have a just couple of things to say.
1. I just heard that a two-year-old baby sitting in a shopping cart in a store reached into his mother’s purse, pulled out a loaded weapon, fired it, and killed his mother. The founding fathers could never have imagined.
2. I don’t get it about “concealed” weapons. If you carry a gun, I want to see it in a holster on your hip. Concealing muskets certainly did not occur to the founders.
I can’t say that either one of the pictures above makes me feel safe. And I’m really glad this guy doesn’t live next door to me. I don’t want to think about what might happen were I to go out in my back yard and make a racket chasing away a raccoon in the middle of the night.
And the Supreme Court has never ruled on a case based on the Second Amendment and an individual’s right to own a gun. Never. Check it out. You won’t find it.
So what does this mean?
