I would like to see Cuomo explain one of the powers vested in the Congress in article 1, section 8 of the constitution. Specifically, I referred to the power that Congress has to issue letters of Marque and Reprisal. These specifically empower Congress to authorize individuals or groups of individuals to sees enemy merchant ships and warships. By all logical necessity, putting such a clause in the constitution must mean that individuals possessed weapons capable of taking on enemy warships, such as ships with multiple cannon. FWIW, cannon were the WMD of that era. I don’t know how anybody with even a modest amount of logic and a modest knowledge of history could possibly misunderstand the implication of that clause in the Constitution. When you put that together with the avowed purpose of the entire bill of rights, which was to make everybody certain that the government that was being created could not legally infringe upon certain basic rights, you come to the On alterable conclusion that the second amendment was put into the bill of rights to specifically protect the ability of individual citizens to protect their liberty from the government that had just been created, and also to be able to give real meaning to the Because in the main body of the constitution dealing with letters of Marque and Reprisal.
Only an utter moron, or a lying, power hungry SOB, could come to a different conclusion. I know for a fact that Cuomo falls into at least one of those categories.
