[Roscoe]

qoute from a Founder on the reasoning behind having a Second Amendment

The 2nd Amendment hadn't even been written when the comment was made, and it doesn't say anything about state regulation of firearms being barred.

Two swings, two misses, too predictable.

Federalist Tench Coxe, in a widely republished article, described what would become the Second Amendment this way:
"As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people, duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which shall be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow-citizens, the people are confirmed by the next article in their right to keep and bear their private arms." From the Emerson decision.

Sorry Roscoe. You lose again. Are you having trouble with the whole definition of inviolatable, unalienable, uninfringable Rights? How many f%cking ways does it need to be stated? State, Federal, even a King would not be able to take such an inherent Right away.

Of course, you have to admit that only if you are NOT a little Hitler tyrant wanna-be like yourself. Go away Nazi.
