Waste of time for me - I live in RI, land of the "lets outlaw all capguns."
To: Mulder
Is there a site where we can find the names of all members of the caucus? I am sure many FR readers beside myself would like to know if our congress critter is in the caucus, and if not, why not.

Pat Toomey Who was just defeated in the Pennsylvania senate primary by RINO Arlen Specter, and who will likely honor his term limit pledge and step down after this congressional session. Bye Pat. :-(

"...this caucus is solely dedicated to the right of lawful individuals to own firearms as granted in the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution."
The Second Amendment does not grant the right. It affirms the right and prohibits the government from messing with it. It certainly does not limit it to "lawful" individuals.

I'm certainly happy to see such a caucus in the congress. But I must disagree with one thing in the original post. It said "rights GRANTED by the Second Amendment". The right to keep and bear arms was seen to be granted by God, and guaranteed by the Second Amendment, as are all the other rights enumerated in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. An important distinction, I believe.
To: Mulder
Washington, DC: Today, Congressmen Marilyn Musgrave (CO-04) and Virgil Goode (VA-05) announced the creation of the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus. Comprised of 38 Members of Congress, this caucus is solely dedicated to the right of lawful individuals to own firearms as granted in the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. About time

"The Second Amendment does not grant the right. It affirms the right and prohibits the government from messing with it. It certainly does not limit it to "lawful" individuals."Well said and of course 100% correct. You would get an A+ in my American Government class, had you raised this point in a class discussion. My students never seem to get it, because the eleven years of prior brain washing seems to have taken root.
