The same Congress that passed the Second Amendment also reauthorized the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, containing this language: “Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.” Act of Aug. 7, 1789, ch. 8, 1 Stat. 50, 52. But nobody would seriously contend that were religion, morality, or knowledge one day found unnecessary for good government, schools should no longer be encouraged in the states of the former Northwest Territory.

Hey, Bobby, paying any attention?

He knows all of this already. Most of it has been pointed out to him before and his pointy little nose rubbed in it.

He doesn't care. He dare not admit to anything along these lines or his whole house of anti-RKBA cards comes crashing down.

"But nobody would seriously contend that were religion, morality, or knowledge one day found unnecessary for good government, schools should no longer be encouraged in the states of the former Northwest Territory."

First of all, where's the moron who would seriously contend that religion, morality, or knowledge were unnecessary for good government?

Idiotic supposition with a lamebrain conclusion.
