The second ammendment doesn't talk about states, it mentions "the people". If our government and courts actually understood the importance of putting it in the constitution as worded, we wouldn't be having this debate.

And Chuck Shumer would be a pimple on NY's ass, but he has this to say:

Today, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer released the following statement on the defeat of the Thune Amendment July 22, 2009 “Lives have been saved with the defeat of this amendment. This measure, if it had passed, would have done more to threaten the safety of Americans than anything since the repeal of the assault weapons ban. It would have created havoc for law enforcement and endangered the safety of millions of Americans. We will remain vigilant to prevent any legislation like this from passing in the future.” U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer

The bold section illustrates the big LIE. This senator is a LIAR. Even if every person carried a gun, there is NO WAY possible that anywhere near a million people would have their 'safety' endangered, in FACT, millions would actually have their 'safety' enhanced. That's the GD Lie that these traitors get away with and it needs to be exposed.

Let me respond with something I said in another thread about this.

Say this amendment did pass....hooray!!!!! We can carry anywhere we want if the law in that state has a CCW provision!!! YAY!!!!!

Congress then comes along and says...."You know, there are too many variations among the states for CCW....we can do better. And since we are going to write the uniform laws for the nation, maybe we should have the records of those who have permits now and determine by OUR standards if they should be allowed to carry. Maybe we should know what they are carrying and have some way to track that weapon and ammunition."

Now, you MIGHT think I'm being a little paranoid. If history has taught us anything, government that wants to 'help', usually wants control.
