>Can you give a short explanation for the role that ‘Letters of Marque and Reprisal’ would play in a 2nd Amendment debate?
A letter of marque and Reprisal is government authorization targeting [marking] an individual or group for punishment [reprisal]; similar, in concept, to a “Wanted” poster.
One option after 11 Sep was to use such letters against al Queda / Taliban; Ron Paul suggested that it would be more affordable than a war/military-operation.
Okay. I see the connection. Thanks.
