It’s a tradition as old as yellow journalism, “Bash the Second Amendment” week, and it was off to a vigorous start with last night’s debut of “Under the Gun,” touted as a “documentary” hosted by Katie Couric and broadcast on Epix.
The press seems to relish in doing gun control stories in the week leading up to the annual convention of the National Rifle Association. The NRA gathers this coming weekend in Louisville, and in addition to the Couric program, there’s an anti-gun opinion piece in today’s Seattle Times from Jerry Large, and another column in today’s Daily Californian that will infuriate Second Amendment activists.
The last time this column discussed this tradition, we called it “Bash the NRA Week.” But it’s not just that single organization under attack these days. Gun prohibitionists have dropped all pretense, attacking the Second Amendment, itself, and the much broader “gun lobby” that includes the Second Amendment Foundation, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Gun Owners of America and all the state and local gun clubs, plus tens of millions of gun owners not affiliated with any group, but who cherish their right to own and use firearms.
In the Daily Californian, writer Jaskrit Bhalla Shifa, described as “a member of the greater Bay Area community,” wonders, “whether or not the ability for American citizens to obtain guns should be allowed because of safety, as well as various interpretations of the Second Amendment of the Constitution.” Second Amendment advocates would tell Shifa that there is only one interpretation that counts, the one handed down by the Supreme Court in June 2008.
Shifa further contends, “The Second Amendment does not say anywhere that each individual has the right to bear arms and exclusively states that this right pertains to militias.

Re: “Why do you use MSN.com as your homepage?”
Loading time isn’t really an issue. Five or ten seconds at most.
I always open Microsoft Outlook first for my email (which can be slow sometimes), so I’m already on the Microsoft Network.
Politically, MSN.com is All Left, All The Time, but its homepage has excellent news capsules on all the major stories of the day.
Lol...when you’re left of the 9th Circus on guns, you’re left of just about anyone. Strange that she was even quoted, given her unknown and completely unaccomplished status.
Not really, just liberal bias in action - it's a blurb from the new mockumentary hosted by Katie Couric.
Looking forward to seeing a sea of green on that map one day soon...
But the first is unenforceable without the second.
Which simply acknowledges the need for and desirability of a citizen militia. It says nothing that limits the right to the militia. Any "C" student in English can tell you that.
No good. The words undue and unjust are subject to interpretation, and you know how leftists would interpret them.
"The right to own and use their weapons may not be taken away from them or have regulations placed upon their rights to own, use and carry them where they desire" works better.
Even freed criminals and crazies have the right to self defense. If they shouldn't be armed, they shouldn't be running around loose.
Excellent Points. Keep the ‘weasel’ words as few as possible.
Actually ‘Regulated’ at the time of the revolution meant ‘drilled’. So a well regulated militia would be a well drilled as to the militia would be made regular or Uniform in their performance.
