Hentoff seems to be one of the very few leftist voices with a clear understanding of the US Constitution. Yet, I cannot find anything written by him about his position on the 2nd Amendment.

I spoke to Hentoff about the 2nd Amendment when he was a guest speaker at University of Dayton several years ago. He doesn't support it. I wish he did, he'd be an excellent advocate.

Ping to this excellent and rational article.

Did he have a grounds for not supporting it?

Hentoff was a former president of the ACLU; that said, he is, at times, quite critical of that bunch of pinko vermin. But if he doesn't support the entire Bill of Rights, then he is just another enemy of freedom in my book. Its the same old lefty crap - the "1st and the 4th are all that we need". Morons, morons, morons the whole rotten, leftist cabal. Even the early socialists knew that an armed cadre was the only way to protect freedom. The pen is only "mightier than the sword" in just societies.
