To: elbucko

Just to show you I'm not compeletely heartless, I'll give you this last opportunity to back away. To help you out, let's take a look at how you misrepresented what I said and then misrepresented the Constitution:

Me (paraphrasing): "What if we found written evidence that the 2nd Amendment was intended to preserve a state's right to maintain a militia?"

You (paraphrasing): "What?! What!? The Constitution says nothing about states' rights! Nothing, I tell you!"

Synopsys: Note how Mr. Elbucko substitutes the concept of "states' rights" for my phrase "a state's right." What a foolish thing to do! Moreover, Mr. Elbucko has apparently forgotten the 10th Amemdment, which speaks of powers delegated to the states, and implicitly supports the idea that the states do have "rights" (call them legitimate powers, if you like) under the Constitution.

See? And we haven't even gotten to the part where my analogy floats inches over your head!
