No, I got that part. You're the one who missed a part -- the whole militia reference. Why do you think the Founding Fathers put that in there -- because it looked cool?

They put it in to try to prevent liars from referring to a "Second amendment right to keep and bear arms for hunting and sporting purposes".

I see. And they had no similar concerns about freedom of speech being used by liars to refer to a "First amendment right to freedom of speech for education purposes"? Or concerns about any of the other amendments?

Nope. I don't buy it. Interesting theory though -- you just made it up?
