“The United States is in desperate need of a new Second Amendment, one that recognizes the fundamentally different views people today have about guns, their role in society, and our rights as citizens.”
How about we leave the law the way it was written.
There are people chomping at the bit to rewrite the entire Constitution I remember seeing a new version back around 1968, I believe it was in ESQUIRE magazine. There was NO right to bear arms, and the office of President would be called “Chairman”.
State passes legislation making all adult citizens who speak fluent English automatically members of the state second amendment militia unless they adopt out.
Such legislation authorizes any kind of weapons which would be available to a combat platoon in the United State Army; together with unlimited ammo.
Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas are good places to start.
Well, at least there are two of us on the same page. I’ll be in my fighting hole one over from you.
“We keep our rights, you sit down and shut up.”
Better: We keep our rights, you sit down, shut up or die.
I don’t think they’re gonna like it !!
I’m at your 3 o’clock
The 2nd doesn’t give us the right to bear arms - it acknowledges the inherent right and expounds on why a government, that may need to be replaced, cannot remove the obstacles presented by a free and armed society.
Hear, hear!
