Just read the damn words, fool. The meaning has not changed.
I've heard libertarians argue that the 2nd ammendment, if it was truly followed, would allow people to carry guns on airplanes. This would be a "good thing" because then nobody would dare start a fuss with armed passengers on board.. sounds dumb to me but I sort-of see the reasoning.

But personally, I don't give a rip about the 2nd ammendment. If our "right to bear arms" is supposed to protect us from the goverment, it hasn't done a very good job so far. The goverment has more power than ever, and drug gangs and other criminals have more firepower than ever. The average Joe gets taxed by the gov't and worries about armed lunatics of all kinds. Great.

Perhaps you would be so kind as to enumerate the ones that you do “give a rip about” so that we sheep can adjust our thinking to more closely match yours. I did not know that it was a “pick your favorite and screw the rest” kind of thing.

Silly, 911 happened because some of the passengers WERE armed.

The law-abiding passengers were illegally UNARMED. Further, the advice from the government has been to cooperate with the bad guys. Great policies and great advice.

I checked your FReep page and you are asking others to support the First Amendment and are now damning the Second Amendment. What a hypocrite.


Stay safe; stay armed.
