Gun MORON Alert:

<<The Second Amendment does not, at least in the view of our federal courts, provide a general right to individuals to own arms. It is poorly drafted, but could have said: "The right of individual citizens to bear arms shall not be abridged." It doesn't, but contains language about "the right of the people", and a "well-regulated militia." Parts of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights deal with relations between the federal government and "the people", and often the context shows that "the people" is a synonym for "the states." If this was how the drafters viewed the complicated language of the Second Amendment, then what the 2nd Amendment means is that the federal government cannot ban well-regulated state militias. Individuals with guns in their dressing tables do not equate with well-regulated state militias. <<
