Jozef Halada - Re"Also, the 2nd amendment. (funny how the constitution becomes almost an afterthought)"

Only nutters like Jozef and of course Charlton Heston think there is a 2nd amendment right for an individual to bear arms.

And the nutters are wrong.

abanet.org

"The United States Supreme Court and lower federal courts have consistently interpreted this Amendment only as a prohibition against Federal interference with State militia and not as a guarantee of an individual's right to keep or carry firearms. The argument that the Second Amendment prohibits all State or Federal regulation of citizen's ownership of firearms has no validity whatsoever.


The controversy over the meaning of the Second Amendment exists only in the public debate over gun control. Few issues have been more distorted and cluttered by misinformation than this one. There is no confusion in the law itself."
