My 2nd amendment argument

[brush]

20. One small thing, the 2nd does not say "not the militia" to keep and bear arms.

It's just the opposite, which is why it starts with "a well-regulated militia" and later, not the first mention mind you, "the people." It's ambiguous, unclear phrasing, which led to Scalia's Heller decision in 2008 insuring that"the people", individuals — which includes gun nuts near and far, crazy or not — have the right to stock pile as many rapid fire, military-style, assault weapons they can get their hands on.

It's glaringly obvious we need common sense legislation on guns that, frankly need to ban AR-15-style weapons, mean only for killing people, while preserving the right for ownership of handguns or shot gun for home protection. We've actually got some states now where one can carry a gun around in public with no permit or training needed. That's absolutely crazy.

It can done if we vote out the republicans who refuse to move on sensible gun control legislation but are quick to offer thoughts and prayers after every mass shooting, which happen just about daily now.

We can do much better as a nation.
