I will continue fighting to protect our Second Amendment rights. [More]You know, "the right of the people..."
What elitist jingoistic, flag-waving, grandstanding BS is this?
ALL of us get in, damn it.
What an offensive, patently un-American idea.

The Right of the Standing Army to Keep and Bear Arms?
What elitist jingoistic, flag-waving, grandstanding BS is this?
ALL of us get in, damn it.
What an offensive, patently un-American idea.

The 2A was written to prevent a standing army.
“What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty….” ~Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment, I Annals of Congress at 750, August 17, 1789
"This [citizen-militia] appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army..." ~Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist, Number 29
Now Republicans think the 2A applies only to the unconstitutional Standing Army. Next: it applies only to the King himself.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
