(2,717 posts)beevul: Third, you're wrong again, in that the restriction on government contained in amendment 2, explicitly protects from governmental interference, the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
You mean to say that I am wrong, as well as Wm Rawle in his respected 1825 A View of the Constitution is wrong, encyclopedia Brittanica is wrong, & wiki too?
Why are we wrong beevul? since all of us agree that 2ndA indeed protects from govt interference, it's just that it also guarantees rights, which you are ignoring in your blissful etcetra.
You are not rebutting anything, beevul. You are simply regurgitating a half truth, that the bill of rights was a restriction on congress, while ignoring that it was also a guarantee of individual rights (in 2ndA case an individual right to belong to militia).
beevul: You have no business talking about the failures of others, james, until you get your own house in order.
You mean I, Wm Rawle, Encyclopedia Brittanica, & wiki too, 'have no business' rebutting you?
beevul: As I said, the 'militia' arguments are a red herring. Always have been, and always will be.
That's in your mind, accd'g to the 2ndAmendment mythology.
