The 2nd Amendment as clearly written

[FIN-ITE 34]

DHS purcahsing millions of rounds has more to do with driving up the cost and shortage than people fear mongering than some blogger I have never even heard about.

More fear mongering and inaccuracies. Read this by Breitbart, a very conservative writing about the myths.

There are arguments on both sides of the issue.

I believe the recent Supreme Court decisions support your view, and offer a reasonable interpretation of the Second Amendment that I disagree with...

Not to reignite a year long debate that spans everything from Abram Lincoln to the Patriot act, but I think it worth clarifying the Heller vs DC ruling. The intent of the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] Amendment is as it reads for, “A well regulated militia…”. Thus at the time this right was granted to the states to have a well regulated militia to defend themselves against may things including the Federal Government. Now threw out the years threw various acts what was a States Militia slowly became what we have today the National Guard. Since the National Guard can be called up “in time of national emergency” by the Federal Government, the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] Amendment is as it was intended nullified. To correct this imbalance in whatever way they could, the supreme court in Heller vs DC made the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] amendment an individuals right to bear arms. With that being said, there are States Defense Forces that act as modern day State Militias, that are completely controlled by the states, but not all states have them.

It's not really a "myth" when they admit to purchasing that much ammo.

I removed certain key words:

The _____ also noted that the types of people who look to exploit _______ aren’t deterred by _________ regulations, when their communities establish a ban, these people just seek out new, unregulated ________.

It is too bad it wasn't about firearms. That would make too much sense though.

The American people aren't responsible enough to own firearms, and in fact we should collect them all up and send them to the terrorist, I mean "rebels", over in Syria so we can help them out. Oh wait, the government is already arming them.

I personally am more interested in Jack Johnson than this Second Amendment nonsense.

Look at the bright side, at least the UN is generally regarded as useless, and has about zero authority anywhere. We would never sign any treaty that prevented us from shipping arms to every ass-crack of a country in the middle east.

And what happened to Jack Johnson? How did he go from mild-mannered, surfing, pot-smoking singer/songwriter to ruthless guide?

Of course you are.
