It also mentions the people. Why does everyone keep wanting to leave that out? In fact, it states that it is the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It does not say that in regards to the militia. If we are going to parse words, let's parse 'em. Sap brings up an interesting point that I do not totally disagree with. The SA was put in place partly for the state's security against the fed. However, if you take into consideration the fact that the Founders viewed government in general as a necessary evil, and their concern of having a standing army during peace time, it is fairly clear to me that the SA was also intended for the people to protect themselves from state as well as federal governments. Not to mention security from criminal elements that can also have a negative impact on the security of society. This is not difficult. The Founders did not trust government in the least. They also understood human nature and knew that they could not trust individuals either. Just as the three branches of government are designed to create checks and balances on the other, the states and fed are to be a check and balance to one another and the people and government are to be a check and balance to one another. No one group was intended to have too much power. The SA is VERY much directed towards the populace as it is towards the states as well.

Not the first time someone here has accused me of being a mult, I have offered up substantial proof that I am me, feel free to go find it.
I am just a gun-toting, liberal-hating, Alaskan Chiefs fan. Posted via Mobile Device |

And for the foreseeable future. No anti-gun Justice is getting confirmed to replace a pro-gun Justice any time soon.
Other than the waste of space that is Ginsburg, I don't see any of the current Justices leaving in the next 4 years. More importantly, the American public agree... Quote:

I think it's vital that we continue to argue about gun laws, gun safety, as well as all of the other topics we argue about. It keeps the constitution alive and healthy, like a well-pruned tree. By the way, PLEASE everyone... I am not advocating a gun ban. I have tried several times to explicitly say that - not a ban on owning guns. I just want it to be more of a pain in the ass to buy them, and while that may suck for you, I don't think it's unconstitutional in any way and is, in my humble opinion, a healthy and necessary speed bump. That and you can't BUY an assault rifle unless you're in the armed forces or law enforcement. (You can still keep and bear one if you're a regular Joe Schmoe.) |

Considering Alaska receives more Federal money than ANY OTHER STATE, you are welcome to kiss my liberal California ass.
