2nd Amendment Again
You know, we've always been a violent people--willing to settle anything with a violent solution. I'm not really surprised when individuals choose violence over a more peaceful solution. We're pushing guns as a solution in every state in the Union with "Stand Your Ground" Laws (This was the idea of NRA--no surprise there either). The head of the NRA said that because the pastor of that AME Church in S.C refused to allow guns in the church, he caused what happened---but think, if the church members all had guns what a blood bath might have happened. And do you know that the 2nd Amendment is obsolete. When it was written, it was necessary for citizens to be armed to fight off enemies because we didn't have the money to buy weapons for every man who wanted to fight. Read it carefully---it's to amend the Constitution Article 1 (Powers of Congress):, Section 8 (about halfway thru where it says): "To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections (Like the Civil War) and repel invasions." But no provision was made for arming the Militia so they Amended the Constitution to say that: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." People don't need an amendment to the Constitution to give them the "right" to own guns. (that's ridiculous). And since we already have well-regulate "militias" (National Guard, Coast Guard and State Guards) that are all WELL ARMED. This Amendment is OBSOLETE (Just my opinion but I reached it after studying this idea that Americans have about needing guns--they don't "need" them, they can have them as long as they follow their state laws that regulate what and how many they can have as long as they have a valid license (and I wouldn't mind a few federal laws regulating ownership). But the 2nd Amendment, which is obsolete is about ARMING Militias, Militias which we no longer have or need. Are you with me?
