The Second Amendment. NRA, Common Sense

Here is a quote of the 2nd amendment. Lets us remember the founding fathers did not include this in the Constitution. The 2nd amendment was passed in 1791. So where does the NRA get off saying this amendment was passed for the good of all the people and is part of the Constitution. It is not!

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "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."

What we need in this Country is a clear Law specifying what the 2nd amendment is about and what it is not.

And going a little further read this and tell me what you think:   

After reciting the original provisions of the Constitution dealing with the militia, the Court observed that “[w]ith obvious purpose to assure the continuation and render possible the effectiveness of such forces the declaration and guarantee of the Second Amendment were made. It must be interpreted with that end in view.”5 The significance of the militia, the Court continued, was that it was composed of “civilians primarily, soldiers on occasion.” It was upon this force that the States could rely for defense and securing of the laws, on a force that “comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense,” who, “when called for service . . . were expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time.”6 Therefore, “[i]n the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a ‘shotgun having a barrel of less than 18 inches in length’ at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well– regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment or that its use could contribute to the common defense.”7

We now have women on the battle fields as combatives, we now have guns in a majority of the homes in the USA and we have the NRA looking after all this. So what is the problem? Is it right that the NRA is the Policemen of our rights to Guns? No sirree!

What we need is less NRA and more common sense.
