The phrase "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state," is frequently and most conviently forgotten about in the pro gun lobby's propaganda effort. The full amendment is "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."
The common legal consensus, and one that the SCOTUS has followed for over a century now is that the second amendment mainly refers to protections afforded the individual states regarding the establishment of reserves and the National Guard, and not to allow any drooling idiot the right to purchase a 50 cal. machine gun. larry On 12/19/05, Chesty Puller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What are you talking about? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Larry C.
