Something has just occurred to me. While those of us who can claim at least enough sanity to realize that something is frighteningly out of whack with all these 'mass murders', the NRA's idiot spokesman keeps whining about Constitutional rights. The 2nd amendment is his rationalization for every crazy demand he makes in support of almost no sensible restrictions on firearms whatsoever. He needs to stop. Or is he unaware of the Patriot Act which was passed after 9-11? The Constitution had been steadily eroded for a number of years, and the Patriot Act pretty much finished it off.
Right to privacy? Ask the NSA what they think of that. Freedom of speech? Ask the corporate vultures trying to gain control of the internet if that matters to them. Freedom of the press? Pres. Obama & AG Holder are threatening a reporter with jail if he won't give up a confidential source. Freedom from unreasonable search and seizures? Hope the FBI or some other ineffective government law enforcement agency doesn't label you a terrorist. And last, but certainly not least, the right to vote? If you live in Florida, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona, or any of the other states dominated by Republicans, and you're elderly, young, or a minority, voting has either fallen by the wayside or is being made as difficult as possible. If all these very important, very worthwhile rights can be discarded, why not the 2nd amendment?
In fact, the 2nd has been completely misinterpreted to suit the nuts who think their right to own guns is the most sacred and inviolable right in existence. Since they are so hell bent on enforcing the 2nd, let's do it literally. It basically says that it is necessary for a well regulated militia, so I suggest that all these gun nuts join the army. They don't want to do that, then what the hell do they need with all those guns? I say if they aren't providing security for the country, for its citizens, then they're a threat. There might very well be a way to prosecute them for treason.
This is all just bull shit, this 2nd amendment obsession. Those guys don't give a damn about the Constitution. I doubt they even know what any of the other amendments are about. The corrupt scumbags in Washington have pretty well vanquished the important freedoms. They might as well squash the one that seems to pertain to a minority of citizens, and a minority for whom no one else's rights matter if they get in the way of the guys whose guns make them tough. They're probably also a substitute for the inadequacy of a male part. The hell with the 2nd amendment.
