Hi,
Nice post. One minor nit:
The Militia clause makes the intention of this Amendment somewhat obscure. However, I fully agree with you. All the gun control legislation to date is, in my opinion, an end run around the Bill of Rights. If the anti-gun people want to disarm the population, then let them first repeal or amend the second amendment.

Quote:Well, primarily because the 2nd amendment does not say that I have the right to hunt. It says I have the right to bear arms against tyranny.It really says nothing about tyranny: "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."
