[quote user="jeffhergert"][quote user="CSSHEGEWISCH"] <p>Dave doesn't have the Second Article of Amendment phrased properly anyway. "of the people" isn't in it.</p><p>Also notice that he hasn't defined a "real" American.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Every place I have seen the Second Amendment reproduced, the words, "of the people" is in it. I would agree to the extent that the "militia" has evolved into today's National Guard, however I don't believe all courts have ruled that ONLY the government has a right to keep firearms. If that had been the case, all guns would've been confiscated long ago. (I would almost think a reading like that would mean even the full time US Army couldn't have firearms, only that portion subject to call during a national emergency.)</p><p>I didn't even look at the Wikipedia version, there are so many other places to read it. </p><p>As for the rest of the argument over railroad monopolies, re-regulation, open access et al, FM your on your own. In those areas I don't agree with you. </p><p>Jeff</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>That's alright Jeff, upstanding people can disagree on those other subjects since there's so much subjectiveness to them. But there is no subjectiveness to the fact that "of the people" is right there in the 2nd Amendment. It is inarguable, and those who claim otherwise are just plain ignorant fools.</p>
