(6,944 posts)1. The original text of the proposed 2nd Amendment:
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; a well armed and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country; but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms shall be compelled to render military service in person.

including four on today's Supreme Court, totally agree with Justice Burger. The right-wing gun lobby and their political puppets have twisted ages of legal precedence into a corrupt system which allows death and injury from guns unparalleled in the civilized world.

(20,899 posts)3. The late Chief Justice Warren's comments on the 2nd Amendment are so third-quarter 20th
century for this 1st quarter of the new American century (extremely RW PNAC) where every Amurikan has a right to tote a military-grade assault weapon practically any place Amurikans gather in droves.
For the truth...
for exposure.
