The NRA's 2nd Amendment |
Further, Chief Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger—a Republican—talking about the 2nd Amendment said...
“…one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat
the word ‘fraud,’ on the American public by special interest groups that I’ve
ever seen in my life time. The real purpose of the Second Amendment was to
ensure that state armies—the militias—would be maintained for the defense of
the state. The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that
it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of
weapon he or she desires.”
From another point of view Jerry Large of the Seattle Times says...
“I don’t believe the Second Amendment was ever intended to support the
kind of gun craziness we contend with today, but since it’s always used to ward
off any common-sense gun reforms, maybe we ought to just fix the Constitution
and be done with it.”
But he admits this kind of talk just makes some Americans "...embrace their guns even more tightly..."
