This guy is a part of the problem. The 2nd amendment links the right to keep and bear arms with the need for a "well regulated militia". Congress and the courts have never actually enforced this linkage and indeed pretend that it doesn't exist -- which is the basis of our current problems with gun nuts insisting that the general population be heavily armed. This guy may never go nutso and shoot up a classroom (even though his paranoia about the "govenrment" seems to indicate some degree of mental illness) but some other deluded soul could use the weapon to kill innocents. As long as gun nuts run the government we are truly and thoroughly screwed. (just my humble opinion). |

I really don't understand why people have such a hard time with this, when it has been gone over so much. Regulated from the latin origin regula or to supply. So well regulated is well supplied. So the founding father where saying that a well supplied militia is necessary to the security of a free state therefore arms are not to be infringed to guarantee a well supply. It has nothing to do with regulation, AKA a governed group of militia people, but people try to contort regulated with regulation all the time to make the second amendment fit their desires for it to read how they want it to.
