re: #282 goddamnedfrank

The Libyans didn’t seem to find the concept outdated. I read the Second amendment as establishing a prerequisite for a free state as being a well equipped citizenry having the potential to form an effective, functioning militia. It’s one of those things where only when it’s not available that one might actually need it.

The concept being that an armed citizenry cannot be defeated, or taken over by a tyrant.

I believe it.

Yet, with today’s language, it took a ruling from the Supreme Court to clarify that the 2nd Amendment is indeed an Individual Right.
