Actor Ed Asner and comedian Ed Weinberger have a problem with gun owners. According to these two constitutional luminaries, the NRA and their ilk (this includes the Supreme Court) have been misinterpreting the Second Amendment for years.
The right to keep and bear arms doesn’t apply to individual citizens, as the Supreme Court ruled in 2008, but only to state militias. James Madison and the rest of the Founding Fathers actually supported strict gun control, as evidenced by Madison’s original draft of the Second Amendment as well as state constitutions.

Mr. Ed seems to be speaking from the wrong end these days.
ReplyDeleteA quick look at who the founders consider the "militia" would solve the problem for any rational person but the left has never allowed reason to flourish and being morally bankrupt has always sought to repress and destroy it at every opportunity.
Richard Henry Lee: “A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves…and include all men capable of bearing arms."
George Mason: “I ask you sir, who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people.”
George Washington: “A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.”
Patrick Henry: “The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.”
Y'all have a nice day....and a Merry Christmas!
