The 2ed Amendment as a Gun Nuts Wet Dream



It's rather curious that the Gun Nuts find a universal right to bear
arms in language that clearly doesn't intend one: "A well regulated
militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of
the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

If the First Congress intended a universal right all they had to do
was simply write "Congress shall make no law abridging the right to
bear arms." Now that would be a Gun Nut's wet dream. No more having to
rewrite history or force round pegs in square holes.
   
How about "People being necessary to the security of a free state, the
right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Or better yet: "A unorganized rabble, being necessary to the security
of a free state, the right of untrained people to keep and bear arms,
shall not be infringed."
 
Any others?
