I work you dumbass. I know you're a dumbass but I didn't know how badly.
I smoke and drink after work you freak!!!
I could drink bleach and I would be 1 million times smarter than your pathetic ass!
I skimmed through the article, so I didn't read EVERY single word, but I wonder how is it that Cornell, a "Constitutional scholar and expert" failed to mention when comparing U.S. laws with those of European common law that none of those countries has a Constitution explicitly guaranteeing the right to keep and bear arms as we do? Plus, if you're going by original intent and the meaning of a word, the term “militia†is explicitly defined as “all able-bodied persons residing in the State except those exempted by law."
What did the Founding Fathers "mean" by the 2nd Amendment? What about what they wrote down in black and white? (and just a few quotes, there are at least ten times this many but I know *some* of the commenters in this thread will think my post as tl;dnr because their attention span and reading comprehension are both limited. They, and the rest of you know who I'm referring to)
In the Federalist Papers, James Madison clearly states the reason for citizens to bear arms is to counter an oppressive govt.
Noah Webster said this in 1787: "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of troops, that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.â€
Thomas Jefferson declared "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of guns."
"That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or prevent the PEOPLE of the United States, who are peaceable from keeping their OWN arms..." - Samuel Adams
"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
- Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776
I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787
"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787
"The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."
- Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788
"The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824
And one more thing: Amturd wants the NRA to be banned. He's always accusing others of being Fascists, yet wanting to limit the right to assemble, stifling the right to free speech and prohibiting the right to keep and bear arms is the hallmark of Fascism, is it not? He accused me of being a "Nazi Racist", yet he's definitely a Nazi and one of the biggest bigots in here.
Amturd needs to be tried for treason, given legal representation if he cannot afford it (and I'm sure he can't - and by his own admission, he can't even afford dentures) and then given every avenue for any appeal after his conviction and when those are exhausted, lined up against a wall and shot...along with the other treasonous scum that he pals around with in here.
Dumb and dumber..
I'm sure your eyes glazed over when you saw it was a post from me, so you didn't read any of it. Too bad, I try my best to educate you useful idiots in here, but no matter how many books I buy you, you just chew the covers off 'em.
That's why I don't like you. I think gay people are born that way, but you have to WANT to be a America-hating leftist.
I can't be lower than either of you two...you're whale crap at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

Not sure why Sleezy keeps telling me I'm the product of incest; that means something like my dad having sex with my grandmother, instead of how it actually went down, me having sex with his mother.
Don't bother them with facts, ed. The truth is something they're not familiar with.
