Daily Herald | Left has it wrong on 2nd Amendment

Well, the title is obvious. Most anti-gun advocates keep wondering what do people need with guns. Protection? Protection from what is all they ask. Perhaps they never have had their homes broken in or a neighbor who has been shot by criminals. They see themselves as heros instead of who they really are… the ones that take guns away from those trying to protect themselves. Yes, Gun Advocates force the gun out of the future victims and cry freedom. Freedom for the criminal to do their dirty deeds without fear. At least this decision was correct.

Left has it wrong on 2nd Amendment

I’ve noticed much wailing and gnashing of teeth on the left side of the fence since the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the fact that the Second Amendment applies to individual Americans. I’m not surprised to hear these rumblings, as this bunch has never appeared to have the capacity for logical thought and has always relied on emotional caterwauling in their arguments, such as they are.

It has always amazed me when those opposed to private ownership of guns try to say that the Second Amendment applies not to individual Americans, but to the militia and/or the National Guard. They apparently never stopped to consider how many governments around the world found it necessary to have posted in their respective constitutions the “right” for their own armed forces to possess arms.

Next, these anti-gun folks are also quick to point out that assault weapons were never intended to be included in the Second Amendment. This from the same bunch that says the Second Amendment applies to the military, not the individual.
