Agree completely, but we are indeed connecticut yankees in king wayno's court.
I actually renounced this trumped up 2ndA right to bear arms a few months ago, on rkba board, & agree it's outdated antiquated & essentially worthless & more a hazard than any protection against harm, blah. And still I could go out & buy a stupid gun if I wanted, no '2ndA check' needed.
jimmy the one, march30,2013: I renounce & relinquish my alleged 2nd amendment right to keep & bear arms.
I no longer own any guns & I have no intention of owning any ever again (I only ever owned 2 longguns). The 2ndA means nothing to me as far as gun ownership.
I do not believe in the current 'individual rights' interpretation. The 2ndA in 1791 was written to provide arms for a militia common defense, and was subverted in 2008 by a modern day, politically motivated, rightwing supreme court, into an individual right to keep & bear arms, disconnected from militia service. http://sync.democraticunderground.com/12621722
