Reply #78: Handguns are like Ford Edsels- We sure as hell don't need them [View All]

In my hometown in MN, after Pawlenty passed the CCW, all the places banned CCWS (workplaces, grocery stores, etc). The only place you can have CCW is on the street. It was kind of like, "WTF was the point of Pawlenty passing the CCW bill then?" Useless piece of tripe I've ever seen.

I've had my arguments and I've resigned to the fact that people really cannot read the 2nd amendment that well... it seems that "well-regulated milita" is just as ignored as the 2001 Anthrax attacks. You know it's there, but it seems to be forgotten.

There's a whole lot of ways to interpret the 2nd amendment, so it's not all that clear cut. Is it an "individual's" right to bear arms? That's a word that's missing... is "people" meant to be plural or singular? What about milita? Does that mean a group of people who get together to train so they can bear arms?

Geez... I can think of a number of groups that may fall under "milita" and I don't like them one bit.
