every local police dept or state troopers is a militia...the second amendment wasnt contemplating the local chapter of the hell's angels.
That's really funny....... in a very sad, pathetic manner. (the Fuentes account story!)
Dino..... you are correct.......... they didn't CONTEMPLATE the Hell's Angels. But (unfortunately in many folks minds) they DID give the Hells Angels a "right" to carry a firearm.......... whatever the reason they stated!
"
2nd amendment protects the right to a militia."
And Tangy is correct also. BUT, (speaking just from an attempted common sense logical perspective of what IS doable) you've got to realize that it is just not achievable to think you can somehow "amend" or nullify the 2nd Amendment. It will NEVER occur!
BUT, practically speaking, why can Congress and the Courts not DEFINE it as not applying to Military Assault type weaponry. It's illegal for you or me to walk around (possess) a bazooka........ or a rocker-launcher, ....... or fly around in an armed Jet of some sort!
I've said it before. There is NO NEED whatsoever for an average citizen/hunter/avid self protectionist.....whatever! to possess an assault rifle!
The 2nd Amendment does NOT give anyone the right to an AK - 47 or an AR - 15 or a bazooka! It gives you the right to "bear arms" so that you can join a Militia if necessary and HAVE some weaponry when you join! It doesn't say you get to carry or conceal/carry any GOLDANG weapon some Military somewhere has come up with! Read it that way! Enforce the 2nd Amendment that way.
Then when we have that fixed.......... we can tackle trying to figure out precisely what the 10th Amendment means exactly........ HAHAHAHA
