No! Mike is exactly right.

I can't say this nicely, so I'll just say it. That attitude makes you sound
like a goon. So things are made right merely by being law? Like when it was
legal to own people of recent African decent?
When my actions happen to coincide with the dictates of our law, I am not
obeying the laws either because they are laws or because the cops have guns.
It is generally because the laws (in those cases) are good or because it's the
only way to get things done due to bureaucracy. And when that's not the case,
I feel free to disregard the laws if I doubt that it will inconvenience me.

Uh hunh.

Inadequate and largely inaccessible "ways."

Yes.

Spurious and false. The first clause of the amendment is not in any way a
directive, but something of an explanation. The second clause the directive
and all that needs to be "interpreted."
> if you're not part of the militia, then the 2nd ammendment doesn't apply to
you.
Luckily, we all are.
