The founding fathers intent was clearly for the residents of America to be able
to defend themselves against the British and any other possible "invaders". To
be able to easily and quickly assemble armed forces for any impending attacks.
The right to bear arms - arms in those days were muskets - not machine guns,
not missle launchers, not oozies, etc., etc., etc.
The right to bear arms - an amendment that needs to be clarified and redefined
for the 21st century. If we have a right to bear arms, then I would love
nothing more than for the inane, inbred, ignornant, irrational, idiots of the
NRA to have their own little civil among themselves and blow themselves away
with their assault rifles, their ak47s, etc.
But isn't that exactly what caused Colorado??? Children with easy access to
attack arms.
The right to bear arms, to the NRA, guarantees the right to use those arms
indiscriminately and without repercussion.
