What America’s gun fanatics won’t tell you

This article proves once and for all that the Supreme Court screwed up massively in its 2008 Heller vs. D.C decision. The supreme court back then featured justice Antonin Scalia, who is now dead and gone (and good riddance.)

Read what Alexander Hamilton wrote about the "well regulated militia." He said that the militia should be trained, uniformed, have a clear rank structure, monthly drills, and an oath of enlistment. The only difference from a regular army would be that the members of the militia would not be soldiers 24/7, but only when called up to duty or on drill.

The article correctly states that the "well regulated militia" that our founding fathers envisioned was nothing more than the National Guard.

Let's take a look at the second amendment again in this light. The second amendment says that because a well regulated militia is vital to national security, the PEOPLE as a WHOLE have a right to bear arms, just like the people AS A WHOLE have a right to make government decisions. Obviously,common citizens don't vote on international treaties or the national budget, but they exercise their right through voting representatives who then vote on these issues. In the same way, the people exercise their second amendment rights by enlisting in, supporting, or paying taxes to help fund the national guard.

Thankfully, Scalia, who wrote the decision of Heller vs Dc, has kicked the bucket. He will soon be replaced by a Supreme Court Justice of Hillary Clinton's choosing. Although Clinton unfortunately has bought into the nra propaganda that there is "an individual right to bear arms," hopefully the justices she appoints are not misguided, and end up revoking Heller vs. DC.

The second amendment talks about the national guard. If you are a current member of the national guard, you are a member of the well regulated militia. If not, you have no individual right to bear arms, and the supreme court screwed up when it said you did.
