National Rifle Association president Wayne LaPierre gave a speech at CPAC where he made outrageous claims about President Obama regarding guns and the ATF. Guest host Michael Shure breaks it down on The Young Turks.
@Mr2ndAmendment I think we have different definitions of the word "clearly." The amendment itself is pretty vague, and regardless of the common practices back then, I think the interpretation of it is up for debate. I seem to have overlooked your user name though, before typing my last comment. so I have a feeling neither of us are going to budge on the issue.. later
You have obviously not read the Federalist Papers, or Common Sense, or read through Jefferson's and especially Washington's own personal quotes on the matter of individuals having guns. They used personally-owned firearms to create this country. Back then, everybody had a gun and knew how to use it and carried it with them within their possession at almost all times. The 2nd Amendment clearly means every person shall have the right to own firearms on an individual level.
@Mr2ndAmendment "a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." That is the 2nd amdt word for word. This was written when the US didn't have a large, formal military, and had to rely on everyday people for the security of the state (i.e. for military purposes). It was also written when guns weren't nearly as deadly as they are today.
So you're kinda right.. but also completely misguided.
You "Young Turks" have your heads in the clouds on firearms ownership and regulations. Rallying behind the facade of safety to hide the fact that you're a wimp is counter-productive. Go exercise your 2nd Amendment Rights, and quit fuckin' with mine.
You want to know what the "other lies" are? Look at all the grand promises he made. Now look and see if he accomplished them. Enough said on that.
The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting, but since you're a liberal I am not surprised you are completely misguided. The 2nd Amendment is for protection, for the people to protect themselves from the aggressors and criminals of their society and a government that has become corrupted and out of control: much like this government.

Look up "ATF Plotted Against 2nd Amendment Using Fast and Furious"
Obama sealed the records on the "Fast and Furious" ATF operation. He's involved.
By the way, you are SUCH a pussy. MAN UP, DUDE.
