The US constitution is a living document that must be adapted and interpreted with the times. The framers had no idea of the weapons that would be produced and available in the future. To pretend that people should be able to walk around with whatever weapon they choose is laughable.

I do agree that people should have the right to bear arms. But people also have the right to be safe from some of the idiots who do bear arms. And there are a lot of idiots who bear guns...

"Safe from idiots" - so you think some ''gun control'' would affect the bad guys!? Sorry - they are the least likely to be gun free. Disarming or limiting the law abiding folks only gives the bad guys the advantage - they are one group that will always be armed - with whatever weapons they choose.

Look at his past voting record on firearms. People that beleive in the 2nd could not possibly agree with him. I don't give a care about a persons race. I beleive in American is good enough, however it worries me greatly when someone says they want to redistribute wealth. That is not the goverments job. Mcain can kiss my ass as well as Obama. Neither beleives and supports our Constitution.

I don't think that means what you think it does. So tell me what you think Madison is saying.

Not to mention the fact that the right of self defense is a NATURAL, HUMAN RIGHT,such rights being an IMMUTABLE TRUTH and PRE-EXISTING all forms of government; they exist DESPITE government!

Government can be RIGHTEOUS and RESPECT such rights,or,it can be TYRANNICAL and violate them.

Of course,an amendment written with the words "the right of the people" can't POSSIBLY be about an individual right,can it?

Its hard to imagine how so many people still dont understand that the Second Amendment is a prohibition on the federal government from infringing on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

Whats ABSURDLY "revisionist" is the constantly changing assaults on the 2A with the intention of doing just that.

[JHallSecuritysys]

The Constitution is actually a product of two factions,the federalist and anti-federalists.But this is besides the point.Jefferson AND Madison -you know,the guy who wrote the Bill of Rights- wrote the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions to protest the Adams administrations abuse of authority.

Both of these gentlemen understood the Constitution.

And the Constitution grants no such "interpretive" power to the SCOTUS.

Well you got it right here!

while I agree with the sentiment expressed, the Constitution is more of a product of Monroe than Jefferson. As I understand it, Jefferson believed that the Constitution provided the federal government too much power. That said, if the people (or states) determine that the federal government is no longer abiding by the constitution or has become damaging to liberty, then the government has lost its legitimacy.
