Why don't you give trying to be snide and confrontational a rest and consider my point. Do you really think that was the best way, or even a really good way, to handle that situation?

Cops are always wrong, that is the answer to every situation to some. Pathetic really.

They certainly didn't consider it untouchable as they made it amendable for future generations. Otherwise we'd still be able to deny rights to certain segments of our population. Though some would say we still do. Thus the document is, well far is a bit extreme, but at least not as nearly perfect as some would like us to believe. For one the phrasing is in some places less than clear. This leads to arguments over intent and interpretation of certain segments. They could have simply said private ownership of guns is protected without bringing the whole militia thing into it. They could have been much more definitive on the whole church state thing as well. But it's the best document we have and it has worked moderately well for the last two and a half centuries. Especially if you discount that whole unfortunate 18th amendment boondoggle. I tire of the American Exceptionalism crowd. Yes this country is a great place. One of the greatest. But it is not "THE" Greatest. No such place exists. Some countries are better at some things than we are while we exceed many countries in other things. But to Jingoistically pound ones chest and blindly proclaim that the USA is the bestest country in all the world does no one any good at all. After all one learns from ones mistakes. So if one fails to see the flaws and issues at hand they will never try to correct the problems. They will fail to take the steps necessary to make this country the best place it could possibly be.

A militia is I believe for the most part a non paid defender of the public. Today it would be hard to get one with the attitudes many have. They are mostly receivers and not givers. I will not repeat but remember the words of JFK ask not...
At the time the constitution was written it probably was not vague as to what it meant, as everyone had a gun or guns in their homes. Different times, different attitudes, different moral standards, different different different... No internet to hide behind and spout drivel. If you said something to say you probably had a reason to say it and were not embarassed to say it to someone face to face. Rather than just to incite and become as some here are known, a troll, with no real purpose in their life. Sort of like an insect that should be swatted. Their own life is lacking so they strike out at the good fortune and ideals of those who are more suscessful and happy in their lot, while they just slosh around in the mire they have created and blame it on everyone else. These people have all the answers. They just have no moral fibre or ambition, just nastiness inside them that they must let out and hurt others by their remarks. It makes them feel important if they can ridicule what others believe in and make fun of it. Like the kid at the playground who makes fun of everyone else but can not get along with anyone so he mocks those who do and says they are stupid and dumb so he looks for those who will agree with him. They hang out together. We know them as losers.

The colonial times were famous for the often anonymous, libelous, newspapers and pamphlets. In some ways things never change.
