Gun rights activists for years have fought for the free proliferation of firearms throughout the U.S., perhaps subconsciously imagining they were only arming themselves. But a shooting incident in Virginia on Wednesday, in which a 66-year-old white man named James T. Hodgkinson fired a rifle multiple times on a baseball field and seriously injured House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and others, illustrated this point: Liberals, who traditionally support gun control, also may use gun violence when they feel helpless. |

More garbage about the 2A being only there to protect a Militia or some imagined "collective right."
I'm a bit tired of this idiot leftward twaddle. Does "the right OF THE PEOPLE" mean anything to these nuts? |

MarkHamTownsend, the reason they insist that the 2A enumerates a "collective" right is because they are...
...wait for it...
COLLECTIVISTS.
CommonDreams is a communist website, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that it spouts this pap. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
