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 |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
