Title: Well, at least some Senators "Get It." Do yours?
Post by: 230RN on January 24, 2013, 10:25:05 PM

Part of a response from Senator Jim Inhofe to a constituent regarding the Second Amendment.

Quote

The intent of the legislation at the time it was adopted was crystal clear. The Founding Fathers included the Second Amendment because they believed a well-armed populace was the ultimate check on the power of the federal government. If one were to argue the Second Amendment does not prevent the federal government from abridging the individual right of citizens to own a gun, the second half of the Amendment is rendered meaningless.
