Well, at least some Senators "Get It." Do yours?

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.

I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) Psalm 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
