"A well-schooled electorate, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and read Books, shall not be infringed."
First off, is a well regulated militia, which is to say outside of the military, still necessary to protect the state? Really? If so,
a. Where is it? and,
b. By whom and how is it regulated, and,
c. if it is necessary and it's regulated how come so many gangsters are shooting up the streets?
I know we can argue the intent of the founding fathers till we're blue in the face. Personally, I think they were expecting people to protect the nation, not plug their dealer, and if they were aware of the future a different amendment would have ensued.
And, that thing about a well schooled electorate...I wonder where that went, too. Probably watching reality tv.
