good read - 2nd Amendment

How a mythical monster nearly swallowed the Second Amendment whole.

America's 1st Freedom

September 2011

Everyone knows the Second Amendment does not protect an individual right. Instead, it establishes a collective right, which cannot be legally asserted by an individual. The only people who claim the Second Amendment protects an individual right are deluded “gun nuts” who are ignorant of the original intent of the Second Amendment, and of the Supreme Court’s past rulings.

This article was one of the highlight articles I enjoyed reading this month when my copy of America's 1st Freedom came in the mail.

I am very grateful to the NRA for all its efforts over the years to help swing this pendulum back.
