Important Facts About the 2nd Amendment — Part I
The Second Amendment is so important:
* That it wasn’t even in the original constitution.
* That it wasn’t even the First Amendment.
* That millions of Americans believe it supersedes the 6th commandment, “thou shall not kill.”
* That the Supreme Court has decided to disregard about half of it.
Below is the entire Second Amendment; the first segment is in parentheses and bold because the Supreme Court has decided to (you’re not going to believe this) completely ignore it.
(A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state)
the right of the people to keep and bare arms shall not be infringed
Even though the Supreme Court has decided to ignore the first half of the Second Amendment, a sizable portion of our citizens seem to venerate what is left of the Second Amendment above the rest of the Constitution. And a large number of Americans appear to be so devoted to the Second Amendment that one might say they almost “worship” weapons, and war.
