I really wish that this silly arguing would just come down to repealing the second amendment and be honest. <br />The intention, according to letters of Jefferson, writings of Washington/Madison/Monroe, rulings throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, all show individual rights for defending yourself. <br />If the intention was to only arm the militia, then it follows that the removal of arms from those not in the militia would be required, ie, the housewives and elderly who cannot be part of the militia. <br />Winkler should look at the rulings from the following century and the intention of the founders.Aaronnoreply@blogger.com
