So all of those 10 Amendments were DEMANDED by the people. Sure they were all white male land owners, but they were people that had the ability in that place and time to procur the most freedom they could for themselves and their progeny. Without them, we would not have the ability to apply it across the board as we try to do today (doesn’t always happen, I know).

Now, times change, and the way we use our language changes, so it’s possible to interpret various things in our society from different viewpoints.

However

The INTENT of ALL of the 10 Amendments was to keep the people free from the possibility of a tyranical government down the road.
It is ludicrous to think that the people who demanded the 2nd Amendment only wanted the government to have weapons.
Only fools or people with an agenda can refute this.

The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting, sport shooting, or male bonding. It has everything to do with defending yourself from the government should it overstep it’s bounds and revoke the natural freedoms all Americans are garuanteed in the Constitution. That was it’s design. To keep the citizenry armed in case of tyranny.

None of the 10 Amendments are open to interpretation in the face of their designed intent. In order to circumvent them, you have to repeal or Amend them.

The NRA gets it about 3/4 correct. You also must take into account that the Amendments were written by John Adams, who hated the concept of the Bill of Rights. I wonder if he didn’t muddy the 2nd on purpose.

300 comments and not a single one of them (that I saw) devoted to the biggest problem with Sotomayor.
It is her belief that regular people should not have guns. Her interpretation of the 2nd Amendment is that only the government should have guns. She does not think that the 2nd Amendment applies to people, only to the State government.
So, does the state government only have the right to free speech? Or does that apply to individuals.

Sotomayor is a pox on an already fouled legal system. She is, without a doubt, the wrong person for the job. I could care less that she is latina, I could care less that she is a she. He views on the founding document of this country are borderline traitorous. Right in line though, with this, and the previous, administration.

Come here, lovertroll.
