Re: Pro-gun article

the 2nd amendment clearly states that its purpose is to provide a well armed militia ... the supreme court case defining militia as any male over 18 as potentially a militia member and thus has 2nd amendment rights and protections seems like a very far stretch.

also the gun laws in texas to allow open carry for rifles were put in place so that hunters could transport a rifle from their home, into their truck and then the woods to hunt without being arrested. it was never intended to allow guys to walk through walmart with AR-15s courting reaction.

^ my opinions are based off articles and synopsis i have read. i have never actually read the SCOTUS case re definition of militia or the Texas legislature hearing notes on intent.

why do i continue to post in this thread???
