Gun Control in America: An Autopsy Report

That’s the title of an article by Charles W. Collier in the summer issue of Dissent.  Mr. Collier points out how the Second Amendment has been stretched.  Here’s how it works in America.  

You have a “right” to assemble an arsenal with ammo, you have a “right” to bring your weapon in to a public place, you have a “right” to point your weapon in the general direction of another person, and, if you feel “reasonably” threatened by that person, you have a “right” to shoot him dead.

I don’t think James Madison anticipated that when he wrote the Second Amendment.
