Some questions for 2A gunnutters and Originalists [View all]

[UTUSN]

FOR THE GUNNUTTERS:

• Shouldn’t anybody possessing a gun have to be a member of “a well regulated militia” – meaning, marching around, qualifying by test and physical proficiency of the weapon, be insured, be licensed, participate in frequently scheduled drills, and much more?




FOR THE “ORIGINALISTS”:

• Shouldn’t the weaponry covered be limited to flint-locks and muskets, since that is what the Founders knew?

• Since the first thing the Founders did was to tack on ten amendments, doesn’t this carve a gigantic hole in “Originalism”? Not to mention that we were taught/indoctrinated that the Constitution is so brilliant that it has only needed twenty-something amendments for it to keep up with anything that has changed since the beginning?


*** to a couple of other DUers for a point or two added to my own stuff.
