For all those "interpreters" of the Second Amendment, here's a question for you:

66. Read their writings...it's right there!

"A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves …"
-Richard Henry Lee

"And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the Press, or the rights of Conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms; …"
-Samuel Adams

"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
-George Washington

"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
-Richard Henry Lee

"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?"
-Patrick Henry

"The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that … it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; … "
-Thomas Jefferson

"The best we can help for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed."
-Alexander Hamilton

"The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion."
-Edmund Burke

Yet you are going to tell me these men would have no problem with gun bans and confiscation? Are you freakin kidding me? If you want to favor that...fine. You have that right to believe and support in whatever policy you want. But don't try to act like the intention of the founding fathers was to allow the federal government to have the kind of power you want it to have. They didn't.
