hack: "the 2nd amendment protects a legitimate individual right" - Barack Obama

can we all stop the militia shit?

Yeah, obama said that (I haven't seen it in context tho, but I take your word); Obama said it because the supreme court 'legitimized' an individual right to keep/bear arms, in 2008. Obama would be denying the validity of the supreme court decision, & he can't do that as it is.
Even Al Gore said he respected the supreme court decision in 2000 which selected gwbush as president. It's not that gore agreed with Scotus, but he did it out of concern for national unity. Similar with obama.

.. I of course support the militia interpretation & don't intend on succumbing to the pack of lies which scalia & the duplicitous nra espoused to get the country into such gun violence to begin with.

So sorry, hack, cannot comply.
