Wrong.  You should familiarize yourself with history.

As recently as the Burger Court, the idea that the 2nd extended beyond the militia was considered highly suspect to down-right wrong. There is no chance that this will not arise again in the future, because society is awash in firearms, awaiting the trigger that starts widespread misuse and, likely death.  We've already had one case of a teenager taking a military style firearm across state lines to "protect property" and killing people in the process. What happens if that becomes the response model to an election -- THIS election?

You should get the facts straight before you post. I watched most of the footage of the incident and I listened to what his lawyer had to say about his case too. He didn't cross state lines with the weapon as initially reported. He's was a Wisconsin resident who was in Illinois and came back home to help defend the property of a close friend. I'd do the same thing for one of my close friends. So, what are you going to do when we decide it's time to temporarily lower our standards and act more like the Liberals and simply use guilt by association to justify the elimination of you, the Democratic party and the entire left. Does this seem American to you? We can do mob rule too.

You should get the facts straight before you post. The guy was a stupid young nut obsessed with guns and right-wing propaganda. He crossed state lines illegally in order to "protect property" but had no particular property in mind and his only act was to shoot three wonderful young protesters. You talk about law and order, but you are part of the most lawless and violent segment of society today according to the FBI. You are not answering the liberals, the liberals are answering you. And you resist the truth. David is exactly right on this.
