It just occurred to me, according to antis, the 2nd is useless, hear me out:
1) It's not an individual right, rather some BS collective right of the states.
2) 2nd A. doesn't apply to the states through the 14th amendment.
3) Federal Gov. can regulate/ban guns, aka AWB'94.
So let's see, 2nd A. gives states the right to organize militia. But 14th amendment doesn't guarantee that right for the states. And it's OK for the fed to bad guns, but wait, i thought if 14th didn't apply, then 2nd A. restrained the Feds. Apparently not.
Yet at the same time those enlightened judges/politicians/etc seek and find unenumerated rights, aka gay marriage and abortion (don't mean to start a flame war on this one, just giving controversial examples), of which the constitution makes no mention (although through liberty and pursuit of happinnes i can see how, under the constitution, those are protected, except the abortion thing, duh).
Can someone please explain the anti logic when it comes down to the constitution and the 2nd A.? Do they think we are all morons? Or are we (I) missing something? After all, "the right of the people" is rather simple English.
Please enlighten me!
