They had a taped radio show he did on NPR(of coarse) on c-span. He never once mentioned the word KEEP. He also said the Civil War decided that the States (not the people) could not ever overthrow the Federal Government by arms. I thought the fact that he repeated many times that to bear arms is military but did not once mention KEEP was interesting. Also he calls himself a historian. Yea a historian with an obvious agenda which was also apparent.

I can understand how your personal beliefs can influence your interpretation of history, but this is absolutely FALSE. As a teacher, I ashamed someone in my profession can be so blatantly dishonest or incompetent.
This guy should take History 101 again.

If Cornell understood the meaning of "well regulated", he wouldn't have wasted the ink.
Not only that, the crux of the matter is the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Doesn't really matter what he thinks "well regulated" means, or what he surmises the Founding Fathers meant. What they wrote in the end is what counts.

It is way past time we in this country got back to arming ourselves the way our Founding Fathers so wisely saw fit to insure us the impunity to do so in the Constitution. B.E.Wood
We need to do it soon, too. The fan is revving up and the sphincter is dilating...

Think of it this way:
A well educated inteligencia, being necessary to the prosperity of a free state, the right of the people to keep and read books shall not be infringed.
This would not mean that the people only have a collective right to keep and read books only if they happen to be enrolled in a school or university. For people to be educated, they must know how to read. The "right of the people to keep and read books" is recognized as already existing, but being that the prosperity of a free state depends on a "well educated inteligencia", it is in the best interests of a free state not to infringe upon the "right of the people to keep and read books", otherwise the people would be illiterate.

Saul Cornell is an anti gun shill for the Joyce Foundation. He is a Soros foot soldier with an agenda, not an unbiased source of scholarly research. As long as the Joyce Foundation has money to spend, you can bet that guys like him will keep popping out of the woodwork. The only thing we have going for us is that they are so obviously wrong.
