"What about the 2nd Amendment?"
"We would be better off without it"
"Government reserves right to regulate distribution of firearms
Editor,
I am appalled by the audacity with which the leadership of the Second Amendment Club has attacked Ohio University's Student Senate.
They do so on the premise that student senate's resolution banning guns on campus somehow limits our "civil liberties." Exactly what version of the Bill of Rights is the Second Amendment Club reading?
Indeed, the Second Amendment, in its entirety, states "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
Proponents of the Second Amendment, more often than not, seem to abandon the first provision of a "well-regulated militia" altogether for their constant rants of a "right to bear arms." Moreover, the Constitution grants no specific individual right to gun ownership but a collective right of a people to rise up in arms in times of conflict.
For anyone to argue otherwise would be foolish.
Government — be it federal, state, local or campus-wide — has every right to regulate the sale, distribution and ownership of handguns as it is not specifically prohibited from doing so in our Constitution.
Because there was no violation of the Bill of Rights, student senate could not possibly have ignored any of the "civil liberties" the Second Amendment Club claimed it did. Before resorting to petty name calling and making false accusations, the Second Amendment Club should study our Constitution.
The only remedy for ignorance is, after all, education.

" Nor does the ACLU believe that there is a significant civil liberties value
apart from the Second Amendment in an individual right to own or use firearms.
Interests of privacy and self-expression may be involved in any individual's
choice of activities or possessions, but these interests are attenuated where
the activity, or the object sought to be possessed, is inherently dangerous to
others. With respect to firearms, the ACLU believes that this quality of
dangerousness justifies legal regulation which substantially restricts the
individual's interest in freedom of choice."
That's all I need to know about that lot of gungrabbing communists. They use choice parts of the Constitution to undermine other parts and protect other marxists. Anything about America that doesn't fit into their marxist view is systematically attacked using the very freedoms afforded by the Bill of Rights.
Why don't you just go ahead and join Al Qaeda too because you don't like the Patriot Act and George Bush? Last I heard they were opposed to both as well.
