Rewriting the Second Amendment


iconA mentally ill suspect in Indianapolis went on a shooting spree with an SKS rifle. Thanks to the handywork and bravery of the boys in blue, he's now taking the eternal dirt nap. Good work guys.

But unfortunately, situations like this are fodder for the gun grabber crowd. With the upcoming sunset of the 1994 Clinton Gun Ban, the usual suspects are clamoring for action to renew it.

"When the framers wrote that in the Constitution, I'm sure they didn't mean you have a right to bear arms if you are mentally ill. You can get one undetected at a gun show and you can go out and kill somebody with it." Representative Julia Carson said she has already signed on to a letter to President Bush asking him to stop the federal assault weapons ban from expiring Sept. 15.

"Rationally, hunters don't need an assault rifle to kill a rabbit."

No, you need a varmint rifle to kill a rabbit. The .30 caliber SKS isn't bad for larger game though.

Nevermind that an SKS is not affected by the Clinton Gun Ban, this politico thinks the Bill of Rights makes exceptions for certain classes of citizens.

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.

She wants to make it so that you can't own a gun if she can find a doctor to say you're ill. And for some reason she thinks the Second Amendment is about hunting. Perhaps she should actually try reading the Constitution that she's sworn to uphold.

But, but, but if you hunt Thumper with a nice 22-250 and a 12x scope, that's, that's a SNIPER RIFLE !!!!! They should be banned too, along with all the other "high powered rifles" like the SKS with its potent 7.62x39 cartridge. Mwhaahaha!!

What a total load of crap. Pardon me while I go load up the side-by-side to go crawl through the bushes hunting deer. You know, we had deer in Vietnam.
