Please vote on this gun issue question with USA Today. It will only take a few seconds of your time. Then pass the link on to all the pro-gun folks you know. Hopefully these results will be published later this month. This upcoming year will become critical for gun owners with the Supreme Court accepting the District of Columbia case against the right for individuals to bear arms, and arguably the most anti-gun President in the history of this nation in office.

First - vote on this one.

Second - forward it to other folks and have THEM vote - then we will see if the results get published.

Vote in the USA Today poll - click on the link below.

The Question is: Does the Second Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?

Do explain? There is no arguement possible. "...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." That's pretty clear.

You forgot, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,..." which is where I think he means arguably. It's worded in a way that leaves interpretation, the argument being that the opening phrase is a precondition. The debate over it's meaning amongst scholars is basically at a draw.

The best thing people could do is push for an amendment to the constitution that clarifies the individual's right. If the NRA and other advocates spent a large portion of their time doing this instead of foolishly battling interpretations, this argument might be dead by now. I suppose there might not be as much money in it for them though if the matter is mostly settled.
