The 2nd Amendment Does Not Allow You To Be Dirty Harry

"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."

This is the wording of the second Amendment and anyone with average intelligence could decipher that its purpose is much different than what many today believe. It is basically stating that the people of the United States have the right to bear arms in case an army needs to be assembled against tyranny. Let us not forget that this amendment was added in 1791, over two hundred and twenty years ago! This was written into law at a time when our country was still very unstable and the need for a militia was possibly something that would be needed.
Unfortunately, this law has not evolved with the rest of the country and its very vague writing leaves it open to too much interpretation. Crazy wanna be G.I. Joes dressed in camouflage, wearing Oakleys and "Gun control is aiming with both hands!"  have stretched this law to allow them to purchase, trade, stockpile and use some very destructive weapons. They play shoot 'em up in the backwoods and gun ranges all the while fantasizing about the real deal. Everything from semi-automatic rifles and hand guns are available to anyone with enough money and a clean record. Rifles are even scarier, all you need is a license and a ride to Wal-Mart! There is no mental test? Just because you have never been convicted of a crime does not mean that you should be allowed to own a gun. I can safely say that everyone reading this blog knows somebody who really should not be a gun owner but in the eyes of the law is allowed to own one. Is it not a little frightening how easily someone can acquire a weapon capable of killing many people in a very short time from a distance?
And please do not give me that bulls**t that you should be allowed to hunt. We have a supermarket every mile and a half, it is not like anyone will be starving to death if we took away their so called "right" to hunt. And I am also sure that the deer, bear, elk, etc... population will be fine without your itchy finger help. It is called natural selection, believe me, it works much better without your influence anyway.
Treyvon Martin is just one of many victims who perish each day because a weapon ended up in the hands of someone not able to handle the responsibility of owning a gun. George Zimmerman was not a constable. Nope. He was not a security guard. Nope. For God's sake the man was a member of the community watch!!! There was absolutely no reason for him to be carrying a sidearm. Was he forming a militia against a hostile government? Was he protecting his rightful property from invaders? Was he standing post from an outside threat to the country? No. He was pissed there was a minority walking through his neighborhood and damn it he just had to do something about it. He was going to play "vigilante" and live out all those Charles Bronson movies. What he did instead was cut a life short and remind us once again how this law needs to be tweaked before another tragedy like this happens again.
Is it hot in here or am I Crazy?
