The Second Amendment

While I believe Americans are entirely too enamored of guns--and far too many people die from gunshot wounds every year--I also believe that if protecting the First and Fourth amendments is important, so is protecting the Second.

Today's Supreme Court ruling is a fair ruling of one of the more ambiguous clauses of the Constitution. The Court said that the people have the right to personally own firearms, but the right is not absolute and may be regulated.

To be honest, I have thought about buying a gun myself on occasion. You never know when the revolution may come. ;-)
