“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.”<\/p>\n
Where and by whom does Illinois, Alaska, or any other state in this union, have the proliferation of National Rifle Associated-endorsed military assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, been sanctioned by a “…. well regulated militia…?” It is only under that auspice that “…it’s necessary to the security of a free ‘State’, the right of [its] people to keep and bear arms,” but not to facilitate that state’s ‘insecurity?’ Colt, Remington, and other seductive marketers, mentored by NRA-trained lobbyists, have so distorted our interpretation, or “read” of the Second Amendment, and most significantly that of frightened consumers, that many law-makers are trapped into allowing capital markets and consumer popularity (after many of these purchasers have been groomed by the video-gaming industry), into believing that every citizen of these United States has a personal and legal, duty and to carry these weapons, many military-grade assault rifles, everywhere.<\/p>\n
Do your job as a representative of “the people” and protect us all. Not just the profit margins of manufacturers and paid lobbyists.<\/p>\n
