Reread that pesky first clause of the second amendment. it doesn't say what any of us thought it said. what it says is that infringing the right of the people to keep and bears arms is treason. what else do you call an act that endangers "the security of a free state"? and if it's treason,then it's punishable by death. i suggest due process, speedy trials, and public hangings.

More From L. Neil Smith

I suggest due process, speedy trials, and public hangings.

If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. you will in due season have great impatience of public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of public expenditure. you will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. you will in due season find your property is less valuable, and your freedom less complete.

The left looks at the constitution and sees things that aren't there and then they find 'em. they look at things that are there and claim they're not there. like the second amendment, nah, nah, it's not there, they really didn't intend that. no, no. abortion. you can't find it, yeah, there it is, plain as day, see, it's right there in the 14th amendment, the tenth amendment, the ninth amendment, the fifth - no, it's not.

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

Nowhere else in the constitution does a "right" attributed to "the people" refer to anything other than an individual right. what is more, in all six other provisions of the constitution that mention "the people," the term unambiguously refers to all members of the political community, not an unspecified subset... the second amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms... the very text of the second amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it "shall not be infringed."

You could say that the paparazzi and the tabloids are sort of the 'assault weapons' of the first amendment. they're ugly, a lot of people don't like them, but they're protected by the first amendment - just as 'assault weapons' are protected by the second amendment.

I'm the type of guy where one thing leads to another and eventually it gets awful. if i put a $5 bet on a roulette table tonight at 10 o'clock, by tomorrow at noon i would be running guns to cuba.

The british government says that for sinn fein to be involved in talks the guns must be left at the door.

America is a country founded on guns. it's in our dna. it's very strange but i feel better having a gun. i really do. i don't feel safe, i don't feel the house is completely safe, if i don't have one hidden somewhere. that's my thinking, right or wrong.
