Libertarian Quote of the Day

"The Supreme Court in District of Columbia v Heller (October 2007) upheld that the 2nd Amendment protects the INDIVIDUAL right to keep (own) and bear (carry) arms. This means that the 2nd Amendment does NOT apply to a "National Guard", which is not a militia. Thomas Jefferson even said that the "militia" includes everyone not in the government (meaning the National Guard is not actually part of the militia, but I am). Federal code actually mentions that every able-bodied male not in the military and between the ages of 17 and 45 is part of the "unorganized militia". Therefore, the only group that the 2nd Amendment DOES protect, are the people that you say shouldn't carry firearms."
