Gun Control and Mental Health

Alan: Americans who are determined to possess fire arms but refuse to participate in a well-regulated militia are too crazy to have guns. Furthermore, Americans who only believe in the second half of The Second Amendment are antagonistic to the Founding Fathers' clearly- stated intention that a well-regulate militia is the only constitutional context for the right to bear arms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

"If it was up to me, if you uttered the word 'gun control,' we'd put you in jail." 

Ted Nugent, in a speech at the 2011 NRA Convention

Excerpts:

• "I'll show you some security and I'll show you some peace: Nagasaki and Hiroshima. You fuck with us and we'll fucking melt you."

• "They got how many trillions of dollars in gold and silver and jewelry and art and real estate and stained glass and they're passing the basket on Sunday so they can get the tomato farmers' donation?" On the Roman Catholic Church

Second Amendment: Text

There are several versions of the text of the Second Amendment, each with slight capitalization and punctuation differences, found in the official documents surrounding the adoption of the Bill of Rights.^[13] One version was passed by the Congress,^[14] while another is found in the copies distributed to the States^[15] and then ratified by them.

As passed by the Congress:

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.

As ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State:

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.^[16]

The original hand-written copy of the Bill of Rights, approved by the House and Senate, was prepared by scribe William Lambert and resides in the National Archives.

The Second Amendment is the only amendment to the Constitution which states a purpose.^[17]
