Another splendid short from Prager University.
What does the Second Amendment say? Is gun ownership a right for all Americans? Or just for a small militia? Eugene Volokh, Professor of Law at UCLA, explains what the Founding Fathers intended.
And please read my three part series, Jew Without a Gun. This is my account of the Los Angeles Riots of 1992 in which Karen and I and the children were trapped for several frightening hours. We were unarmed, helpless save for our wits. The police were conspicuously absent and the bad guys, frequently armed with heavy weapons, owned the streets.
It was a defining moment in my life.
Just as Obamacare has nothing to do with health, and cap and trade has nothing to do with so-called global warming, anti-gun laws have nothing to do with saving lives.
It’s just another opportunity for the left to centralize power.

Excellent indeed. The only point I would take issue with is the notion that the right “is not unlimited” and can be subject to “narrow and reasonable limitations”. The actual words of the Constitution do not support that. “…shall not be infringed” doesn’t mean “may be infringed by limitations asserted to be narrow and reasonable”. It means “shall not be infringed at all”.
The fallacy of reasonable limitations gave us the unconstitutional notions of “strict scrutiny” (or “ordinary scrutiny”) which translate to “the government may infringe on any Constitutional right if it has a plausible sounding excuse for doing so”.
