A New York Times article talks about people reacting to the Bush’s administration position that the 2nd Amendment refers to an individual right to bear arms. What’s wrong with these people? Everyone who’s not some whacky-ass intellectual always assumed that was the government’s position. I mean, how convoluted does your reasoning have to be to read the amendment and think its a collective right? There are no such thing as collective rights!
Sure there are – they’re called state rights.
