Is this just a rumor? I heard that some politician doesn't believe that the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution gives people the right to bear arms.
Excuse me for a moment. I hope I don't offend anyone, but...
How could this be interpreted to get to that conclusion?
2nd Amendment:
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.
Now, unless this part is talking about 'arms', as in the limbs attached to your torso, I think it's pretty clear.
Does anyone agree/disagree?

A Most Interesting Tag from The Cornet Crazie!
I'm back! Obviously! Had a smashing time on vacation, but it was ruined when I got home because this font won't go off bold. Humph. lol.
1. How many toes do you have?
Uh...let me think, here. Possibly...ten.
2. How many bones have you broken?
None. However, I have made up for it in sprained ankles.
3. Name an epic thing that you have done.
Played a soccer game on a sprained ankle, 'tore' the top off my toe playing soccer barefoot on asphalt, sung higher than Meav Ni Mhaolchatha, etc. I'm an epic klutz, too.
4. If you had a pet lemming, what would you name him?
Excuse my ignorance...but what is a lemming?
5. What color are the clothes you're wearing right now?
Navy sports pants with silver stripes running vertically, and my ultimate shirt! (meaning, my paint-splattered, stained, butterfly shirt from the Southern Shores) :)
6. How awesome are orca whales on a scale of one to ten?
Well...all of God's creatures are awesome...
8. How old do you want to be when you die?
Idk. Never really thought of that.
9. Name a pet peeve and an addiction.
Grr. Politically correctness makes me absolutely sick. That is why I hate studying the Civil War. Whenever I say that I'm a southern sympathizer I get called a racist. THAT is a prime example of racism right there, and political correctness, too. Was is RIGHT to tax someone extra because they weren't paying your price for your item?!? When one side of the country taxes the other dry to the other side's benefit...there's something wrong. And then saying they can't leave when they get fed up...now that is just cheap. Yes, both sides had faults (like slavery for Confederates, although that wasn't the main cause of the war UNLIKE some biased text books would have you think, and waging war on the woman and children of the South, like the Yankees), and I'm very sorry, but I'm a Johnny Reb. Actually, I'm a copperhead because I was born in Yankee territory. :)
Oh, and my addiction. WRITING!! Can ya guess? And LORD OF THE RINGS!!! YEEHAW! SHOW THAT MUMAKIL WHAT YOU CAN DO, LEGOLAS!
10. Write a paragraph detailing your life. 100 word minimum.
*ahem* I was, well, born. When I was five/six, I grumblingly took up piano, which would later become my hobby. Although I was a fairly slow reader at first, I fell in love with fantasy and writing at around age eight, and have been faithfully scribbling and banging out tunes ever since.
11. Name one thing that isn't really a secret, but that you haven't really gotten around to telling anyone.
I don't really like chocolate ice-cream.
12. Name another pet peeve.
People who think they know a lot, but they really don't. Seriously, there was one archery 'instructor' who once was telling me to do something that I already knew how to do, and then he went and strung the bows completely wrong. Then he started teaching a left-eyed kid how to shoot with my bow. Which is for right-eyed people. It was HILARIOUS!!!!
13. Sprechen Sie deutsch?
No, hablo Espanol, mucho gracias. A little.
14. Tell a joke.
I don't know any.
15. How many of the questions have you answered in a witty manner so far?
A couple.
16. Compose a haiku.
I don't write haikus.
I write epic poems.
Is that good enough?
17. Have you ever noticed how sour candies taste even more sour if you rub them on the side of your tongue?
No.
18. What book(s) are you reading at the moment?
'FotR'
19. How many doors are there in your house?
A lot.
20. How would you solve a problem like Maria?
BONK HER ON THE HEAD WITH A RUSTY SABER! No, not really. Blondies are incurable. Jk, lol. I wouldn't dare to insult a blondie, seeing as my three siblings have blond hair, and I myself am a blondie at heart.
21. Think of something about yourself. Anything. Go on, think of it.
Okay.
Now think of something more interesting. Write it down here.
The top of my right big toe has no feeling, because, well...I epically 'tore' if off in a game of street soccer.
22. What's wrong with your hands?
They're very thin, my fingers are, from exercising them about two hours a day.
24. What's your favorite show tune?
?
25. Okay, you can tell us what that first thing you thought of for number 21 was. We all want to know.
I do sign-language with my left hand, even though I'm technically right handed. I think it was because when I first learned the basics of ASL I didn't know that the teacher was doing a mirror-image of what I was supposed to do. So...I did it left handed. Which is fine with me.
That was a very interesting tag!
I tag anyone...
...who is absolutely driven bonkers by political-correctness!

P.S. Guess what! I get to do the 'American Legion' Air-Rifle Competition! It's kind of low-key, but it's the qualifier for States! Please pray that nothing terrible happens. Like, for my gun to work all right, and for me to get a score over forty on my standing target.
Thanks!
