"Stolen freedoms?" Seriously, the rhetoric is rampant. And btw, I don't remember reading that possession of automatic weapons is a "God given right" in the Bible. No one wants to take your handguns, but a background check to make sure you're not being investigated by the FBI for being a terrorist doesn't seem inappropriate to me.
And it's only in the Constitution because the Southern States used Militias to enforce slavery. They used their guns in posse's to capture runaway slaves; that is why it says "in a militia" in the the Amendment. It wasn't done to keep America free or self-defense. It was done to keep slaves in line. Regardless of what that nut-jobber Scalia thought the intention of that amendment is quite clear from history. If the 1st Amendment can be limited (can't yell "fire" in a theater) then so can the 2nd. Enough said. Peace out.
