Steve’s Barking; USA a nation of laws

I’ve been taught that we’re a nation of laws. This being true my nation must be a nation of law breakers. Who hasn’t Jay walked (walked across the middle of the road) at least once in a life time. Smoked in bed. Cheated on your taxes, not reported income? Touched somebody inappropriately? We’re also a nation that wants to enforces laws that don’t exist. I’m writing about you 2nd amendment nuts. No the second amendment doesn’t say any Tom, Dick or Harriet can have have a gun. It references a militia and says the right of the people to bare arms shall not be infringed, the militia in 1789 was the people’s army. Some of the founding father’s feared that the militia wouldn’t have their weapons available to them as a reference to Shay’s rebellion. The Massachusetts militia’s weapons were locked in a ware house and the head of the militia had to break into it with out permission from the continental congress. The second amendment gave permission for members of well regulated militia to controll there own weapons and have have to ask permission from congress to get there weapons.
