The ACLU position is too clever by half. They shoot themselves in the  
foot with their argument that, if citizens may legally possess hand  
guns, then they should be able to possess bazookas, Scud missiles and  
nuclear warheads. Common sense, wherefore art thou?

I agree that the wording of the 2nd Amendment is archaic. It is one  
example of how the Constitution needs to be tempered to reflect  
modernity.

The Supremes may well have to do a Texas two-step on this one.

When guns are outlawed, only criminals will have guns.

And I will be one of them.
