Second Amendment under Fire:

"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."

Everybody knows exactly what that means, right? It means I have the right to keep a gun on me at all times, so that I can fondle it whenever I need to feel like more of a man. Yup, that's it exactly.

The next battle over the Amendment will focus on—you've got it—the commas in the document. To read more about this, check out Adam Freedman's Op-Ed piece in today's New York Times.

By the way, just what did those jokers mean by "A well regulated Militia," and why is it that no one wants to debate that issue? Just who is supposed to be doing the "regulating," and who gets to decide what "well" means?
