Waxing nostalgic about America .... the gun connection

Submitted by on

I read a diary a bit ago where the author was waxing nostalgic over what they missed about the 1950s and 1960s post WWII era. The supposed benefits of the cold war etc. Mostly the economic advantages those of us white middle class had.

I too miss some things about the era I grew up in. I shall list a few of them here.

A Modest Proposal in Support of the Second Amendment

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution of 1789, ratified on December 15, 1791, reads as follows:

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.

In 2008, the US Supreme Court, in District of Columbia v. Heller, held that the Second Amendment allows individual not associated with a militia to keep and bear firearms.
