Fox news published a piece about a Florida lawmaker wanting to ban the sale of ammo unless the buyers completed an anger management class first, see here:
This is my email to Ms. Audrey Gibson ( the lawmaker in question) -
Dear Ms. Gibson,
You have my condolences on your lack of understanding of the Second Amendment. It says: “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.”
First, if you study the quotes of our Founding Fathers, you will discover that a Militia, as they spoke of it, was a group of Citizens who were normally employed else wise. Whereas an Army was employed by the State or Republic for that sole purpose.
Also, the Second Amendment refers to the security of a free State. This is not talking about using the gun to go hunting but to defend oneself and ones’ home, city and state from injustice. In other words, the 2nd Amendment is referring to defending ones immediate area against a tyrannical and/or uncontrolled GOVERNMENT or invaders like the UN.
And, lastly, the 2nd Amendment says that these rights “shall not be infringed”. In other words – MAKE NO LAW RESTRICTING THEM - - AT ALL!!!!!
And - - my dear lady - - that does include the ammo necessary to allow them to be used to defend oneself against a government gone wild. Sorry to say – but that is becoming more and more the case today!
Sincerely,
A US Citizen who is concerned with ANY elected official breaking these laws in the Bill of Rights!!

Thanks, Stefan. There is a concept here - that those would be lawmakers who try to write laws that go against our Bill of Rights (any of them) are making themselves into criminals. Why is that concept so hard to grasp??

Well said. It irks me how so many of our elected officials have no understanding of the constitution, or choose to ignore it. And those who have studied constitutional law are often the worst of the bunch.
