What follows is a comment on one my posts that was mysteriously deleted. Well, I don’t agree, but I don’t censor, either. Must be my attachment to the First Amendment. So here it is.
Here's the 2nd Amendment: “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.”
Uu
The language seems to tie the right to bear arms into joining a militia, not that you have to, but in case you feel the need to. We can regulate where you keep them, but questions remain, the right to bear arms when, where, why and even how?
But, we have a problem and this article on ADL research comes from the World Socialist Web Site addresses it, putting the right wing(s) to shame in their ineffectiveness: Anti-Defamation League: All “extremist” mass killings in the US in 2022 linked to the far right.
It's a problem that is not being well-addressed because of the right-wing and empowers right wing racist psychos. The best they do is skew the issue by saying that some guy on the left shot Republicans playing softball one day, or that looters are members of BLM, and look for leftist bad guys in the crime area with a fine toothed combs and make up commie conspiracies.
All the while, the armed attacks on government buildings and processes of our democracy that this country needs to firmly and successfully defend, also shoots out the back side out of our 2nd Amendment, this in addition to the mass murders. Someone has to come up with an answer, and it cannot be that the country waits for right-wing approval. The right wing must get involved in a real solution.
