I understand that the NRA has tried to read that inconvenient text out of the Second Amendment, but it's still in there. If you disagree, I suggest we take it up on the Politics Board.

1) Yes, I was referring to PATRIOT Act.
2) Ty, it is not "there". "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, [<-- comma = preamble] the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. " [<--enabling clause that doesn't mention militias]
3) I agree that this is better left to the politics bd.
