Second Amendment Questioned

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the lock-and-load dept.

dheera writes "Attorneys in Washington, DC question the scope of the Second Amendment in the first case in nearly 70 years, citing that the right to bear arms only applies to 'a well regulated militia.' 'We interpret the Second Amendment in military terms,' said Todd Kim, the District's solicitor general."

    What the hell does the second amendment have to do with my rights ONLINE? I'm still allowed to shoot people in games over the internet, regardless of what the handgun rights are here in DC.

      If the government is going to tax people for their "virtual earnings", taking away their "virtual weapons" is the next step.

    This is a great subject for debate on Slashdot. I look forward to getting this issue settled, once and for all!
