Second Amendment Questioned

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."

Thank God for that

The mass ownership of guns is one of the leading causes of terror and misery in our society.

It's a sign of how backwards we are in non-technological matters that our society considers it right and proper for everyone to be able to carry a device designed to kill other people.

The only society which would need such a right would be one which has already armed all its people, so that it becomes necessary to possess a killing device merely to deter those who would mis-used their killing device.

And how fucked up is that?

If those methods are generally considered to be torture, than yes that is condoning torture, even if they themselves don't engage in it.
