    NO, it doesn't, and had NEVER been interpreted that way until the 1970s/80s.

    No, It's very clear in the various letters it's there because they couldn't afford a standing army.

    The right to bear arms on the federal level is relatively new. Until it the 1970's cities and states determined local laws. Orrin Hatch commissioned a report, ignored the reports finding, but still waved it around as proof. hell, 100 years ago and more many cities and towns didn't allow firearms;

    Add to that congress can change the amendments should it like, this is really a PR issue created by the PR company the runs the NRA and also supports gun manufactures.
    Here is a little bit of history regarding the NRA and politics. Surprisingly accurate for a media report.

    No, it isn't. You might have notice experts in constitutional law, and experts in the history of the constitution can not agree.

    If you can't understand why that is, stop talking about it.

    Do you have the slightest clue about the complexity of this issue? How much money it costs to catch and deport people? How evil it is to send people who where brought as children back to a country where the know no one?

    Have you even tried to think about it from any perspective other then 'it's illegal'? Why does it's illegal = deport? hmm?
    If you get a ticket for speeding, do they go back to where you started your drive, or do the fine you and let you continue on your way?

    And where do you deport them to if you don't know the country of origin? IF they where forced here?

    People like you keep focus on illegal and not on practicality, or the fact they're human beings.

    The current issue is the thousands of kids from all over south america are showing up. How do ou hand that? fo you send a 10 year old back to a country randomly? Back to someplace where they will die?
