Yeah yeah all very well and good parody except that the 2nd amendment contains the word "well-regulated" and the 1st doesn't.

(And yes I know I'm asking for a shitstorm of trouble saying that on THIS list of all places).

ARTICLE I. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. ARTICLE II. 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. I'd say that 'shall make no law' is a clear as 'shall not be infringed' and pretty equivalent in meaning. See, no shit-storm (they reserve that for me...;). ____________________________________________________________________ Lawyers ask the wrong questions when they don't want the right answers.
