09:45 pm - The Second Amendment Revisited and Revised


I've just finished reading John Ringo's and Linda Evans' book The Road to Damascus, set centuries in the future on a world at the about the edge of human space colonization. Early in the book one character notes a part of the Jeffersonian constitution that reads, in effect:

The right of the people to keep and bear arms for self-defense and defense of the homeland shall never be infringed, limited, rescinded, interfered with, or prohibited by any decree of law, decision by court, or policy by executive branch or any of its agencies, And this time, we mean it. (Pages 152-153)

I really like the brilliant clarity and utter lack of an all too often misinterpreted phrase.
