OK I let it go when dksuddeth said it, but when two people chime in, it's time to call bullshit.

If dksuddeth didn't mean these people should have been allowed to buy the guns in the middle of the panic, then he needs to learn to state himself a lot more clearly.
That whole post followed the pattern that he's established on these myriad pro-gun posts. Spray a crapload of ideas in the first post, and the minute someone points out the fallacies, he starts protesting that gee, he never said that, when in fact he did.

1. The second amendment DOES preserve your right to keep and bear arms.

No, I'm sorry, it doesn't. It preserves the right of a WELL REGULATED militia to keep and bear arms. WELL REGULATED. People running around with a brand new gun in the middle of a riot is NOT a WELL REGULATED militia. None of the other 10 in the BOR have a qualification. That doesn't mean you can ignore the one in the 2nd because it happens to be inconvenient for you.
But I really don't get why everyone gets all uptight about this argument. Even if we abolished the 2nd today, no one's going to take your guns away. It's be physically impossible at this point. We can't get rid of stuff that's already illegal - drugs, etc - what makes you think we can get rid of all the guns?
