Who the hell is Attorney Andrew Cohen anyway? I mean really, you can give any monkey on the planet a pen and a piece of paper and he can write an editorial for CBS. And primates would probably make good lawyers to boot.

Look at this tripe:

“If the justices do honest work in this area, they will inevitably come to two candid conclusions. The first is that our hallowed forefathers were no more willing or capable of making tough decisions about contentious issues (like gun rights) than are their modern-day counterparts.”

That is what we call ignorant wishful thinking from a lawyering liberal retard. Our Founding Fathers were individually flawed in their own ways - they were all human, after all - but they were passionate about this country and it’s founding because if they weren’t, they’d die. They were committed to getting it right, and they did until we started screwing it up with collectivist theory. They were brave individuals who simply KNEW that years later some dumbass is going to wonder what they were thinking. That’s why you see them saying things such as:

“The first and fundamental rule in the interpretation of all documents is to construe them according to the sense of the terms and the intention of the parties.”

Justice Joseph Story (appointed by President James Madison)

… or …

“On every question of construction, carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”

President Thomas Jefferson

That means quit farking whining about an extra comma, you horse’s ass.

Here’s another …

“The first and governing maxim in the interpretation of a statue is to discover the meaning of those who made it.”

Justice James Wilson

Our Founding Father’s were extremely clear in the Bill of Rights.

Here’s a basic primer:

1. Everything in the Bill of Rights refers to the individual. States do not have “individual rights”Look at the other Amendments, jackass.

2. The Bill of Rights was written a long time ago. Just because you disagree with it’s grammatical sense by today’s standards, doesn’t make the Founders wishy-washy.

The big argument you hear out of the anti-gun camp is always, “militia means the army”!

Wrong yet again.

“The militia shall always include, according to the past and general usage of the States, all men capable of bearing arms.”

and …

“A militia … are in fact the people themselves and are for the most part employed at home in their private concerns.”

Richard Henry Lee, Signer of the Declaration, Framer of the 2nd Amendment

He didn’t say, “Are only part of an army created by the State with weapons issued to them from the Government!”

And another …

“The militia … are … the people at large.”

Tench Coxe, Attorney General of Pennsylvania

AND another …

“Who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people.”

George Mason, “Father of the Bill of Rights”

It takes a real special kind of smug, brainless schmuck to think that our Founding Fathers were being unclear or were somehow afraid to tackle the subject of firearms. Congratulations, Andrew, you’re a shining example of your profession.
