In the article provided by Awesome Library, it shows how big of a gray area the 2nd Amendment really is even though it seems straight forward. On this topic of gun control, it shows the argument of two major parties that effect the debate on gun control. One is the famous and well know NRA (National Riflemens Assosiation) and the other is Handgun Control (the Brady Center). The Brady Center is also in conjunction with the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence. In the arguments made by each faction, you can see how each interprets the 2nd Amendment. But it still boils down to what the Supreme Court has to say about the amendment.
Each can bring up a point about what they think it says, but my heart still lies with how the NRA interrprets it. The other side can still not come up with a valid, solid argument on the subject. Honestly I have not seen an argument made by the opposing side that makes any sense. They pull up, or create statistics that can have holes poked in them, they can not hold up.
Yet from an unbiased view I can make, the 2nd amendment is a big gray area that can be interpreted in many different ways. This argument will never be settled or even comprimised on in the near future. There may be a lot of regulations put on guns, but they will never go away not matter what the law.

Most of amendments were created with a gray area, leaving it open for different interpretation. They were created that way, and that's essentially what the court system is for too. That's why thousands of people delve into government/history studies as well. It's just part of the ridiculous process.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jill. The gray area leaves topics open for different interpretation.
