To help make it clearer...the article is about the Louisiana State Senate.

And 3 cheers for them!

I believe this is the second time they ran this survey, and didnt care for the results of the first one.


4 cheers for them.

I just seen it, maybe I forgot, thats happening alot lately, and I knew I lead a sheltered life , but OMG, that is really bad.

I voted anyway. Felt good.

Just took it myself. 97% agree that the right to bear arms is in fact covered in the 2nd amendment.

USA Today Poll < http://www.usatoday.com/news/quickquestion/2007/november/popup5895.htm >

Does the Second Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?

In reality, the correct answer to that poll should be 'NO'.

The problem I have with that poll is that the Second Amendment does NOT "give" individuals anything. It PROTECTS the right of the people to keep and bear arms from infringement by government. - Big difference!

Liberals want us to believe that the US Constitution "grants" us these rights as enumerated in the Bill of Rights. - So if the Constitution "grants" us those rights, then a Constitutional Amendment could take them away. WRONG ! ! ! -- These are "unalienable rights" granted by the Creator and cannot be revoked by a Constitutional Amendment. Only the Creator can revoke these rights.

Hah! Growing up in Slidell, I went to church with A.G. Crowe, one of the senators who supported this bill.
