That's the first link I found. Honestly, there are far worse things that Bush has done than this, so it's hardly a central point of mine in any case. I only mentioned it in passing.

Guns. Army people like guns. Army people that have left the army, or are perhaps on holiday still like guns.
Guns.
My combat vet friends only have a gun for self defense or hunting.

No it does not! It gives the INDIVIDUAL the right to own a gun. The whole militia crap is a thing of the past. Supreme Court just said so!

I personally believe that law-abiding citizens should have an individual right to own guns, but that's a separate issue from what the Second Amendment actually says. It's judicial activism to interpret it to give rights which it was never intended to.
