Back up to Mike Baram's reply and consider this: The name of this thread is... Important words are Amendment in Danger.
The 7th is meaningless because it refered to Continental Dollars. It should be $2000 today.
Back to the second, retaining the thought that the revisionists say the Bill of Rights is obsolete. The well regulated militia was abolished as a Federally funded entity by Kennedy, when he disbanded all forms of Civil Defense.
The one federal office that kept the second amendment alive was the Director of Civilian Marksmanship, that provided free rifles and ammunition to civilian gun clubs for use of members at no cost. Kennedy managed to throttle this also. Incidentally, the DCM was organized by President Grant as a result of his seeing what happened to city boys who are given a rifle and pushed into the front lines. He thought they should have a chance at survival. Unfortunately, the DCM was not mentioned in the second amendment. The revisionists say the whole constitution and especially the second amendment are obsolete. "They" are members of "The New Constitutional Convention, Inc."
Now that each person has been given the alternatives of buying one's own weapons or going without, the result is chaos. It could easily be put right by having congress adequately fund the DCM once more.
You figure out what to do to put the 7th amendment right...I can't. But, I have great confidence in you glib talkers out there.
