If a woman's "right" to an abortion should be funded by the federal government, then it stands to reason that our right to own a firearm should be funded by the federal government.
First lets defund BATFE. With out of control crap like project gunrunner, the new ban on tactical shotguns (deemed not to have sporting purposes, can you say IDPA, IPSC and USPSA? And what about second amendment rights revolving around self defense?) By the way, nearly any search on project gunrunner show that a Border Patrol Agent died as a result of this project. How many civilians, fed employees must die before this renagade bureau is ended?

So, if Major Bean believes the 14th Amendment was written to apply to freed slaves after the Civil War, then the 2nd Amendment, mentioning "armed militias" was written to apply to time immediately following the American Revolution?
Just pulling you leg. I know it still applies (as does the 14th Amendment).
