-- J Carlton, Calgary

I think that the next time I hear some self-hating American say that the Second Amendment applies only to state's militias I'm going to ask them why, - in these "modern" times, i.e. 1984, Rhode Island voters approved a referendum proposal to call a new Constitutional Convention, (which was elected in November 1985 and convened in January 1986 and on January 20, 1987, when "the state's first new constitution in 144 years was officially entered into the state Archives), - the right to keep and bear arms was written in WITHOUT the preceding preamble sentence of the U.S. Constitution of 1789 but instead in the less encumbered simplistic mode of: The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
