Much is being made of Hillary Clinton’s less-than-unequivocal gun rights stand in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. She notably stopped short of agreeing that there is a constitutional right to bear arms. As a result, she will be further targeted by Donald Trump for wanting to “abolish” the sacrosanct Second Amendment.
But like so many things constitutional–and political–context matters. Especially when it comes to Founding Fathers fodder. A contemporary reading of the MILITIA-CONTEXT Second Amendment guarantees interpretation and subjectivity, if not consensus 21st-century common sense.
