A liberal’s lament: The NRA might be right after all - Opinion - USATODAY.com

This term, the Supreme Court may finally take up the Voldemort Amendment, the part of the Bill of Rights that shall not be named by liberals. For more than 200 years, progressives and polite people have avoided acknowledging that following the rights of free speech, free exercise of religion and free assembly, there is “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Of course, the very idea of finding a new individual right after more than two centuries is like discovering an eighth continent in constitutional law, but it is hardly the cause of celebration among civil liberties groups.

Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this one for a very long time. I’ve got to give the author of this article in USA Today, Jonathan Turley, credit as it is most certainly due. You see, the “liberals” seem to be able to find rights where they want to in the Constitution (show me where the right to privacy is in there) and they also seem to find a lack of rights where they want to (or ignore rights at will) as well as indicated by their stated views on the Second Amendment. Mr. Turley has finally seen the light and I hope it spreads.
