Justice Department signals shift toward a pro-gun policy
May 8th, 2002 by Larry Burton
While it really comes as no surprise Ashcroft has shifted the governments position toward a pro-gun policy in terms of second amendment interpretation. There’s something about the second amendment’s interpretation by all the anti-gun forces that has always confused me. Their position in the past has been that the second amendment was meant to allow for arms to be guarenteed in a military or militia context only but its the military style weapons that they want to ban. It looks to me like taking their interpretation of the amendment would mean banning sporting arms while maintaining a right to ownership of military style arms like assault rifles and machine guns.
