Ben Swann discusses the historical accuracy of rapper/music artist Ice-T’s comments on the real reason for the 2nd Amendment. Ice-T states the 2nd Amendment exists to ensure the people have a means of self defense against tyranny of both foreign and domestic origins. Ben Swann agrees, Ice-T is correct.

    • Since I've already posted this twice what the hell here goes number 3. Please for the love of whatever you consider holy understand what the law actually states before commenting on the 2nd amendment.

      “The Constitution of the United States, Analysis and Interpretation, 2008 Supplement (Senate document 110-17)” found here http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/GPO-CONAN-2008/pdf/GPO-CONAN-2008.pdf

      From the document,

      “It was not until 2008 that the Supreme Court definitively came down on the side of an “individual rights” theory. Relying on new scholarship regarding the origins of the Amendment, the Court in District of Columbia v. Heller confirmed what had been a growing consensus of legal scholars – that the rights of the Second Amendment adhered to individuals. The Court reached this conclusion after a textual analysis of the Amendment, an examination of the historical use of prefatory phrases in statutes, and a detailed exploration of the 18th century meaning of phrases found in the Amendment. Although accepting that the historical and contemporaneous use of the phrase “keep and bear Arms” often arose in connection with military activities, the Court noted that its use was not limited to those contexts. Further, the Court found that the phrase “well regulated Militia” referred not to formally organized state or federal militias, but to the pool of “able-bodied men” who were available for conscription. Finally, the Court reviewed contemporaneous state constitutions, post-enactment commentary, and subsequent case law to conclude that the purpose of the right to keep and bear arms extended beyond the context of militia service to include self-defense.”

    • And Obama, the alleged constitutional scholar, is wrong to say that the 2nd amendment is to protect hunting rights. He's not stupid when he makes this claim he's just outright lying.
