Right-wing nonsense on the Second Amendment

Time to go after some of the wackos on the right. Looks like Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle never read the leading opinion on the Second Amendment--D.C. v. Heller. It did not interpret the 2nd Amend to give a legal right to insurrection or revolution or a legal right to keep and bear arms for such purposes. The Second Amendment is not absolute. According to Heller, it protects only weapons in common use and for legal purposes. Insurrection is not legal. Looks like she never checked the Constitution to see what was in there or wasn't. Angle is just another sad example of how candidates seem to prefer to lead from the fringes, rather than the political middle. Can't the Republicans find better candidates? LINK
