Quoting the 2nd Amendment you get:

How can the Constitution not be political? It defines the structure of our government. The Constitutional Convention that bore it in 1787 was political. To my way of reading English, the 2nd Amendment seems unclear. When did we have a "well regulated Militia?" Is everybody, criminal or mentally unstable entitled to have a gun to support a Militia?
