Quoting the 2nd Amendment you get:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
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?
