Parents at a high school near Dallas say the authors of a book on U.S. history misfired when they defined the Second Amendment -- and now one of the book's co-authors says the book is being revised. The work book used at Guyer High School in the city of Denton, "The United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination," includes the "summary" definition of the Second Amendment to include the right to "keep and bear arms in a state militia." The edited definition is seen by gun-rights advocates as an affront to the Second Amendment, which states in full: "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." Parents at the school criticized the book for distorting the definition of the Second Amendment in favor of those opposed to gun rights.
Isn't it a riot that one of the dads looks like this guy and loves to pose for pictures with his beloved assault weapon. Of course he would take umbrage at the mere mention of militia.
Gun-rights fanatics have an unwritten rule - the first four words of the sacred amendment don't matter, never have and never will.
