Chuck Schumer is going to have an apoplectic fit when he realizes that he inadvertently endorsed both the Second Amendment and the militia movement. Undoubtedly you are asking yourself, "When did Chuck ever endorse anything in the Bill of Rights or the Constitution?" He did not do it intentionally.
When attacking the U.S. military and the success of the troop surge Chuck said: "The violence in Anbar has gone down despite the Surge, not because of the Surge. The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from Al Qaeda said to these tribes: We have to fight Al Qaeda ourselves."
— Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), Congressional Record, 9/5/07, p. S 11090
Tribes? Tribes generally do not have standing, professional armies. Each adult male is expected to be willing and able to fight to defend themselves and their families. Able meaning that they provide their own weapons. And not rely on a central government or agency to defend them. Sounds like the militia in the U.S. now and in the revolutionary days. And is that not what the Second Amendment is all about? Yes, according to men like Franklin, Jefferson, Hancock, Washington, Lee, Adams, and on and on. Yes, that is what the Second Amendment is all about. So "We the people..." can protect ourselves and our families from whatever threat we face. Please, when Chuck realizes what he has done, will someone get a picture?
