On his program Wednesday June 12, 2013 he showed the story
of the grandmother who defended herself against an intruder with her
gun---Piers said “”this is what the 2nd amendment is for---for
people to defend themselves””
No—it was NOT written for an individual right to own guns
for self defense---OR as NRA and pro gun lobbies say “”to defend against govt
tyranny”” either.
The 2nd Amendment was SIMPLY creating a reserve
army of Americans who would defend America and the states from external
invasion and internal insurrections----essentially an internal police force or
military, but without a standing army which the Founders feared because of
their experiences with English rule and their history as Englishmen.
Constitution Article
1 Section 8 (Congress can create an army but only for 2 years at a time)
***To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of
Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
***To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the
Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the
Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service
of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of
the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the
discipline prescribed by Congress;
Article 2 Section 2
***The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and
Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when
called into the actual Service of the United States
