RELIC OF THE 18TH CENTURY? WOULD JUDGE STEVENS DARE TO WALK UNARMED THROUGH THE STREETS OF CHICAGO, BALTIMORE, OR DETROIT?

Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens believes the students and demonstrators who protested this past weekend for gun control should seek a repeal of the Second Amendment.

"A concern that a national standing army might pose a threat to the security of the separate states led to the adoption of that amendment," Stevens wrote an op-ed published in The New York Times Tuesday, adding, "today that concern is a relic of the 18th century."
