That's what they are saying, besides they are only being denied to purchase new guns there is no search/seizure for existing weapons. I'm sure most individuals are not in that big a hurry to join ""A well regulated Militia..."

Where does it say that someone has to be in a well regulated militia? Maybe you need to reread what it says, as well as study the language in the 2nd amendment.

Why don't you read and take it on face value not interpret it to your own vision.
"The right of THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". Does The People in the first amendment only refer to the press? To those in political parties?

I have not found where those on the NFL are barred from gun purchase(s), have you? I stand corrected on my earlier post that I was responding to, I thought they were being blocked based on the posters statement...

If we won't allow them to purchase firearms, why should we allow them to vote?
Per the wishes of the NRA, we do allow them to purchase firearms.
Why should they get to vote? Because they have not been convicted of any crime.
