Who does he think makes up the militia?

[Richbirdhunter]

Ok, let's have it his way. I am a member in good standing of the Denton County militia

He's a hollywood actor. You actually expected a different response than the one he gave?
He met my expectations exactly.

I'm not convinced that this is being accurately reported.....

From a 2013 article:
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/mic ... fas-heroes

On the one hand:

Dreyfuss said, “Well, first of all, I don't think the NRA is a villain, and I don't think that the people against the NRA are villains. I believe that's a problem of the press, which started with an us-them problem. I do believe that the Second Amendment is ambiguously written and we will never have an agreement on whether it's about gun ownership or a militia.”

“And at the same time I believe that there is an inappropriate amount of gun violence and I think we should turn this over to the people who are expert at this, and the original mandate of the NRA was to train responsible gun ownership and the NRA should handle it,” said Dreyfuss.

On the other hand:

“They should train excellence in gun ownership, they should create the short list of the guns that are allowed at home,” he said. “And every other gun that they say is legal, like people killers and nuclear-tipped semiautomatics, should be held in armories owned and controlled by the NRA, not the government.”

Now this article is from 2013. The OP's is current. So which Dreyfuss is speaking?

If you do a search of this forum on the word "Dreyfuss", this is not the first thread about him.

Who asked him?

I don't care what he says.

What do actors do? They shoot off their mouths and pretend to be something or someone they're not. Never understand why people give these people so much credence. I guess it's the Hollywood dream, and most of these celebrities live in one. I've also notice a lot of these actors/celebrities that haven't done anything in a long time all of a sudden come out with stuff like this. These people crave and live for the limelight. Just look at all of the attention he's getting on this forum.

I pay little attention to the pronouncements of folks whose only verifiable skill is pretending to be someone they're not.

This falls under my principle of respecting others' opinions for what they are, and giving them all the attention they merit.

[tomneal]

It's not just Dreyfuss

[Rrash]

So who does he think the 2A applies to when it says, "...the right of the people..."?
