It's unconstitutional to question guns!
Jonah Goldberg at the National Review's blog is laughing about the curious wording of PA's gun rights amendment.
A reader informs me that the Pennsylvania state constitution says "The Right of Citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the state shall not be questioned."
I love that. Presumably there's a specific history to that language and how it should be interpreted. But I just love that a layman's reading suggests that it's unconstitutional to question the right to bear arms. It certainly sounds like this is an imposition on free speech.
I mean, if I'm sitting at a I-Hop in Philly and I say "You know Tom, I think we should revisit the whole 'right to bear arms' thing..." can a cop draw down on me and tell me to lie down on the floor and put my hands behind my back?
