Richard Dreyfuss:
Rewrite Second Amendment So It Applies To Militia Only
by AWR Hawkins 23 Jul 2015
In a July 23 interview published in the New York
Observer, actor Richard Dreyfuss said
he would like to rewrite the 2nd Amendment to make it clear it applies to the
militia rather than individual rights.
Dreyfuss said this after being asked, “What was the Founding
Fathers’ biggest mistake” and “What article of the Constitution would you
rewrite?”
Dreyfuss said their
biggest mistake was in not “[making] public education part of the
Constitution.”
He then addressed the 2nd Amendment:
The Second Amendment. It’s the only Amendment that’s
obscurely written, and I would have made it clear. I would have said, “This is
for establishing militia and everyone has the right to participate in that
militia, and you can have a gun if you participate in that militia.”
He suggested his desire to rewrite the amendment springs
from the divide over gun control vs. gun rights in our country. He said, “One
group says no guns even if some guy has a knife to my child’s throat and the NRA
people say give me a semiautomatic missile or I’ll kill you.”
Dreyfuss then compared guns to cars, suggesting we will
likely always have guns just like we will likely always have cars. He then
added: “[But] no one would let anyone behind the wheel of a car without
being trained in its use, so why can’t we have that?”
