If you are going to try to apply the Second Amendment in this case, you might as well argue that it gives all Americans the right to wear tank top shirts (you know, so we can have "bare arms"). Either way is a gross misreading of the text.
Yeah it didn't seem to make very much sense to me either. But it did happen to catch my eye...I guess I'll blame it on the fact that it was very late at night and I was kinda sleepy.
