In a climate in which bird- shot can cause a lot more foul than simply downing a fowl the second amendment debate has again churned to the sur­ face. Apparently, at least in the case of the Bush administra­ tion, having the Vice President open fire on a friend is not the best way to avoid the gun con­ trol debate and an increase in second amendment analysis. What this whole comedy of errors, exactly what the Bush administration did not need at present, yields is an­ other evaluation of just what the second amendment is and how it applies to the present time. It is a debate that is doomed to reemerge again and again until major realign­ ments of Constitutional appli­ cation and theory have been installed on a societal level.
