Gun Groups Slam Stevens’ ‘Idiotic’ Idea to Alter Second Amendment

Gun-rights advocates slammed retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens’ suggestion to revise the Second Amendment to specify that Americans have the right to bear arms only when serving in militias…

Erich Pratt, spokesman for the Gun Owners of America, told Newsmax that the view represented “sour grapes on his part.”

Pratt referred to Stevens ending up on the losing side of a 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court in 2008 that upheld individual gun rights in Washington under the Second Amendment.

“His view lost,” Pratt said. “His view was the minority on the court.”
