Chief Justice Warren Berger on the Second Amendment:

1. Did Justice Burger Call Gun Lobby's Take on 2nd Amendment a Fraud on the American Public?

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger once said, "The gun lobby's interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American people by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime."

The first part of this meme — "The gun lobby's interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American People by special interest groups that I have seen in my lifetime" — comes from an interview Burger gave to PBS News in 1991.

The second part of this meme — "the real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies, the militia, would be maintained for the defense of the state" — and the third part — "The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of weapon he or she desires" — comes from an articles Burger wrote for The Associated Press about the Bill of Rights in 1991.'
