from Today’s Seattle P-I

we find the following:

Which Bill of Rights is editorial writer reading?
I’m confused. The April 2 editorial about the Second Amendment
clearly states, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall
not be infringed.” But according to your editorial, what it says is
not what it means. A later editorial about the Erie, Penn.,
stripteaser, mentions “free expression as guaranteed by the First
Amendment.” Nowhere in my copy of the Bill of Rights do I find any
reference to “free expression,” yet it appears the P-I is ready to go
to war over this slide down the slippery slope.

Of the 60 law review articles on the Second Amendment published since
1980, 54 have clearly come down on the individual interpretation side
of that amendment. Why is the term “the people” used in the Second
Amendment different from “the people” as used in the First, or the
Fourth? In fact, in U.S. vs. Verdugo-Urquidez (1990), the Supreme
Court said the individual rights protected by the Fourth Amendment
are the same type of individual rights as protected by the First and
the Second.

Are we reading the same Bill of Rights?
