Another Good Analogy

In comments to this anti-gun screed:

Let's, for the sake of argument, suppose that the Second Amendment dealt with books, not arms or weapons, and read like this:

"A well educated electorate, being necessary to the maintenance of a free State, the right of the people to own and read books, shall not be infringed."

Does anyone really believe that liberals would claim that only people who were eligible to vote should be allowed to buy and read books? Or that a person should have to have voted in the last election before the government would permit him or her to buy a book? Would the importation of books be banned if they did not meet an "educational purpose" test? Would some States limit citizens to buying "one book a month"? Would inflammatory "assault books" be banned in California?

The Sensible Progressive takes the whole thing apart here.
