Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The second amendment is nothing what you "gun righters" think it is. It is a prescribed method for maintaining a ground force..without having to have a professional army. There is no right to wild west justice, hunting, or anything else you guys imagine.
It's terrible that the NRA continues to push for the unfettered access of guns to every imbecile with an agenda. Some 40K citizens and LEOs die each year because of this insanity. And unsatisfied with that bloodbath..the NRA continues to push for more absurd laws..like "Stand your ground". Hopefully..that was the bridge to far.
Im proud of you! Not only are you a fool, but you have the energy to let everyone know it!
Time and again you are absolutely wrong, but totally certain!!
The down-side is when corrected, you continue to post the same erroneous opinion.
For example:
George Mason, Father of the Bill of Rights:"I ask, Who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers." (Jonathan Elliot, The Debates of the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, [NY: Burt Franklin,1888] p.425-6)
The Constitution gave Congress the power to raise and support a national army, and to organize the Militia. This is because an army didnt naturally exist, while the Militia only had to be organized: it always existed. (See enumerated powers in Article 1,Section 8.)
The Supreme Court, in US v. Miller, (1939) militia system implied the general obligation of all adult male inhabitants to possess arms, and, with certain exceptions, to cooperate in the work of defence. It concluded that the militia was primarily civilians.
Today, federal law defines the militia of the United States to include all able-bodied males from 17 to 45 and members of the National Guard up to age 64, but excluding those who have no intention of becoming citizens, and active military personnel. (US Code Title 10, sect. 311-313)
You serve as the best of all proof of the following:
Not facts, nor data, nor experience, nor rational debate will convince Liberals.
