The Right To Bear Arms

[Lesh]

All this hair splitting over the prefatory clause, and outright IGNORING the operative clause is further proof that the gun grabbers are not acting in good faith.

The prefatory clause announces a purpose. Not the sole purpose, but the important government purpose. (Militia)

The operative clause holds the legal effect intended. (right of the people...shall not be infringed)

What does the 2nd Amendment actually do?

Establish a militia?

of

Protect the right of the people?

Our Second Amendment is about the security of a free State not individual liberty or natural rights. States have a right to organize their own militias.

The US Supreme Court has consistently ruled it an individual right.

Why is that? There are no Individual terms in our Second Article of Amendment. All terms are collective and plural.

No, they are not.

Yes, they are. See how easy that is without any valid arguments, right wingers. Too lazy while being hypocrites about hard work?

Sure, it is easy to spout inaccurate information. You do it quit often.

But the 1st Amendment does no protect a collective right to free speech. Nor does it protect a collective right to free exercise of religion. Nor does it protect a collective right to petition the gov't for redress.

The 4th Amendment does not protect a collective from unreasonable search and seizure.

The 6th Amendment does not protect a collective right to a speedy trial.

Daniel, you are welcome to disagree. That just means you are wrong. Every constitutional scholar worth his salt, and the US Supreme Court has always ruled that the Bill of Rights is about individual rights.

Our federal Constitution is express not implied in any way. If you have to imply, you are already on the slippery slope to fallacy.

Yes, it expressly states that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Yes, well regulated militia of the whole and entire People, have literal recourse to our Second Amendment; the unorganized militia as Individuals of the People do not.

Subject only to the police power, the right of the individual citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. (Illinois State Constitution)

And the militia is gathered, when needed, from the population. As I have said, you are welcome to disagree with constitutional scholars and the US Supreme Court. But your opinion carries very little weight.

That is the whole Point, right winger. The People are the Militia not Individuals. There is no such Thing as well regulated militia of Individuals under our Constitutional form of Government.

Yes, there is. A militia, especially in the time our constitution was written, was individuals who would answer a call to arms. Not a call to collect their gov't firearms. But a call to bring their own firearms.

This is a sovereign right of a State not individuals:

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.

And whose right to bear arms shall not be infringed? That's right, the people, NOT the militia, the people.

Well regulated militia is declared Necessary not optional to the security of a free State. It really is that simple.

Thanks for posting the full Amendment.

Note that it points out the reason it exists "A Well Regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state..."

 

[Lesh]

Doesn't matter, the 2nd specifically provides for the right of the PEOPLE to bear arms, not the militia, not the state, the PEOPLE

Yea...we're not talking about a militia made up of farm anaimals

That means that people have to be allowed to have firearms.

In order to be part of a militia...which no longer exists

Daniel, how DO you remove a tyrant who controls the firearms and the military if you have no weapons at all?

You'll note that Article 1 Section 8 Clause 15 (16?) describes the USE of that militia to put DOWN the type of insurrection you claim the 2A promotes.

And in fact it was used to do just that in Shay's Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion

Sure, that's a reason WHY the right is protected, but WHAT is being protected from infringement by the government? The right of PEOPLE to bear arms.

Yes, there is. A militia, especially in the time our constitution was written, was individuals who would answer a call to arms. Not a call to collect their gov't firearms. But a call to bring their own firearms.

This is a sovereign right of a State not individuals:

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.

But the individuals have to be in possession of their own firearms in order to bring them to muster.

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.

Keep and bear is not the same as private ownership.

From Article 1, Section 8 of our federal Constitution:

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

Then operative words are KEEP and BEAR. To have the right to KEEP, means they shall not be taken away. To BEAR means to carry on one's person, which means they can't be taken away.

Think about it for a month or so. Then get back to me.

1. Interesting. A plain reading of what you wrote reveals that you are claiming Shay's Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion were attempts to remove a tyrant. Which tyrant would that have been?
2. Yes, a militia is made up of PEOPLE, and it is PEOPLE who have the right to bear arms, NOT the militia and NOT the state, but the PEOPLE.
3. The right does not expire because there are no militias around right now. In fact, the right needs to be protected so if we should ever need to call up a militia, we could. Your argument falls flat on that one.

There is no such thing as a collective right that is independent of an individual right.

You are very confused.

Who has a right to assemble? Is that a right held individually or by a group?

You don't know the answer.

There is if you understand the context. Our Second Amendment is not about Individual rights.

How can one person peaceably assemble? Who would that person assemble with if not another person who desired to peaceably assemble with that person?

It takes two (or more) to peaceably assemble...and it takes a specific cause for which the assembly is made.

But, each individual has an independent right to assemble.

ALL RIGHTS held collectively are also held individually.

An individual's right to assemble (with others) means nothing if nobody else wants to assemble with that individual.

Still waiting for a collectivist to insist the right to free speech only applies if you're a member of a licensed, trained and government approved protest group. You know, to be consistent and all about who the people are.

If a rouge US governing body decides to do away with the Constitution, the people have the right to defend it, form their own well regulated militia and shoot back. To do this they need the firearms that are guaranteed to be available to them. That is exactly how we got out from under British rulers. We were armed.

Go to school, little one.

You're trying, but failing. Your logic is non-existent. Go to school.

Subject only to the police power, the right of the individual citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. (Illinois State Constitution)

And the militia is gathered, when needed, from the population. As I have said, you are welcome to disagree with constitutional scholars and the US Supreme Court. But your opinion carries very little weight.

That is the whole Point, right winger. The People are the Militia not Individuals. There is no such Thing as well regulated militia of Individuals under our Constitutional form of Government.

There is no such thing as a collective right that is independent of an individual right.

You are very confused.

Who has a right to assemble? Is that a right held individually or by a group?

You don't know the answer.

There is if you understand the context. Our Second Amendment is not about Individual rights.

How can one person peaceably assemble? Who would that person assemble with if not another person who desired to peaceably assemble with that person?

It takes two (or more) to peaceably assemble...and it takes a specific cause for which the assembly is made.

But, each individual has an independent right to assemble.

ALL RIGHTS held collectively are also held individually.

This is a States' right not an Individual right:

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.

Go to school.

I'm afraid he'd just argue with the teacher and insist that everyone in the history of America that ever studied the Constitution is wrong, that he's right and that he wins all the arguments.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

All this hair splitting over the prefatory clause, and outright IGNORING the operative clause is further proof that the gun grabbers are not acting in good faith.

The prefatory clause announces a purpose. Not the sole purpose, but the important government purpose. (Militia)

The operative clause holds the legal effect intended. (right of the people...shall not be infringed)

What does the 2nd Amendment actually do?

Establish a militia?

of

Protect the right of the people?

Our Second Amendment is about the security of a free State not individual liberty or natural rights. States have a right to organize their own militias.

The US Supreme Court has consistently ruled it an individual right.

Why is that? There are no Individual terms in our Second Article of Amendment. All terms are collective and plural.

No, they are not.

Yes, they are. See how easy that is without any valid arguments, right wingers. Too lazy while being hypocrites about hard work?

Sure, it is easy to spout inaccurate information. You do it quit often.

But the 1st Amendment does no protect a collective right to free speech. Nor does it protect a collective right to free exercise of religion. Nor does it protect a collective right to petition the gov't for redress.

The 4th Amendment does not protect a collective from unreasonable search and seizure.

The 6th Amendment does not protect a collective right to a speedy trial.

Daniel, you are welcome to disagree. That just means you are wrong. Every constitutional scholar worth his salt, and the US Supreme Court has always ruled that the Bill of Rights is about individual rights.

Our federal Constitution is express not implied in any way. If you have to imply, you are already on the slippery slope to fallacy.

Yes, it expressly states that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

That is the whole Point, right winger. The People are the Militia not Individuals. There is no such Thing as well regulated militia of Individuals under our Constitutional form of Government.

Yes, there is. A militia, especially in the time our constitution was written, was individuals who would answer a call to arms. Not a call to collect their gov't firearms. But a call to bring their own firearms.

This is a sovereign right of a State not individuals:

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.

And whose right to bear arms shall not be infringed? That's right, the people, NOT the militia, the people.

The People are the Militia. You are either well regulated and have literal recourse to our Second Amendment or subject to the traditional police power of the State as unorganized militia and Individual civil Persons under the common law.

Subject only to the police power, the right of the individual citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. (Illinois State Constitution)

I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."
— George Mason, in Debates in Virginia Convention on
Ratification of the Constitution, Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788

Which was nothing less than gross overreach.

 

[Lesh]

Then operative words are KEEP and BEAR. To have the right to KEEP, means they shall not be taken away. To BEAR means to carry on one's person, which means they can't be taken away.

And the word "Militia" is the reason for the Amendment

Well regulated militia is declared Necessary not optional to the security of a free State. It really is that simple.

Thanks for posting the full Amendment.

Note that it points out the reason it exists "A Well Regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state..."

I posted instructions for danielpalos to learn about commas, I mistakenly presumed that you would learn from it too. Apparently, neither of you could learn from that one, how about this one?

Are you really so ignorant about punctuation in the English language or are you pretending to be ignorant? How can we tell?

 

[Lesh]

Course there is no militia anymore so...

Did someone tell you that a comma negates what comes before it?

That clause is there for a reason. It tells you WHY the entire sentence exists

If it's no longer necessary....AMEND!!! Otherwise, the right of the people shall not be infringed, so SHUT THE FUCK UP! I GET A FUCKING MACHINE GUN!

Course there is no militia anymore so...

Yet there has been no amendment, so fuck off.
