The Right To Bear Arms

[BS Filter]

Wow, you really did skip English grammar and punctuation. Even more amusing is that you seem to relish boasting about your ignorance. Well, whatever floats your boat!

Says the guy with only ad hominems instead of valid arguments.

How is this an "ad hominem" argument?

Argumentum ad hominem is a fallacy. You need a valid argument for rebuttal.

The English language, grammar and punctuation is NOT a valid argument? You really did skip grammar and punctuation in school, didn't you? But now you profess to be an authority on the English language? Really?

Yes, it is when you merely claim your unsubstantiated opinion without supporting it with a valid argument.

Where does it say you can ignore the first clause due to a comma?

You're an idiot.

If anything, in a world where mobs are burning down cities and threatening people in their cars and homes, idiot politicians are defunding police departments and police officers quitting and leaving the big cities in mass — the Second Amendment is more meaningful and important today than it has been during my lifetime.

Plus we have democrats seriously planning to turn our nation into a socialist workers paradise. If that happens don’t think Norway {which is not a socialist nation,)think Cuba or Venezuela or China and Russia.

Citizens in Venezuela regret giving up their firearms.

Venezuela Banned Private Gun Ownership Less Than A Decade Ago

Venezuela banned private citizens from owning guns seven years ago, leaving firearms solely in the hands of the state. It is a decision some have come to regret.

Wrong as usual

Any state now willing to except a new constitution is free to remain separate. Require it? Will be part of the union will be on their own. New York and send it. Stop with this bullshit table.

Where does it say you can ignore the first clause due to a comma?

Who is ignoring the first clause?

You're ignoring the purpose of the first clause and giving it some meaning that it does not have. Further ignoring the second clause. Your interpretation of the entire amendment requires you to resign weird meaning to each word.

My interpretation is quite plain and requires no twisted tortured interpretation.

A well-regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free state.

The word "being" is a form of the verb "is." You know, am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been, become, feel, seem.

A well regulated militia IS necessary for the security of a free state, therefore, the right of the people to keep and....etc.

in other words, to keep the states free, they need to be able to organize a militia in times of emergency. Because that militia is drawn from the entire population, and because of past practices of having private citizens bring their own arms to participate in a militia, we (the federal government) will not exercise authority over any aspect of private citizens keeping their private arms so that they can bear them at a time of need.

Simple. Practicable. Applicable. Does not require a tortured interpretation.

Why do you motherfuckers have to complicate the **** out of everything when you know history and you know good and goddamn well what the intent was?

Why don't you motherfuckers just ******* admit exactly what we have been saying? You want to deprive us of the right to keep and bear arms and you are trying to interpret the Constitution in a way so that you can.

Do you understand that anybody who does that is a traitor and an enemy of the United States and its people.?

So the militia will consist of all able bodied men and women under the age of 45? I wonder if exceptions will be made for pregnant women and mothers?

A large number of police are quitting because they get no support from the cities that employ them. It is becoming hard to find anyone who wants to be a cop.

Perhaps the state will have to form militia groups separate from the National Guard to help keep the peace.

We can’t continue to see our cities burn every time a cop kills a black male. The cost of insurance for an urban business will be so high few except the largest corporations can afford it.

It is up to the legislature to ensure valid rules are established; there must be some exemptions for service. No one in a coma or in the hospital or even simply sick with the flu should be required to become organized and well regulated without the end justifying the means.

That all persons have the right to bear arms and the federal government cannot infringe on that?
