The intended effect of the "contended comma" in the 2nd Amendment specifically and precisely crafts the meaning of the sentence to mean:

BECAUSE the government must maintain a standing army...

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20596154


Actually, I'm going to have to stop you right there. The founders were absolutely AGAINST the formation of a standing army. That was part of their reasoning for including the 2nd amendment as a civil right, so that the army could not overpower its citizens.

The intended effect of the "contended comma" in the 2nd Amendment specifically and precisely crafts the meaning of the sentence to mean:

BECAUSE the government must maintain a standing army...

and

BECAUSE we just got done writing a WHOLE bunch of stuff about TYRANNY being the end result of ALL governments...
(This was assumed as a given...it was the FUCKING CONSTITUTION - written to prevent tyrannical government.)

... the PEOPLE must be able to keep arms to protect themselves against the standing army of the government.

PERIOD.

Also, the term ARMS meant the 'arms of the day' which means that the PEOPLE should all have military grade heavy weapons - whatever the government has.

*SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED*
Means that no law can EVER be passed to limit the keeping and WIELDING of military grade heavy weapons by the people.

If the framers had meant "pistols," they would have said PISTOLS.



Therefore, THIS is how the 2nd Amendment should be interpreted:

**
Because the government must maintain a standing army, there must never be ANY kind of restriction WHATSOEVER on the people's RIGHT to own and carry military grade heavy weaponry, because when the government has bigger guns, the people are oppressed.
**
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20596154


Fuckin A. Something is really wrong when the military and law enforcement can have all the military tech they want, but we cant. That is precisely the situation the founding fathers wanted to avoid.

The "law" as you so blithely call it is not LAW, but statute.

All "laws" passed to limit the RIGHT to keep and bear arms are unconstitutional. Period.

Therefore, there is no point to discussing the "laws" that have been passed over the years to slowly but surely ELIMINATE the ability of the people to exercise their RIGHTS.

and yes, the American people have already been subjugated to the point that IF told to turn in their weapons, THEY WILL!

You are splitting hairs that divert the point - you must be a shill.

The framers were against a standing army, and allowed for "militias" that are organized and trained groups whos' ARMS are kept at an ARMORY for the time when they are needed.

Splitting that hair is another subject entirely. The reality is that we got a standing army, which is ten times WORSE than the militia that the framers intended.

So, the need for the people to retains their RIGHT is tenfold.

sounds right to me. And when we were wide open and free I don't remember any mass shootings being recorded. Mass shootings meant "Showdown at the OK Corral". I have been shot and I am against gun control. Freedom is a grand experiment that must not fail.

Let me make this real simple for everyone to understand.

We do have a gun problem but it's not from those of us who own guns legally and follow the laws it's from criminals who don't abide by the law and governments who seek to enforce their will on others. As long as those two entities are armed and creating havoc I will never give up my protection from them.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15292827


Enlightened self interest then demands 'we' as a society aid these people in education and opportunity. "we', the people, and the ' social contract'. of which those of the enlightenment, including our founders spoke about and wanted to develop. Less crimes and better people. All of society benefits.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20596154


Not really. In a historical sense, 'militia' referred to all able-bodied male citizens capable of taking up arms in defense of the country. That concept still exists in US Code Title 10 section 311, as 'unorganized' militia. There is no requirement that this militia be trained.

I have no idea where you come up with the belief that they intended for personal weapons to be stored at an armory. I'll need some evidence for that one.

You're a laughing stock, illegitimate, and the only amendment left to the constitution is the second one!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20812641

Don't worry, folks. The government is too incompetent.

Name me a current government program that meets 90% of their mission objectives.

Imagine the government confiscating 90% of America's guns - 270 million out of 300 million estimated to be in free hands.

That still leaves 30 million guns in the hands of very pissed Americans.

So, no, I don't think the Federales have the manpower or intelligence to implement complete gun control.

And even if they did, I do have a lathe... what's next? Lathe control?

If they stopped all guns from being sold RIGHT NOW, in the year 2100 A.D. there still would be many millions of guns - and ammunition.

I own a rifle designed 100 years ago, still hits targets out to 300 yards with WWII ammo.
