  • Ok lets get this straight for all the people who DON'T UNDERSTAND THE 2nd Amendment.

    The 2nd Amendment does NOT.... must i say it again... DOES NOT give YOU an individual the right to have a weapon.

    The 2nd Amenment DOES... I repeat DOES... gives the state the right to have a well regulated and armed MILITIA.

    Get it clear... owning a gun is not your constitutional right, it is a PRIVLEDGE given to you by the government.

    "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"

    What part of "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" do you NOT understand?

  • I think Mario is forgetting that when this was written the US defense was made up of citizens who brought their own firearms to the battlefield. If farmer Joe had a cannon in the barn, so much the better.

    And in those days the framers weren't all that trusting of any government not abusing its power.

    Hence the need for the public to be on the ready to toss the bums out, if need be.

    No you are wrong. It is a constitutional right. Better read up some more before you spout supposed "facts". I also corrected your spelling errors. 😆

    Yeah Steve, just think of how much safer our boys would be in Iraq & Afghanistan if those pesky locals didn't have weapons!

    FWIW, more than ever I don't trust our government of power abuse- and that's exactly what the framers of the Constitution had in mind. Yeah, and I'd already be subject to arrest if I had a nice 155 howitzer (with live ammo) in the garage, (dangerous ordinance) or maybe a full auto AK 47 without a permit.

    So we're already getting infringed upon because a few nutso cases decided to back up a truckload of ammonium nitrate next to a Federal Building and set it off.

    Who was it that said "those who would trade freedom for security will get neither?"

    I had to read this again to see if he was joking. I don't think he is, lol.

    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.

    Not militia, it says people. All people. That is why there is a distinction between the two. It doesn't say "the right of the militia to keep and bear arms and the rest of you can have guns because we are such a nice government..."

    And I just noticed, for the first time- it says: well-regulated militia. We've all seen what an unregulated militia can do.

    Overthrew the British?

    Actually it's more the "shall not be infringed" that sticks out.

    But I know what you mean.

    I don't want the local crack dealer to have a LAWS rocket.

    It's just time for us to admit the constution is out of date.

    Sure that's another topic but there's no one that can't see that most of what we call "freedoms" have been whittled away by shifting public opinion on any given season.

    Not to mention that the constitution itself lives and dies at the whim of 9 guys.

    I think there are more on the Politburo.

    And we have traded freedom for security.

    We made that deal long ago.

  • And we have traded freedom for security.

    I agree.

    I must admit I feel more secure with my loaded glock and loaded shotgun near my person when in the home over knowing some cop is half assing it out on patrol 10 miles from my house.

    Yea they are perceived as terrorists.

  • What you are called is determined by which side of the fight you stand.

    Terrorist to some is a Patriot to others.

    (that is unless you obey the law and have it unloaded and in a locked cabinet.)

    😮

    Of course unless you're sitting facing the door or window and loaded it won't help much.

    And if that does come to pass imagine the world of shit you'll get should you actually kill or injure the perp.
