Hold up
T0103E I'll let ya finish after I give someone a lesson in comprehension and the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Weichert the 2nd Amendment reads as follows.
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 following are taken from the Oxford English Dictionary, and bracket in time the writing of the 2nd amendment:
1709: "If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations."
1714: "The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world."
1812: "The equation of time ... is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial."
1848: "A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor."
1862: "It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding."
1894: "The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city."
The phrase "well-regulated" was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people's arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it.
Afterall, aren't you all about "democracy" and within a "democracy" exists checks and balances. Well... the ultimate check and balance of power is a Well equipped, IN well working order Militia.
Now what's a Militia? A Militia is the armed citizenry of course...
Security of a free State? Free State of being. Free from tyranny free from an overzealous oppressive government. Something folks of your persuasion advocate for, for some reason... Makes no sense to me what so ever what Liberals and RINOs give praise and believe rights are granted by the government. The right of the individual supercedes governments will.
The right of the people.
Militias are comprised of people. If the founding fathers had intended that militias/militia members were only armed... then it would read the right of the militia to keep and bear arms.
To keep and bear arms.
That means to purchase, assemble, trade, have in one's possession and on their person any armament fielded by a common soldier.
And finally we finish with
Shall not be infringed.
What is so difficult to understand about
SHALL. NOT. BE. INFRINGED?
By every definition of infringement, the NFA and Hughes Amendment of FOPA are significant infringements upon the right to keep and bear arms.
Now before you pull some feeble stunt, the founding fathers never saw the technological advancements, AR15s replacing muskets etc...
They never saw freedom of the press extend beyond the wooden printing press.
Now before you rest your weary head and say your bedtime prayer, OH lord. Who art in Washington DC... in the halls of Congress and the senate...
Consider this,
For a group of morons who chant Trump is literally Hitler, and then literally Stalin... can you give one valid reason why if such a tyrannical dictator is in power why more gun control measures are needed?
You expect those who value their individual liberties to take you seriously? You liberals and your RINO cohorts are a boil on the ass of freedom. My only regret is not making Trump money to buy you all a 1 way ticket out of this country to the one you want this one modeled after. You can take your political idols with ya.
