How do you regulate and not infringe simultaneously?


By being capable of nuanced thought.

Perhaps you should reconsider whether those phrases are meant to be interpreted together if doing so presents an absurdity.


I can’t even imagine trying to argue that two clauses in the same sentence shouldn’t be interpreted together. That would fly in the face of just about every norm of legal interpretation.

...licence. I guess after 20+ years with ATF I've become problematic. My "request" to attend my interview has been set for June 15th here in Atlanta. That's exactly one month before my renewal date. I'm not feeling comfortable in this "interview" situation . I believe they're after my fully automatic weapons I've collected since 1982. Already contacted my attorney, the one who helps me with my HOA. He will be in attendance.

I'll keep you posted.


Get "sick" and reschedule the meeting after July 15th after your FFL renewal.

The "weeding out" has started. It is obviously a part of their master plan.

They will make it harder, and harder, and harder, to buy a GUN!

Biden is a coward! He won't face the criticism and opposition!

For someone who claims to be capable of nuanced thought, it's strange how you don't understand that regulated is describing militia, not the right to bear arms.

And it has nothing to do with government. The founders intended for a militia to be orderly and organized with rules established from within. It never mentions being regulated by any government agency.

It means to be organized with rules from within and with a proper chain of command.

You don’t read or interpret sentences in pieces. All three clauses before shall not be infringed relate to each other. “Well regulated militia” is synonymous with “the right of the people to keep and bear arms”. The middle clause provides the explanation/justification.

Madison’s original draft of the amendment confirms that this is the intention:

quote:

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, a well-armed and well-regulated militia being the best security of a free country

In what way were arms regulated at the founding? Which arms were banned? What permits were needed by citizens to own them? Were they registered with the state in any way? Did anyone undergo any kind of background check?

Surely if owning a firearm needed to be "well regulated" it would have started off that way, correct?

A well educated citizenry is paramount to the function of a free state, therefore the right of the people to keep and read books shall not be infringed.




"Regulated" in the context you are citing means "trained/equipped/prepared". It does not mean "government restrictions on rights". Furthermore, it is not a prerequisite for the keeping and bearing of arms, it is cited as part of the reason for doing so.

There is no "therefore" in the second amendment.

"A well regulated citizenry, being necessary to the function of a free state, the right of the people to keep and read books, shall not be infringed."

Language matters and punctuation matters.

I don't disagree with anything here. I support the Heller interpretation of the second amendment. I just think its hilarious when people try to pretend like the clauses don't relate to each other.

it's implied, and it's a distinction without a difference.

They do. The first is a brief statement of justification for the second.

This was an operation that went horribly wrong quickly! I still, to this day, blame the feebees who let their egos overrule their better judgement.

So what were yall doing there? Trying to infringe on citizens' 2a rights? Moral support? Honestly, if we're gonna start reviewing ffl holders, people like you should be first. You can be a party to mass slaughter, but I'm rejected from all nfa class 3 stamps because of some plants in my closet. Well according to question 11e on the 4473 I'm not allowed to purchase anything nowadays
