I dunno, we have a couple folks running around right now that tried just this and i bet none of the major players ever see a day in prison much less the gallows.

then we have to also take “well regulated” militia at face value, as well.

Perhaps it has been the "best" argument, but it is still a very, very weak one when you read what the framers wrote at the same time in their notes and to one another. Couple their contemporaneous writings with what private citizens at the time owned, and your argument falls flat on its face.

The founders knew in the very fiber of their being that the only way to keep a tyrannical government at bay was for it to fear the governed, not the other way around.

A big piece of the 2nd Amendment was due to how England tried to control the colonies - it’s to protect against a corrupt or tyrannical government. Sadly this has been a massive failure because our government knows not a soul on here will use their guns today to stop tyranny or corruption. Nobody is scared of your guns. Hell, Democrats are the ones stacking bodies these days while Conservatives whine and cry on internet chat forums.

And to the east of Birmingham, there is an outfit that rents tanks to individuals.

Think the billboard reads “experience driving a tank.” Definitely not an Abrams.

“well regulated.”


"Well regulated" and "militia", in context of the late 18th Century, meant that the militia units drilled and practiced regularly so they could function as a unit.

It wasn't specifying a requirement, it was explaining just what the hell they meant by "militia". A group of citizens ready, willing and able to defend themselves and their community.

Period. Full stop.

I've always been happy to see the Left completely whiff on attacking the 2nd A. "Arms", not "guns". Can you breed an anthrax colony in your garage? Maybe whip up some sarin gas at the duck camp? Of course not. So we do accept some regulation. But they insist on an absolutist attack and we keep winning

A liberal fig like RFK sees "well regulated" and gets excited at the thought of more government control.

Maybe this is a moot point. If there was a need to overthrow the modern government, there’s no way personal arms can reasonably counter the modern DoD.

The second amendment is part of the first 10

The first ten are specific to individuals -and are called the bill of rights

These amendments don't give us that right -we have those rights already
It simply gives examples of the rights people have inherently and is not all inclusive

There is no question about 'regulation' as you imply -Shall Not be Infringed
