Well Regulated Militia
Gun humpers tell me that the 2nd Amendment covers all guns. Connie constitutional “experts” have also argued that. Like a fool, I took their word for it. But I finally decided to read the amendment. It CLEARLY STATES the amendment is for militias.
“A well regulated militia, necessary for the security of the state, the right to bear arms shall not be infringed.” That’s it. Finis. Nowhere does it mention regular citizens, hunters, or white men with small penises. I have just realized yet another massive Connie hoodwink.
Dearest DUmmy,
In order to properly understand what it is that you're so feebly attempting to understand (and failing), one must read the preamble to tbe bill of rights (be honest, DUmmy, you didn't even know that the bill of rights had a preamble, did you?):
"THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution."
In short, the second amendment authorizes nothing, and restricts only government.
Your first mistake is thinking that protected fundamental constitutional rights have something to do with them being authorized or allowed by government.
That isn't how a negative charter of liberties works.
