The 2nd amendment was written 225 years ago in a world that has completely changed. When people refer to the 2nd amendment, they tend to leave out the "well regulated" part of it.
What does well regulate mean, you ask? Well the act of regulating something is defined as
>to govern or direct according to rule >(1) : to bring under the control of law or constituted authority >(2) : to make regulations for or concerning
Are firearms well regulated in America? Certainly not. Firearms are practically being handed out for free. All you need is a little bit of money and a beating heart and you can purchase a firearm. The very fact that there are more firearms then people in America proves that they are not well regulated. The second amendment has been infringed on for a very long time, we must correct it by actually regulating firearms in America.

Not sure if bait, but surely you realize the context of the word "regulate" here. The definition of the words has shifted over the years. i.e. "That train is well regulated"
in proper working order

So... when they created the Bill of Rights. And every other Right in the first 10 Amendments reinforces an Individual Right... Your dumb ass thinks that this one Right was meant to only apply to a Militia. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard on the Internet.

The 1st amendment was written 225 years ago and wasn't designed to cover the internet so your shitposting should be abolished.
Gavin James
you are a retard, the whole "well regulated militia blablabla" has no force of law and is completely irrelevant. The only part that matters is the right given by the amendment, the actual reasoning is irrelevant, that's why there is no hate speech exception on the first amendment and so on.
Nathan Hughes
Everybody seems to think that they'd be able to keep the people they care about safe during a civil war. It's a potentially disastrous way of thinking. Even if a revolution were to happen with enough army deserters to put up a fair fight, the amount of devastation would be incredible. How anybody could actually find it a viable strategy is beyond me.

Josiah Hughes
What are you implying? Should we regulate guns more, doesn't that take away the point of having them for the tiny bit of leverage we have against the government? Kill yourself, saged
Easton Reyes
Heey dummy, your in luck...the writers of our constitution wrote essays about what they meant and why they meant it. Go forth and expand your mind.
Lincoln Richardson
Yes it's true
The government was not meant to do all the policing
The people were meant to police themselves. Any person with a firearm was expected to aid the local "sheriff" with capturing criminals, rather than depending on the government to do it for us
It's actually gotten to a point where it's nearly illegal to defend yourself against a criminal, and you can sometimes get in legal trouble for shooting someone that broke into your home. This is disgusting considering the slow response times of officers unless you live in an extremely wealthy white suburb where cops have nothing else to do and can get to your house in a matter of seconds.

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.
Notice anything? A comma between "free state" and "the right of the people" maybe? If you weren't special needs you'd know that there being a comma and not an "and" means the amendment established two things.
1. The right of organized armed forces 2. All people can have their own arms
The commas separate them, and if you know grammar, the well-regulated part only applies to the militia part. If it didn't, then well-regulated would also be found in the second part about the people in general or there would be an "and" instead of a comma. If it was just about a militia then what's the purpose of the part about the people? Why would there also be a right of the people mentioned with no "and" to connect the people as a whole to the militia? It's cause it's two things in one amendment, like how the first amendment established several different rights.
Learn Engrislisch.

1. State runs the militia 2. People can have their own arms without being in the militia 2. Shall not be infringed=neither of the above should have laws made against them 3. Learn commas and grammar
Grayson Phillips
This statement still means that under a constitutional order your right to a breakfast is to a well balanced one.
The idea that Shall not be Infringed somehow means no regulations whatsoever is absurd, because every right in the Constitution is regulated in some form or another. Even without a specific requirement for them to be so regulated.
Yet in the case of the right to weapons, the constitution demands the right be Well Regulated.
You have the right to a Balanced Breakfast. Not to 2 dozen donuts and a Frappucino.
Ryan Bailey

Asher Mitchell
See: English motherfucker! Do you speak it?
Isaac Hughes
And as in all amendments, you need to understand the original intent. In the case of the 2nd Amendment, the intent was for national defense, and the first law created under the 2nd Amendment was the Militia Act, which REQUIRED people to own a weapon. By law, in the first years of the republic, all citizens were forced to own a weapon.
They were also forced by law to report for military training with fines and penalties levied on any gun owner who refused to report for duty upon the orders of their Governor.
>You have the right to a Balanced Breakfast. Not to 2 dozen donuts and a Frappucino.
Who defines Balanced?
Leo Cruz
The government, that regulates.
Owen Diaz

Robert Reyes

Jaxson Harris
Nigger please
Strict constructionism > original intent
Also,
"This authority was used to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794."
There was a security issue which is why the militias were established for the time-being, The government can have military drafts but can choose not to. States can have militias but we've gone with the national guard system and an actual military instead, Texas has a state militia. It's a choice of the states when it comes to how militias work.
"The militias were divided into "divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, and companies" as the state legislatures would direct."
The acts only established guidelines for a militia that the states were expected to follow, hence the well-regulated militia part of the 2nd amendment. They didn't say no one outside the militia could have guns to themselves. Again, the amendment established two different things.

Revolutions don't always occur because people see an easy road to victory. Some, possibly most, revolutions occur because the status quo is intolerable to the degree that people will risk death to change the situation. Pretty simple stuff. Of course some organization and planning is highly recommended, IMO.
Jack Williams
>When people refer to the 2nd amendment
They mean the right of people to use guns for personal defense.
Thats what the court says.
Thats what it will say for the next 60 years with Trump's appointees.

Firearms don't make a militia, though. You can have a well-regulated militia even if it's not armed with firearms.

When we get 6-3 majority on the SCOTUS (Ginsperg is knocking on deaths door) and when Justice Cruz presides, your homo interpretations of the constitution won't mean shit bro.
There's scholars that can interpret the constitution any which way you want them to faggot. The problem you face, is that we are going to get our scholars on the court (we won a critical election) and you're scholars are going to be sitting on their fat asses at the house, writing dipshit opinion pieces and law review articles. Face it, you leftists got BTFO.
You just better hope we don't start passing constitutional amendments (we are only one state house away). We could pass whatever the fuck we wanted. We could outlaw homos, or make a baggy pants amendment (sky's the limit you know).
