Our forefathers did NOT say we had a right to bear arms. They said that ONLY a “well regulated militia” had the right to bear arms.
We need to sue the several States and include as a Defendant every gun owning citizen of the United States. Our Petition would claim that our personal security and right to peace is being violated by the unconstitutional acts of people who bear arms unregulated outside of a militia (which is military and law enforcement), according to the 2nd Amendment.
If we can get the case in front of the Supreme Court, the judges could then make the decision on the constitutionality of the right for an unregulated citizen to bear arms. It’s not a constitutional right!
Or we can demand a national referendum that gives the people the right to choose (vote) whether or not an unregulated citizen can legally bear arms.
We strongly believe, that in such referendum, or if the Supreme Court was forced to rule on grounds of constitutionality, we would make some serious steps towards safety and peace.
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), is a landmark case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held, in a 5–4 decision, that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home, and that Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban and requirement that lawfully-owned rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock" violated this guarantee.

the people are not separate from the militia, in the original context, with the free states disciplining and training ("well regulated", right?) citizens unless a citizen's religious disposition prompts him to not own a weapon (this was noted in the original proposed amendment. courts have upheld the "every man a militia" argument, but we are seeing that this unfettered access to high powered arms is backfiring.

Ridde me this, Amerifats:
If the government starts banning certain guns, like the AR-15, how exactly by doing so are they violating your CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS? You don't have a constitutional right to bear ANY arm. Just the constitutional right to bear arms. Therefore, nobody is infringing on your right to bear arms. Because it is not your *right* to bear arms that is being infringed, if the government makes it harder to get certain guns.
tl;dr: you do NOT have the constitional right to bear a particular arm, or any arm, as both these terms are missing in the amendment, therefore just the right to bear arms in general, and therefore the only way one could infringe on that right in general is if the age was raised, ID checks introduced etc. but not via legislature targeting certain gun types, rather than the rights of people in general.
Gavin Roberts
Militia= a military force raised from the civil population to supplement a regular army in an emergency. A militia is the exact opposite of a military, it is an irregular force formed by normal people who are able to use guns, the specific difference between them and a paramilitary is that the paramilitary(as the name already says) is a unofficial, but well-organized and trained force, similiar to the military.
Obviously, the military won't appear, when you are getting shot at by a criminal, who ignores any legal rights and got weapons from the black market, which he can always do, in this case the next best citizen with a firearm is the representative of the state, as a militiaman by definition, he is obligated to neutralize the criminal.
And, even if you do not agree to this, despite reason and definition working completely against you, the second amendmend said that the right of the people shall not be infringed, I can't imagine that "a well-regulated militia" can be infringed as such.
A "well-regulated" militia would most likely be one with members who posess reasonable moral views and a stable psychological constitution, which is (obviously) any US-citizen that did not commit any major crime or was considered mentally ill by a doctor, which is about anyone in the US(including gun-owners).
Otherwise it's mostly already regulated, you are prohibited from owning full-automatic weapons, guns have to be registered etc.
If you read my post,congrats, I needn't tell you anymore, that the only free people are armed.
Luis Taylor
learn to read cunt, "the right of the people, to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." reading comprehension and punctuation matters

The constitution doesn't grant rights. It simply lists them.
It's a simple maxim of natural law that nobody has the right to tell you what you can or cannot do, unless you are doing harm to another, have done harm to another, and / or are likely to do harm to another.
The right to defend oneself against violations of one's natural rights by any means necessary is in itself a right, and the right to bear arms is an extension of that right. The constitution simply lists this secondary right, extended from the former, because of the specific type of threats that the founding fathers experienced and foresaw would be around for generations to come.
TLDR: the constitution doesn't mean shit. it has no substance on its own. what gives it substance is the natural laws and principles it's based on which are immutable and inherent in all men and women from birth 'till death.

> Constitution is old and doesn't matter Let them put their money where their mouths are. Have them voluntarily surrender their Constitutional rights to prove that they're serious. No free speech, no freedom of religion, no freedom from the establishment of religion, no protection against searches and seizures, we can keep troops in their homes, they don't get juries or the right to confront their witnesses, no freedom from racial or sex discrimination, and they can't vote. Then we'll have a referendum on guns.

All men are in a militia. If we go by "Only militias can have guns" then you need to disarm only women.
Fun fact: Every year there;s 200,000+ cases of women defending themselves from sexual assault with a firearm. These women would be disarmed.
Grayson Roberts
(You) are correct from a literal standpoint, but from a practical one you should also consider this: An AR-15 is certainly not the deadliest of rifles nor the easiest to purchase, yet the tactical image it gives off is something that the public has come to fear by association perhaps because of the media. We indeed have strict laws against automatic firearms and fees and annual checks for specific firearms which can be asily modified to be automatic. As we already have these things in place after decades of legislation pushing into more and more forms of arms, we should consider that by using the hype around the AR-15, other similar Semi-Automatic Rifles will most likely be heavily regulated as well. Granted, the second amendment also says nothing about a right to trade firearms without hinderence. So, we already have systems of background checks in place to ensure that our lawful right to bear arms is not tarnished by criminals, but is this that failed us because the shooter was, in fact, not sane and had a criminal record before he turned 18. When he turned 18 he was still not sane, but now had practically no criminal record. What we should do, is not blame the weapon, there are plenty like it and by focusing on these, we open ourselves to heavier legislation on SEMI-Automatic rifles. Meanwhile we should have stronger background checks, not merely more questions, rather they should include all history regardless of state, their should be heavier punishment for lying on background checks, but most importantly, more people should lawfully own guns and become well versed in them. Ensuring that our right to bear arms is well regulated (in the classic sense).

The second amendment can be better understood by rephrasing it. “A well-schooled electorate, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and read Books, shall not be infringed.” -now, does this statement say that ONLY a “well-schooled electorate” (college educated) people have the right to read books? No! It means that everyone has the right to read books.
