I Believe Barack Obama Is Dangerous For This Country
seems that gun nuts won't read the independent clause of the 2nd Amendment. They read the dependent clause "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" as if there were no qualifications listed for those "people" who may keep and bear arms, to wit, the militia.
now, certain Right Wing Web Sites have posted definitions of "Militia" to compass all persons, but the Constitution has a very different take on who is, and who is not, militia.
Case in point. The first Article of the Constitution, detailing the powers and duties of Congress, includes the following in section 8. and here I quote " To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repeal Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress; "
Put simply, the Militia is those persons who are organized, disciplined (ruled over) and governed by officers appointed by the state and who are subject to the laws and rules of war as prescribed by Congress.
In short, the National Guard, and no one else.
As the 2nd Amendment declares that the purpose of the right to keep and bear arms is to maintain a state militia, it follows that the state decides who is to be inducted, who is to be trained and who is to be without the right to keep and bear arms.
Follow the Constitution and weapons of war like the M-3 and the Bushmaster will never again be legally and inexpensively available to non-members of the Lawful State Militia, and they will have to WORK to massacre children.
