The people,No, because educated people understood that "people" meant THE PEOPLE, not the government. The government has armies. Thus it is absolutely ridiculous to assume that a Right for the government to have guns, buried within a group of INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS.
Only a progressive could come up with such an asinine claim.
The constitution never said it though. Just like with a right to privacy.Your perspective is flawed. The individual right was practiced daily, there was no need to presume otherwise.
The law of the land never once questioned the individual right to keep and bear arms. Citizens have been hunting that whole time, how would you reconcile that? Individuals could and did purchase firearms that whole time. You are simply mistaken.
Youre delusional if you think the founding fathers would have supported abortion.A right to bodily autonomy would seem too obvious to be required in writing as well.
Then why didnt they clarify this on day 2 after the Constitution was written? Everyone was still walking around with guns and no one said a god damn word? They made no attempts to clarify this incredible miscommunication?The people,
All able White men from 17 to 45 were under a State govt draft, and required under the law to buy and own a gun, and know how to use it, for when and if the State govt called you up and drafted you in to their Militia.
Able men were required to have a gun, for the collective self defense of the State, when and if a Militia was needed, and they were drafted by the State.
Originalism.
The 2nd amendment was never about an individual's right to own a gun for his own self defense, it was about the Militia, and able men being prepared to serve with their own arms, when drafted.
We didn't have a standing army, it was unconstitutional. When necessary, for our defense, State Militias were called upon.
Do you even know what SCOTUSs purpose is?The two cases are a clear indication of the blatant hypocrisy of the right and the inconsistent application of the law and advocacy of “states’ rights’ by conservatives.
The Constitution isn’t a cafeteria plan – one cannot support the rights he approves of and reject the rights he does not like.
If the states have the right to ‘ban’ abortion, then they likewise have the right to regulate firearms as they see fit.
Conservatives can’t have it both ways.
They left the remedy…why hasn’t the baby killing left pursued an amendment?Then why didnt they clarify this on day 2 after the Constitution was written? Everyone was still walking around with guns and no one said a god damn word? They made no attempts to clarify this incredible miscommunication?
Why clarify the obvious?Then why didnt they clarify this on day 2 after the Constitution was written? Everyone was still walking around with guns and no one said a god damn word? They made no attempts to clarify this incredible miscommunication?
Youre delusional if you think the founding fathers would have supported abortion.
EXACTLY! The 2nd amendment was obvious so they required no clarification when people were still carrying guns. Its exactly what they expected.Why clarify the obvious?
Not a word of that refutes my statement.Abortion was frequently practiced in North America during the period from 1600 to 1900. Many tribal societies knew how to induce abortions. They used a variety of methods including the use of black root and cedar root as abortifacient agents. During the colonial period, the legality of abortion varied from colony to colony and reflected the attitude of the European country which controlled the specific colony. In the British colonies abortions were legal if they were performed prior to quickening. In the French colonies abortions were frequently performed despite the fact that they were considered to be illegal. In the Spanish and Portuguese colonies abortion was illegal. From 1776 until the mid-1800s abortion was viewed as socially unacceptable; however, abortions were not illegal in most states. During the 1860s a number of states passed anti-abortion laws. Most of these laws were ambiguous and difficult to enforce. After 1860 stronger anti-abortion laws were passed and these laws were more vigorously enforced. As a result, many women began to utilize illegal underground abortion services. Although abortion was legalized in 1970, many women are still forced to obtain illegal abortion or to perform self-abortions due to the economic constraints imposed by the Hyde Amendment and the unavailability of services in many areas. Throughout the colonial period and during the early years of the republic, the abortion situation for slave women was different than for other women. Slaves were subject to the rules of their owners, and the owners refused to allow their slaves to terminate pregnancies. The owners wanted their slaves to produce as many children as possible since these children belonged to the slave owners. This situation persisted until the end of the slavery era.

A well regulated militia.EXACTLY! The 2nd amendment was obvious so they required no clarification when people were still carrying guns. Its exactly what they expected.
Not a word of that refutes my statement.
And it will again. But it has never taken away a right before.SCOTUS has reversed itself over 300 times. Or were you unaware of that?
Why should they have, everyone knew what the 2nd Amendment meant at the time, no clarity needed.Then why didnt they clarify this on day 2 after the Constitution was written? Everyone was still walking around with guns and no one said a god damn word? They made no attempts to clarify this incredible miscommunication?
They were mostly Libertarians.Youre delusional if you think the founding fathers would have supported abortion.
It’s not difficult to understand: conservatives are hypocrites – they’re inconsistent and dishonest in their ‘advocacy’ of “states’ rights.”It doesn't have to say either individual or self defense because the terms "the right of the people to keep & bear arms" covers that whole topic.
The people are made up of individuals & keeping/bearing arms isn't restricted to self defense
True.But they'll try
Again..."self defense" is nowhere mentioned in the 2A
