The intent and purpose is in the first clause not the second clause.The words of founding fathers isn't "false cause", whatever that means. I agree the second amendment is the supreme law of the land. We just disagree on what it means. I believe it means exactly what our founding fathers said it means. You don't.it is your fallacy of false cause that I find humorous.You're ignoring the words of Washington, Jefferson, George Mason and Patrick Henry, Great American Patriots. Why are their words humorous to you?it is your fallacy of false cause that I find humorous.
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.
Only well regulated militia are claimed necessary and the unorganized militia must yield to well regulated militia when keeping and bearing Arms for their State or the Union.
Our Second Amendment is our supreme law of the land.
Only on a planet where English is a fifth language. On this planet it is the second clause that matters. That's how the English language works.
The second clause is indeed where the action is, agreed.
That still leaves the question open --- what then is the purpose of the first clause? Why does it exist?
