Is that your way of turning me down gently???Don’t have to re-write it; “well regulated militia” are already in the amendment.
So help us to understand something here Cornhole. If the Constitution requires a person to be a member of a militia before they can own a firearm, how is it that I've managed to purchase dozens of firearms over my life time despite never having been in a militia? And not on the black market. Every single firearm I have purchased was a brand new firearm from dealer. How do you explain that?
How do you explain that all 50 states have some form of conceal carry? If the people aren't allowed to have firearms, what would there be to carry concealed?
Lets be honest - this is just you being desperate for attention. You have no husband. No boyfriend. You're nearly 50 and you just want to antagonize someone for attention like a 1st grader. We all know that you know that guns are 100% legal and Constitutional for any U.S. citizen.She's just doing it for attention. In another thread she started crying and basically asking why I was so "mean" because I was obliterating her with facts. More than anything she likes to antagonize people so that she will have someone to talk to. She doesn't realize if she's stop acting like an idiot that she wouldn't need to resort to stuff like that for someone to talk to her.Don’t have to re-write it; “well regulated militia” are already in the amendment.
"No scholar or court has argued seriously that the Second Amendment guarantees a “right” to join or bear arms in the National Guard or a state militia – such organizations make their own recruitment and employment decisions. This argument, contrived in the 20th century to emasculate the Second Amendment, has never been taken seriously on the merits."
"Attorney General Ashcroft states that “the text and the original intent of the Second Amendment clearly protect the right of individuals to keep and bear firearms.”
"Ashcroft quotes George Mason at the Virginia ratification convention in 1788: “I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people [...] To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.”
The Ashcroft letter continues: “As recently as 1986, the United States Congress and President Ronald Reagan explicitly adopted this view in the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act.” The act states, “The Congress finds that the rights of citizens to keep and bear arms under the second amendment to the United States Constitution [...] require additional legislation to correct existing firearms statutes and enforcement policies.” This finding was amply supported by The Right to Keep and Bear Arms, a 1982 report of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution. It found:
The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner.

Ouch. This is a comprehensive beat down on your nonsensical and completely made up view of the U.S. Constitution.
You could post this a million times, and they will STILL use their same old lame arguments. Lol.
Well, this place is FOR debate, not for finding boyfriends, so she is not out of line even if she is wrong.![]()
