but in your interpretation you have no right to use a firearm for any purpose other than serving in the militiathere are states that do not require a permit for concealed carry"bear arms" means "militia duty".
So, you just said "so you can only do militia duty in the service of the militia", yes, you can only be in the militia in the militia.
Yes, I'm saying an individual does NOT have a right to carry a weapon around. Presser seemed to make that clear, and Heller confirmed this.
You can't have a license for a right. So carry and conceal permits would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL. And yet the NRA supports carry and conceal permits. Go figure. Why would they do this if there were a right to carry arms?
Think about it.
So what? What the hell does this have to do with the argument? You just decided that because I wrote "carry and conceal permit" you'd come up with a fun fact of the day which includes "carry and conceal permit"? Wow.
Did you really not get my point at all?
I understand your point I happen to disagree
if the only rights you had as far as firearms are concerned is keeping one in your home or using it in service to the militia then one could keep but never use a gun outside the home unless called upon by the militia
is that what you think the second amendment says?
You disagree, but you have no evidence to back your claim up. You're simply believing what you want to believe and ignoring ALL OF THE EVIDENCE. All of it.
You don't have a right to take a dump. But you can.
You don't need rights to be able to do something. Rights are something considered fundamental.
What the 2A does is prevent the US federal govt from stopping you being able to own weapons and being in the militia. But you can use your guns because the law says so, in many states.
Your argument isn't logical. Because then so many things you do on a daily basis are not protected by rights would also not make sense to you. But somehow they do.
But again. You have provided NO EVIDENCE for your view. Not one single source of evidence to suggest that there is some "right to carry arms".
Even when I've shown the founding fathers saw "bear arms" as "render military service" and "militia duty", even with the Supreme Court saying that carrying arms is not protected by the Second Amendment and the latest case backing Presser up within the last decade. Even with the NRA supporting carry and conceal permits, which, if they were protected by a right, then you wouldn't need a permit in the first place, but they do.
And you're just like "This isn't convenient for my view, so I'm going to ignore it all and believe something that is convenient".
So what's the point of all this discussion then if you're not even going to accept facts?
which means you have no right to use a firearm for self defense
and FYI I gave you an analysis of the Second by an acknowledged expert in the usage of the English language.
Well, yes, from the 2A.
There's a right to self defense but it's not to be found in the 2A.
Think about it. What are the first words of the 2A? Is it "self defence" or "militia"?
Yes, you gave me someone else's view, you posted a link, you didn't even bother to write anything for yourself. FYI I don't count that as anything. Make your OWN argument, if I wanted to talk to the person who wrote that article, I'd talk to them.
FYI you didn't prove anything.
