Keeping and Bearing Arms for the State or the Union is when the militia may not be Infringed. It is why a "bazookanier" does not need a State of federal issue bazooka class three license. Merely weapons qualification in a well regulated militia.
The RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. It doesn't say the "right of the militia" to arm it's members......
still looking for your lost clue and your lost Cause, down there in the South? The People are the Militia.
It reads, Only well regulated militia of the People may not be Infringed when Keeping and and Bearing Arms for their State or the Union. The unorganized militia may always be Infringed, when being infidel, protestant, and renegade to our supreme law of the land.
that's nonsense. the right is that of the people-individual citizens. not the militia because the militia is a post-government creation and the right is one that pre-exists government
and yet the 2nd Amendment mentions the Militia as neccessary for a free state, and then declares the right to keep & carry guns shall not be infringed, so as to provide for the Militia.
Which "The People" is Everybody, even those not with "The Militia" The right of The people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. Otherwise it would have read, The Right of The Militia to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
Wrong again, it is to provide first a Defense for The People, from ordinary Outlaws and Criminals and Predatory Animals, and from Tyranny of local leaders and Despots, and Tyranny in ascending order, something Liberals always deny.
I've never understood where you got this obtuse, bizzaro interpretation of the 2A. Why would we need a Constitutional Amendment to protect the rights of the militia? Do you think the people will disarm them? The amendment clearly states that the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The purpose for this is so that the militia can be an effective fighting force for the security of our freedom. It's in plain English. I don't see the words "only" or "when" in my 2A, or any words with similar meanings. Why were my rights to keep and bear arms infringed? I've already argued this with you and I didn't ask you in the first place.
the people are the militia. - - - Updated - - - the People are the Militia. - - - Updated - - - natural rights are secured in State Constitutions and available via Due Process. - - - Updated - - - The People are the Militia. As far as I am concerned, some Red Dragon somewhere has earned the right to "harass his Speaker of the House" for not doing enough for the Cause of our State and the Union.
Due process has to do with how people cannot be arrested without cause, or an arrest warrant, or searched or seizure without probable cause or a search warrant, due process guarantees a persons Rights will be respected beginning with reading a person their Rights under the Miranda decision.
Miranda was stupid. cops shouldn't have to remind people of their rights every time they make an arrest if you're too stupid to know your rights, that's your problem,
Generic Miranda Warning: " You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Anything you say can and may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you free of charge, before any questioning if you wish. If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?"
Meaning you do not have a problem with police officers resorting to abusive and torturous tactics in order to extract a confession from a suspect, even one who is mentally deficient, simply because it would be easier for them to do such?
There is a legal responsibility for Police to inform people of their rights, this also reminds Police Officers that they need to respect the rights of a suspect, if the suspect is not read the Miranda warning, a Judge can dismiss a case on those grounds.
Again you are wrong ! "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." Two independent clauses, 1. A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State. 2. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms is not dependent on being part of The Militia, However, The Militia is composed of all able bodied men otherwise occupied at their normal professions and able to mobilize in times of need.
a court created right--often supported by people who think the Ninth amendment properly bans laws against sodomy or gay marriage yet read the second amendment as not applying to citizens go figure
no, it isn't. it belongs to the State. natural rights are secured in State Constitutions, not our federal Constitution. - - - Updated - - - they are not, independent clauses; one clause clearly provides the rationale, intent and purpose for the other clause. the People are the militia. and, natural rights are secured in State Constitutions. - - - Updated - - - we do; the citizens are the militia.
you are wrong again. the right contained in the second amendment-as noted in CRUIKSHANK-does not depend on the constitution and pre-existed government try again
The People are the Militia. Our Second Amendment declares what is necessary to the security of a free State, not a free People.
