I like it!!!

LOL gammies, northton what's your point?
Are we for the right to bear arms? I am..

It means,"We The People", should be vigilantes?

Well, as far as I know anyone can carry a weapon if it is in plain view.
If it is not in plain view, it is then a concealed weapon, which requires a permit.

A concealed weapon is legal if it is not loaded.

I am sure signal will correct me if I am wrong!

First it means Washington DC's gun ban is Un Constitutional. At the time the Constitution was written America had no permanetly standing army. States were allowed militias to defend their borders from foreign intervention. It means that I have the right to own one or as many weapons as I want, to defend my property and life.

It says, a well regulated miitia. Does this mean only militia members who are part of a regulated or specially trained group?

It is not a matter of reading it wrong, but rather misunderstanding the context.

When Paul Revere made his famous ride, calling out to everyone that the "Redcoats are coming", who was he calling to?
Was he calling the US Army? Navy? Marines?

He was calling to the citizenry, the well regulated militia. The armed population.
Everyone with a weapon answered that call!
Why is that so hard to decipher?

Taken from REXESMOM: Now let's try the same situation with a bunch of armed citizens. This time the place does not get robbed and the thugs are unable to get away.

????????????????????????????????????????????
Vigilante
–noun
1. a member of a vigilance committee.

2. any person who takes the law into his or her own hands, as by avenging a crime.
–adjective
3. done violently and summarily, without recourse to lawful procedures: vigilante justice.

Someone robbing a restaurant full of people? Now you think all the law abiding citizens, carrying guns, aren't going to shoot this nut? Dream on.

The National Guard most likely has it origins in the well regulated militia. A strictly volunteer body only assembling after a call would be too little, too late, and too unreliable. The guard with monthly meetings and 2 weeks refresher during the summer allows for a quick reaction force at home in the event of a man-made or natural disaster. As far as the word infringe used in the right to bear arms, you coulkd possibly listen to arguements all day. Bear in mind that there are those that would argue with a stop sign and it's intent. A 3-5 day wait on the purchase of a weapon, I don't consider infringement. The fact that you just can't rush out and buy a weapon has no doubt saved the lives of many who would otherwise been lost to an angry or emotionally unstable individual. The gun free zones, I consider to be an infringement ( with the exception of air travel ), as criminals are not know to either respect or abide by written law. Anything that disarms the lawfully abiding citizen is infringement and depending on location, and even in this country, little better than a death warrant ! There doesn't need to be gun control laws to the extent that there are. There only needs to be ONE law in reguards to using a weapon in the commission of a felony, FIRST OFFENSE, IF FOUND GUILTY, YOU WILL BE GIVEN A SUMMARY EXECUTION ! I bet crime would drop drastically within weeks of inforcing such legislation. Isn't a safer, for the law abiding, America a sound goal ?

But wait. We are getting ahead of ourselves here.

Or at least ahead of norty. That is a future installment!

What about bans on the types of weapons we can have. Isn't it infringement of our rights to say we can only carry x number or rounds?

In New York hand guns are illegal, right? doesn't that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms?

I have always believed that regular citizens have the right to bear arms. I am all for having an armed public that not only fights crime, and fights against outside invasion, but fights tyranny from within as well.

I feel citizens should have a rebellious nature. We should question every act of the government and refuse to be tolerant of laws that are unfair and of leaders that take away our rights or abuse their power.

I have seen quotes from the very beginning of our republic suggesting that many of the founding fathers support this view of the right to bear arms. I have seen quotes from early court cases that agree with this interpretation of the second amendment of the Bill of Rights.


One thing is for sure. The government started abusing it's power from day one. The founding fathers were able and persuasive men, but they were no angels. They knew there was a lot to be gained financially by getting England out of the picture.

The US is most heavily armed country in the world. Anyone stupid enough to try to invade us, would be very sorry. We would not be sitting ducks.

The government trying to take away our right to keep and bear arms, could conceivably start a revolution.

The people will not stand for it.

lol Alright!
