For the uninformed that is the Second Amendment to the Unites States Constitution. It has been in the news a lot recently due to the Supreme Court upholding it as it was written and again today because the dumbass head of the FBI says they got it wrong. Did they? Fuck no they didn’t. Read it carefully and it is very clear.
For those of you who have trouble with reading comprehension let me ‘splain it to you. It says that as long as it is necessary to have a military (a well regulated Militia) to keep the peace and security of our great country, the people will be allowed to keep guns (the right of the people to keep and bear Arms), no matter what (shall not be infringed). It means that as long as the government convenes an army the people can have guns to prevent a military takeover of the country. Could the amendment have been spelled out a little better? Possibly, but who knew lawyers and assholes were going to take over the court systems and that morons would rule the day.
I have heard people say that it means that you must be in a militia to have guns. How does anyone get that out of the above verbiage? Blind stupidity is the only thing I can see would glean that interpretation from it. Keep in mind when the amendment was written and why the founding fathers created such an amendment. Military takeovers of countries have happened through the ages. If they are wrong, how does a populace defend itself? If the government (and believe me this isn’t that far fetched these days) decided to take all of our money in taxes, stifle our freedoms and punish the citizens for no good reason how would an unarmed populace fight back? The founding fathers knew this and provided for the citizens a check and balance system to ensure the continuing existence of the country.
It amazes me to hear otherwise intelligent people read the amendment and get “you have to be in the army to have a gun”. Look at military regimes around the world and the outcry of the rest of the world over these regimes. An armed populace may well have prevented such a takeover, yet somehow, for the
Well you people who still don’t understand what the amendment guarantees keep reading it and hopefully it will sink in. And I repeat, it does not say that the only way you are guaranteed the right to keep a gun is to be in the army.
