So I've covered that the 2nd Amendment was originally to cover white people having guns in order to quell any slave uprisings. Present day American people seem to think it gives them the right to have whatever and how many guns they want, it's a right like clean water and education is a right.
This is a people, many of whom fought against getting affordable health care as a right because being healthy and not in debt is a dirty socialist thing .... huh? I never understood how anyone could be against having healthcare, maybe because I didn't have it for 10 years.
The second Amendment states, '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.'
That is saying you have the right, obviously it only meant white people back then, it would be worded differently if they thought the slaves would end up as free. It also says 'well regulated.' Regulated means control or supervise by means of rules and regulations. Militia means a force to supplement a regular army in an emergency or a military force that engages in rebel or terrorist activities.
Influenced by the English bill of rights of 1689 the British have since changed that law several times and included that weapons would be on condition of the law and the police which means no .... unless yer a farmer or land owner. I think it's well over time for the wording of the 2nd Amendment to get changed. An amendment being a formal or official change made to a law. The NRA would never let such a thing to happen which more or less amounts to them being very un-American that they can block democracy with their influence.
Don't worry, this suspicious looking dude will protect you. How can you tell the crazy criminals from people who look like crazy criminals?
People pick and chose what they want to believe and take whatever meaning they want, like religion. I really don't think it meant a teletubby on a power scooter armed to the teeth guarding a military recruiting center, whether they want it or not.
Believe or not there is a difference to those who have served and those currently serving, they'll respect and tolerate you to a point but yer now a civvie.
When I was serving we didn't let any civvies guard us, our nuts would shrink up in shame if we had. The US military have asked civvies not to guard them, especially after one brave fellow shot the car park in Ohio by accident.
If you want to help defeat terrorism then join the fucking military, otherwise get the fuck out of the way Tinky Winky.
