Shall not be infringed. Period. Paragraph. Turn the page. Amen.

Anyone that says different can pound sand.

Has been infringed for decades, at least since the National Firearms Act. Freedom’s flame is flickering.

Although, I do approve to armament safety classes in our schools...

“Shall not be infringed. Period. Paragraph. Turn the page. Amen.”

What is it that “Shall not be infringed”?

If the “it” that “Shall not be infringed” is “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms”, what exactly is that right? What are the parameters, the limits, the definition of that right?

If you say that there are no limits to this right, you will find opposition on this forum from those who say that one person’s right to bear arms is limited by another person’s real property rights (which I also have not seen a good definition of).

Just as the Second Amendment notes “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms”, the Fifteenth Amendment notes “The right of citizens of the United States to vote...” but it is generally agreed that there are limits on the right to vote.

If something is not covered by “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms” it will not be considered an infringement to outlaw that something.

If we don’t discuss “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms” with a view toward developing a strong position on what’s included, it will be done for us and we won’t like the outcome.
