Good job. You might also want to see if this Leftist can explain why "the People" means the People in every Amendment to the Constitution except the Second Amendment.

Our founding fathers knew exactly what they were doing when they crafted the Second Amendment. They knew what life was like when the People served (and feared) the Government. They sought to establish from the start that the Government should serve (and fear) the People.

At the time the 2nd amendment was written, the average citizen could have the same weapon as the army, maybe better if they could afford it.

Lefty from Berkely, hmmmm Is that the same Berkley that has a city council that passed an ordinance that stated that No Spaced based weapons could fly over Berkley's air space?

hehehehehe

"The People" always without question where ever it appears in the Constitution means "the Individual" it does not stand for "society"

The people, this one guy here has the right of free speech, that guy over there has the right to bear arms, that woman over yonder has freedom of religion. All have all, as one.

We are not a colony of ants that when we assimilate together the rights grow and we become collectively free. We are free as individuals. Unless you are a lefty than you pick and choose which rights are for whom.

Just remember the difference between a liberal and a conservative is simple:

A conservative says "I will believe it when I see it."

A liberal says "I will see it when I believe it."

Libs don't open their eyes much.
