Who cares what anyone thinks about individual or group right. That is not important. The amendment, at least the action part of the sentence,”the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
The only way you can read that statement is that NO LAWMAKER can infringe on the “right of the people.
WHAT PART OF “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” DON’T THEY UNDERSTAND?
“How is it that no one seems to understand that the “Bill of Rights” including, the Second Ammendment, was put in place for one purpose, to restrict the Government. “
Because anti’s are a group of people who believe in enabling and expanding the government. It’s like pushing a rope .....
“WHAT PART OF “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” DON’T THEY UNDERSTAND?”
The SHALL and INFRINGED parts.
"But what if there is a fire in a crowded theater?"
As you and I both know, the language was rather specific and easy to understand.
The government is not allowed to infringe upon this basic human right in any way.
