the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The whole problem is the dang comma's...
Regardless, all the other bill of rights are about individual rights and so is this one.
“The whole problem is the dang comma’s”
No, not really. “The right of the people to keep and bear arms” is an unbroken block, and cannot mean anything other than that the group referred everwhere else in the Constitution as “the people” have the right to keep and bear arms. I don’t care if the rest of the amendment talks about how icky guns are and how weird are people who own them. So long as it says the people have the right to keep and bear arms, it means the people have the right to keep and bear arms. No amount of legerdemain can overcome it.
Diagrams brought back the horror of 8th grade English.
It’s only a problem in today’s sentence structure. Not in the Founding Fathers time. Simple education easily fixes that.
>The whole problem is the dang comma’s...
The ratified 2nd Amendment has only one comma, right after ‘state.’
