And yes I am being serious, it is an attempt by "cowards" to subvert the Federal Constitution, and overthrow the government....
BTW the whole "firearm" issue is not what the law says,
Title, 26, 27. 18 USC give the legal definition of what a "Firearm" is, and guess what it ain't a pistol....
So I am the engineer making high tech gizmos for the Sheriff, or the nurse caring for them in retirement, but I need to be priviledged by them to cadry a weapon.
Are these people serious? Is this the King’s land?
I would recommend that you look at the 1902 Dick Act, AKA the Efficiency of Militia Act. You will find that it has never been repealed, it defines the Milita (and yes you are correct) and if these clowns in DC try to repeal it, the military and law enforcement would have to surrender their weapons.
Concealed is something all together different.
Good article, thanks for posting.
Diagram the sentence, just like you learned in English class:
The subject is the right of the people to keep and bear arms. In this subject, "of the people" is a noun phrase that specifies the right to which the predicate applies. Similarly, "to keep and bear arms" is an infinitive phrase that again narrows the subject under discussion, leading to a final definition of the subject under discussion - the predicate applies not to all rights, only to rights of the people, and among all the rights held by people, the predicate applies only to the right to keep and bear arms. The infinitive phrase "to keep and bear arms" specifies two rights of the people: the right to keep arms, and the right to bear arms. The wording does not create each right, rather the preexistence of those rights is assumed.
The predicate is in the simple future tense, negated, and provides the strongest possible restriction on the action "to infringe" when applied to the subject. "Shall not be infringed" is stronger and broader than the First Amendment limitation of "Congress shall make no law," applying to all three branches of the federal government rather than just the legislative branch, and cannot be made stronger with any choice of words.
As for the Militia Clause: "a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state," this clause contains a subject A well regulated militia and a gerund phrase being necessary to the security of a free state. The wording does not include any hint that this militia clause is intended to act as a restrictive clause, one that could narrow the meaning of an earlier or later subject. Rather, the militia clause is a nonrestrictive relative clause, set off by commas, that is intended to add information without modifying the subject of the main clause.
The bottom line: the right of the people to keep and bear arms is assumed by the wording to be a preexisting and unconditional right. The predicate shall not be infringed applies to that right without any limitation. Thus the right of the people to keep arms shall not be infringed by any branch of the federal government, and the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed by any branch of the federal government. Neither the subject nor the predicate is modified by the militia clause. The militia clause A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state provides added information on the importance of the right under discussion but does not in any way restrict or limit that right.
/End pedantic monologue.
Your tag line says it all. If it was manufactured, if I can build one in my gunshop and can carry it physically I damn sure will.
Federal, so... US Marshalls...
Pro-2nd Amendment, constitutional sheriffs support the bearing of arms by people in all circumstances. Knuckle-dragging, 50 IQ Gestapo apes don’t.
The Florida Sheriff’s Association has apparently thrown in with the Gestapo. Time for the good citizens of Florida to get busy and throw these apes out of elected office.
Shall not be infringed by any form of government
