“The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. What more do you need? “
We need to know what that right covers.
What is inside that right and what is not?
Can the law require the return to its true owner of a stolen firearm you are keeping and bearing or can you claim your right to keep and bear arms allows you to keep and bear it and a law requiring its return is an infringement?
What about five year olds? Are they covered by the right of the people to keep and bear arms? Is a law saying a parent can forbid them to do so an infringement of their right?
I believe we must promote a better understanding of the right rather than just shouting “Shall not be infringed”. We don’t need to convince those on The Right, and we can’t convince those who support the Far Left, but there are a lot of people in the middle.
There is nothing more than what the words proclaim. It is your right to own and carry arms. If you want a Javelin missile on your truck, Constitutionally the only limit is on your ability to pay for one. There are no nuances, no alternate “interpretations.” If you need them then you are merely trying to ignore the Amendment. ALL legal restrictions on keeping and bearing arms of any sort are unConstitutional. All gun licenses and permits are unConstitutionl. If you want to take your meanings from post Constitutional legal history then you are chasing after legal elusions. Much hof the government as it exists is of questionable Constitutionality. Gun laws are absolutely unconstiutional.
The first clause sets a reason that the RKBA is needed but does not modify the meaning of the ban on infringement. Read it grammatically. Perhaps you are not old enough to have been taught grammar in school. It has not been taught for at least a generation and progressively truncated for a time before that. Language is the tool kit for reason. When you throw out grammar reasoning becomes sloppy and hard to use.
You are going way out into left field. The right to own is not modified. The rest of what you bring up is inventing phoney issues that have no bearing. A stolen gun is stolen property and is dealt with in law- Thou Shalt Not Steal and all that. It has no bearing whatever on the RIGHT to keep and bear which, to answer a caveat you will likely make, a right is not a requirement nor an exception to economics.
