Everyone skips the "well regulated militia" part of that. Setting aside the fact that the 2nd amendment itself is a relic from an older time, the gun-fellaters of the modern day have clearly perverted the amendment into something it was never meant to be in the first place. Times change, old values die. |
no, people just know how to read english. the well regulated militia is inconsequential to the operative clause of the amendment.
if the 1st amendment read something like this: Being able to gather and protest being necessary to a free state, the right of the people to have free speech, freedom of religion, and the freedom of press shall not be infringed. would that make it so that you only can have free speech if you gather in a group together. no. its just one of the reason to have free speech.
as you can see, the 2A, clearly states that the people are the ones that are allowed to kepp and bear arms. nevermind the fact that militia was any able body person able to fight, so pretty much everybody anyway.
