QuoteQuoteSo what does "a well regulated militia" mean?
NOT what the gun-o-phobes wanted it to mean
Interesting article "http://yarchive.net/gun/politics/regulate.html"]here.
From the article:
Note that well-regulated" clearly refers to how well the militia functions and how well trained are the militia members. It does not refer at all to the degree to which the government controls the militia or the members of the militia.
and:
Therefore I conclude that the meaning of the 2nd Amendment is, "A properly functioning Militia is necessary to the security of a free State; therefore the (pre-existing) right of the people to keep and bear
Arms shall not be infringed."
The link does not work
But for the quotes
Agreed
The right of the people shall not be infringed

Thanks
It works
and after a quick scan it backs my earlier post where I posted to the context of the time and the meanings and intent
But progressives wish, need, want and hope that they can get the Constitution to be views as a living evolving document
It is not viewed that way, their agenda is harder to push
Thanks for the link

Thats even better. "regulate" and "regulated" now have the same veracity as "is".
God damd are lawyers good at blurring the meaning of the left and right when people face each other at opposing sides of a line.

Constitution to be views as a living evolving document
Yes it is,thats why we have amendments. Article I Section 2 was pretty clear that natives didn't count and slaves were 3/5th. 14 amendments later and GASP...... it evolved.

Explain the meaning of article 1 sec 2 ,and why the 14th amendment was not 'activist'.
