“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”


Descriptions | Definitions

1. A militia is not a conventional army.

- A military force made up of citizens.
- The continental army was founded in 1775.


2. A militia is not only for defending against outside forces.

- Militias were used to fight troops from Great Britain during the revolutionary war. During the revolutionary war, Great Britain's government ruled the thirteen colonies.


3. Right to both keep and bear is important.

- Notice the government is not responsible for keeping arms, but it is the responsibility of the people to keep arms, so that they might maintain control of their own state.


4. What was chief threat to the "security of [the] free state" that was the young USA?

- Great Britain, its own government. Similar to how Catalonia is being oppressed today.


Conclusion

The right to keep and bear arms is not about hunting. The right to keep and bear arms is not about home defense.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms is about defending a free state from its own government.

You can't make an effective argument for the removal of something without explaining why it was there in the first place.

So you think the 2nd amendment is about home defense? Yeah I'm sure that was really an important issue to the young congress.

Maybe you should think about why a government would be incentivized to infringe on such a right.

you're doing a good job on extrapolating on nothing and holding up both sides of the argument, keep it up sport. dont listen to those other kids that tell you to post in one of the other 4 threads on this exact subject, they're just jealous.
