The second amendment is very clear about who the militia is...it's you and I, and as such we are allowed to own and keep guns.
No. im sorry, its not.
It says a militia. I've given definition of a militia. Militia's still exist in today's society, do i really need to provide google results to
prove this to you? An individual is not a militia.

At the time the Constitution was written, the whole damned nation was a militia. Have you ever heard of the Revolutionary War?
The recipients of the 2nd Amendment are CLEARLY outlined in the 3rd Amendment. Funny how the anti-rights libs always forget that. The 3rd Amendment
specifically states that in times of peace, the people have the right to deny quartering to soldiers and members of the government. The point of the
guns, as outlined by the 3rd Amendment, is to keep the GOVERNMENT out of the homes of the PEOPLE.
You're wrong. That is why the
Originalists voted FOR individual rights as envisioned by the Founding Fathers and the
Activists in
typical fashion voted AGAINST individual rights as usual.
I don't understand how libs today are AGAINST individual rights. Don't they realize that once we lose our individual rights, we don't get them
back? Only a suicidal crackpot would be AGAINST the rights of people. That is the problem with the citizens in this country - they think this is a
Democracy. America is NOT and NEVER HAS BEEN a Democracy. We are a REPUBLIC. The word Democracy isn't even mentioned in the Articles of the
Constitution. The Founding Fathers were adamantly against a Democracy, or a mobocracy, as they called it, because it incites mob rule and corruption.
When the majority realizes they can vote in their own benefits package at the expense of the minority, the system breaks down. The Republic lasts
forever. AND TO THE
REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS!
Andrew, I'd be impressed if you knew what a Republic was off the top of your head. I can all but guarantee you'll have to Google that definition to
reply to me.
