Keith, that is because the founders were smarter then you. And they understood that if you did not own a gun for what ever reason your neighbor may lend you one of his.

And you still had the right to keep and carry it.

The militia was free males between the ages of 14 and 45. But the wording shifts in the second part to "the right of the people". That is all free people. No matter age or sex. And no matter if they actually owned the weapon in question or not.

We just went through this issue with the Rittenhouse case where the concept of it being ok to lend someone a gun was talked about.

Do try to keep up.

What these clowns always fail to acknowledge is that the Bill of Rights is NOT a restriction on the People, but rather a restriction on the government.

I wasn't aware that old Kieth is a constitutional scholar.

Screw Olberfag and the horse he rode in on. This is the big news here:

#BREAKING: The Judiciary Committee just voted to repeal the ATF’s unconstitutional ban on pistol braces. Big win for the Second Amendment.

Keith Olbermann is Exhibit A for proving a college education does not necessarily make someone smart.

In a sense he’s right. It isn’t the amendment itself that protects any right...it’s the willingness to act on that right against those who try to take it away that protects the right. When the various groups threaten violence and your government wants to disarm YOU...it’s time to wonder exactly why.

Well, let’s see - - -

How about slaves

Do you ‘own’ or ‘keep’ a slave?

Now apply that to ‘keep’ a gun.

If Keith wants to take my guns, he should personally come after them.

Good thing most conservative (read: law abiding) firearms owners are responsible, otherwise some might conclude that olbersturmbahnfurhermann doesn’t own, or keep, firearms and is therefore a soft target.

“To note” means “to point out” and indicates a correction or affirmation. There’s nothing in the Constitution “to note” about it not allowing private ownership of firearms.

Indeed, I’d rather “note” that the 9th and 10th amendments affirm it as neither prohibited nor enumerated, thereby gun ownership is a right “retained by” and “reserved to” the people.

We’ve had this discussion. Time to be done with that argument.
