The 2nd:
“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.”

The 14th:
“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;...”

Can’t get much clearer than that once the “Militia” history is understood. In fact one can argue the 2nd amendment is sufficient - it’s hard to argue with “shall not be infringed”. Seems to me here in CA that telling me I can’t carry openly or concealed is infringing on my right to “bear arms”.

Yes, the “reasonable” infringements argument is made up of nothing. It is utter nonsense.

They pretend we cannot read for ourselves. Sadly most don’t.

I’ve been reminding family and friends to read the Declaration and the Constitution, especially the Amendments this holiday. We’re doing it in our home.

Imagine if for the last several decades at least once a year every American read those two documents. We’d not be where we are today.
