Funny how abortion is settled law, but the 2nd Amendment is up for debate.

“...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Clearly the intent of the Framers was for the word "bear" to mean from the bedroom to the kitchen.

seems odd they want us to believe we are so much more advanced, learned, civilized in the USA then way back at the founding, yet the founders and people of that era knew what words meant while today a portion of the country cannot understand simple words and need definitions or more words added to understand their meaning.

The founders saw no need to have to spell out “at all times”, or “Outside the home” or “while traveling about the country”

“...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

From the article: “The primary issue is whether there is *any* right to bear arms outside of the home."

So, what they are trying to clarify legally is whether or not bearing arms outside the home is part of “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms”. (Seems obvious to me, but…) If it’s not part of the right, forbidding it is not an infringement of the right.

I’ve said for quite some time we need to concentrate more on the meaning, extent, scope and so forth of the words “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” and stop knee jerk responding with “shall not be infringed”.

Again, if it’s not part of the right, forbidding it is not an infringement of the right.

“Keep and bear” being the operative terms!

Keeping is in the home, and bearing is everywhere else.
