While I agree with you, my post is directed at those who are suckered in by the ‘militia’ argument. They are, almost without exception, also the gullible types who believe someone when they claim to be quoted out of context (eg Planned Parenthood).
If they want context, then the other Amendments are unambiguous context for the Second ie individual rights are supreme and they include the right to bear arms.
I appreciate your post. I liked it so much I wanted to add my insight to the value of the 2nd Amendment. Please excuse my desire to use your post as a reason to comment. I am sure you know all this, but someone will have a benefit.
The reason for the 2nd Amendment is not ambiguous. It has a very serious purpose. The Left is undergoing their ultimate assault on our right to bear arms, a God-given right. The core Marxists know what they are doing while their fellow travelers have no clue that all of their other rights are protected by the force of firearms, with the 2nd Amendment. With this disregard of the serious purpose of the Constitution, we may see our 1st Amendment taken away after they turn our guns into man-hole covers. Then, they will find themselves in a system that has been tried before and has brought great human tragedy.
I want to make it clear, that in no way do I advocate the anarchy of armed resistance of any kind when there is an intelligent way to solve our problems. When our civilization goes under the powers of Satin we will need more than our guns. Then our resistance will come through the grace of God and his answer to prayer. I have faith the Constitution is the inspired word of God and he will protect it through his willing servants.
