"Adoption of this amendment would:

1 — Restore the right to keep and bear arms to ex-felons.

2 — Allow felons and other criminals to carry weapons, for their own protection, within [federal] prisons.

3 — Give actual consequences to governmental-agents who would deprive a freeman [or even otherwise] of the right to keep and bear arms."

Man! I need you to explain #2 to me. Did you mean, "NOT allow"???

Nope, it WOULD allow them to carry weapons in prisons (re-read how it is written).
Now, you might be uncomfortable about the prospect, but if you’ve either been a [US] prison guard or known one then you’ll know that prisons actually have a LOT of weapons therein. The prisoners themselves are crafty about making shivs, in particular — some of the methods are quite unsanitary and that is the point in some of them: to introduce not only a wound but encourage infection.

Keep in mind that these are our current prisons I’m talking about. The “no weapons” policy is therefore more of a myth and illusion-of-safety. If we remove the federal government’s ability to prohibit people from carrying weapons wholly and completely then this illusion is destroyed. {Furthermore, it would mean that any secure/”no weapons” prisoner-facility MUST be under a State’s control.}
