“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.”
“A Box of Jelly Donuts, being necessary to feed Elvis, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
It means exactly the same thing reguardless of the reason the founders gave for putting it in.
Good one!
“A Box of Jelly Donuts, being necessary to feed Elvis, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Is better contextually,
“A Box of Jelly Donuts, being necessary to feed Elvis, the right of Elvis to get fat, shall not be infringed.”
In my not paying attention during English class opinion.
***“A Box of Jelly Donuts, being necessary to feed Elvis***
I like the way Charlie Reese said it years ago..
“A well educated elite, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to become educated shall not be infringed.”
Does this mean that ONLY the elite can be educated?
I've always liked this example.
The right to own and read books, being necessary for the maintenance of a well-educated electorate, the right of the people to own and read books, shall not be infringed.
Read that to a gun-grabber and ask if they think that would mean that only registered voters had the right to own books. They'll tell you that it's not the same thing, but you'll have made them struggle to think.
