"the plain simpleness of the good ole fashioned English"

And the second amendment debates over "the plain simpleness of the good ole fashioned English" have been going on for how long now?

For as long as nimrods like you keep trying to obfuscate "shall not be infringed" to gain power over the citizenry. Just like your buddy X42 and his trouble with defining "is".

Obviously, since the first gun grabber decided to spit on the 2nd.

It isn't a debate when one side is intentionally dishonest, and is deliberately attempting to alter the meaning. "The right of the people" - not states, not militias - "to keep and bear arms" meaning, to retain possession of, and carry - "shall not be infringed" meaning, zero encroachments on the foregoing. Period.

The debate has been going on so long as some insist on redefining plain terms, in an attempt to make the sentence say something other than what it plainly says.
