Lets see. If it said:
“a free and truthful press, being required for a functioning state, the peoples right to speak and publish freely shall not be infringed”.
Even old lib dinosaurs like Laurence Tribe and Alan Dershowitz understand it is an individual right.
It's really not too complicated. A militia is a citizen military force (the Lexington Minuteman) in contrast to a standing professional army (King George's lobster-backs). Well regulated means it is not to be an aimless mob much like the soon to happen French Revolution. The only way this can be guaranteed is by having the power distributed among the people with state of the art assault rifles. Imagine the American militia fighting the British professionals with greatly inferior arms. There would be no America. This means no infringement.
You really can't trust anybody else. You can't trust Bush's New World Order anymore than you can the Kennedy's Camelot.
Exactly so, well put. I’d seen it put that way before, and loved it, so I’m also grateful I didn’t have to try to paraphrase it from memory.
Or, watch them squirm with this one:
“Because a pregnancy may have been caused by rape or incest, a woman’s right to an abortion shall not be infringed.”
yeah but these people don’t really believe that guns are the same as books.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
