Just curious, but are you going someplace other than Only-the-National-guard-and-the-police-should-be-trusted-with-guns? Are those the “people” you have in mind?
What I have in mind wasn't the issue. What I wanted to know was what YOU had in mind.
It's not a trick question. The second amendment says "the people" have a RKBA. I'm asking you for, what, the third time, who those people are. Are they everyone? Only adults? All citizens? All male citizens? All persons?
And where did you get your definition of "the people"? Certainly you have an opinion on this. After all, it is the heart of the discussion in which you chose to participate.
Why in the world is this so much like pulling teeth? No one wants to answer this very basic question. Yet they'll line up in droves to pick apart, critize, and mock my definition.
New rule. I will no longer respond to any poster on this thread who has not offered his own definition of "the people" in the second amendment. 290 posts is enough of this bull$hit. Put up or STFU.
