There is NOTHING "ambiguous" about "...the right of the people (AS IN WE THE PEOPLE) to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Will is an idiot. I can't find abortion mentioned in the Constitution but the right to keep and bear arms is in there. No question about it. Come on Georgie! This isn't rocket science.

Everywhere else in the Constitution, “the people” refers unambiguously to all the people. Hence, the language of the Second Amendment, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” means that all of the people have a right to bear arms.

Would it help if there was a comma between the militia clause and the right to bear arms clause, George. Oh, and would it help if you realized what constituted a “militia” at the time of the Constitution’s adoption. ‘Cause I’ll tell you, “well regulated” or not, they weren’t talking about the National Guard.

I weep for conservatism’s future.
