But it says "The Right of the People" "Shall not be infringed".
In Texas we like our guns, and will keep them......

People are still trying to re-define the 2A and bury the notion that it is really for the defense against a corrupt government, such as we currently have.

- to move while holding up and supporting (something)
- to be equipped or furnished with (something)
Where does it say that any right enumerated in the Bill of Rights apply ONLY withing one’s home?
I really don't care how "you all" rule anymore, you will still have to kill me to take my guns so let's get on with it already..........I'm ready. Are "you all"?
The Robert’s Court pays little attention as to the real meaning of what the Constitution says....they keep shaping it to what they want...anyone can do that. Few can stay within the confines of our Constitution or the Ten Commandments...both are C-O-N-S-T-A-N-T! Like this President, Justice Roberts lies when it is to his advantage to do so.

It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished;
and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs,
and to KEEP AND CARRY ARMS wherever they went.
In Pa. we believe the same. “Come and Take Them”
The supreme court and everybody else can deliberate and discuss, ad nauseum, the meaning of “bear” in the context of the 2nd Amendment but it will not change what all clear-thinking, Constitution-loving citizens know to be true.
