Alas, you can't talk to those who wish to be deaf.

"Alas, you can't talk to those who wish to be deaf."

Then talk to me.

Tell me why the Founding Fathers inserted the first part of the second amendment: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state ...". I am interested in your opinion.

According to you, all the second amendment needed to say was, "The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." But the Founding Fathers didn't write it that way, and they were very careful men. For some reason, they added the first part. Why?
