siryouarebeingmocked: therevenantrising: linmanuelshousecat: A Poem: it’s one Sentence long. how the fuck did the constitution-Fuckers miss the Second and Third words?? Oh, dear. Not this weak ass argument yet again. Okay. Fine. Let’s go over this one more time. Pay attention, kiddos. “The 2nd Amendment Only Applies To People In The Military Or A Militia!” I’ll begin with a basic English lesson. Let’s take a look at the text of the 2nd Amendment, but slightly tweaked. Something like this: ‘A well balanced breakfast being necessary to the start of a healthy day, the right of the people to keep and eat food shall not be infringed.’ Now, based on this sentence, who has the right to keep and eat food? A well balanced breakfast? Or the people? If you say a well balanced breakfast, you’re a damn fool. The founding fathers specifically wanted to protect the of the people to right to keep and bear arms. We know this because that is what they wrote. They didn’t write ‘the right of the militia’ or ‘the right of the army’ or ‘the right of the government’ or any other group other than the right of the people. It’s right there in plain English. This was later backed up and reinforced by the founding fathers in The Federalist Papers. I encourage you to educate yourself and read them. But, hey don’t take my word for it. Let’s see what one of the most respected American experts on the English language has to say about it. http://www.constitution.org/2ll/schol/2amd_grammar.htm Oh, well would you look at that. He agrees that the 2nd Amendment is expressing that it is the right of the people to keep and bear arms, not the militia. If this is somehow not enough to convince you, check out DC vs Heller. In spite of the personal opinion of gun-control advocates, The 2nd Amendment guarantees an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home or in public. Opinions do not trump rights. It should also be noted that “the militia” is actually every able bodied citizen in the country and when The 2nd Amendment was written “well regulated” did not mean what it means today. At the time, “well regulated” simply meant to be in working order. To simply be functioning as intended. What it does not mean is heavily regulated by our government, which is what many gun-control advocates like to assume. TL/DR - While edgy, your bullshit is simply just that. Bullshit. Kindly quit your bullshit. “How did they miss the second and third words!” says the person actively ignoring how the right is specifically for “the people”. -- source link
