A well regulated militia implies a standard.

But then there's that last part that always gets me... "the right of THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Not the militia. The people.

Right, but on the Federal form you fill out to buy a firearm it asks if you have ever used illegal drugs and at this time marijauna is still federally illegal. If I were a pot smoker(which I am no)I just keep getting it illegally and not let anyone know. The minute you get a marijuana card in any state how can you legally buy a firearm?

It's the law that's illegal.

Mentally unstable people can’t have firearms

Oh but they can. Numerous recent mass shootings have proven that.

I won’t argue that, but at this point it is the law. I suspect over time it will change, but not anytime soon

A well regulated militia implies a standard.

I believe and interpret it as it only pertaining to the Militia as a whole since it follows with “which is necessary for the security of a free State,” which is followed with “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” The phrase to keep is separate meaning and adds to the phrase bear arms.

No matter what. It's a constitutional right to use your guns how you see fit regardless of the intent or motivation. Mental illness is not in the Constitution either so that should never be a limiting factor.

I don’t think imbeciles were in the militia.

So an idiot is eligible to be in the militia.

Saw the Minnesota politicians arguing over that... Minnesota politics & social issues are downright disturbing.

Bring back Jesse Ventura--he'd handle it.

Two things I learned from this thread. My uncle is a lunatic and my union brothers are knowledgeable in firearms. I made this thread to see if a relative was BS’ing me again and ended up learning something. Thanks guys.

It sounds like your uncle lives next to Walter White.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms. That is the problem right there. What are “arms”?

Not if he has bone spurs.

Anything that goes pew pew, bang bang, or swoosh swoosh, including anything the government insists they have themselves.

The definition of ’arms’ is “weapons (of war).” That means we have a constitutional right to keep and bear anything from a musket to a Tomahawk cruise missile. Only the government has put limitations to it, so a firearm is the most powerful weapon the average law abiding US citizen can own.

 

[sailfish]

Baffles me that people who would take issue with citizens owning the latter are seemingly unbothered by an organization with the worst human rights track record in history having virtually unlimited access to them.

Any law diminishing or ie weakening the right to bear and have access to arms is infringing.








Etymologically helping.

And yet still possibly constitutional.

It's the law that's illegal.

You’d think the Supreme Court would eliminate it.
