I think I stumbled upon the answer to the whole gun thing....and it won't change one word of the second amendment. And I'll bet gun ownership will go down. All we need to do is shift our focus a little...Here is the amendment in it's entirety ... with emphasis on the the problem today
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
And it occured to me that all we need to do is shift our focus to this:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
So you've got the right to own your guns. BUT...if you do, you immediately become a part of a "well regulated militia", meaning that you will be called up to defend the security of a free state in whatever godless hellhole they decide to send you to. Regardless of age. YOU are the protectors of the free state...so you own a gun, then you just enlisted.
I wonder how quickly guys like the Nuge will be getting rid of their guns. After all...he only likes to shoot them..he really doesn't like being on the business end of a "bad guys" gun. AND..the government didn't take a single one of his guns...We are just interpreting the ENTIRE second amendment.
