The US constitution is a living document that must be adapted and interpreted with the times. The framers had no idea of the weapons that would be produced and available in the future. To pretend that people should be able to walk around with whatever weapon they choose is laughable.

I do agree that people should have the right to bear arms. But people also have the right to be safe from some of the idiots who do bear arms. And there are a lot of idiots who bear guns...

"Safe from idiots" - so you think some ''gun control'' would affect the bad guys!? Sorry - they are the least likely to be gun free. Disarming or limiting the law abiding folks only gives the bad guys the advantage - they are one group that will always be armed - with whatever weapons they choose.

@JHallSecuritysys

I don't think that means what you think it does. So tell me what you think Madison is saying.

[JHallSecuritysys]

@Raycing Not to mention the fact that the right of self defense is a NATURAL, HUMAN RIGHT,such rights being an IMMUTABLE TRUTH and PRE-EXISTING all forms of government; they exist DESPITE government!

Government can be RIGHTEOUS and RESPECT such rights,or,it can be TYRANNICAL and violate them.

@rahpiklz

Of course,an amendment written with the words "the right of the people" can't POSSIBLY be about an individual right,can it?

Its hard to imagine how so many people still dont understand that the Second Amendment is a prohibition on the federal government from infringing on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

Whats ABSURDLY "revisionist" is the constantly changing assaults on the 2A with the intention of doing just that.

[JHallSecuritysys]

@PingOnThis The Constitution is actually a product of two factions,the federalist and anti-federalists.But this is besides the point.Jefferson AND Madison -you know,the guy who wrote the Bill of Rights- wrote the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions to protest the Adams administrations abuse of authority.

Both of these gentlemen understood the Constitution.

And the Constitution grants no such "interpretive" power to the SCOTUS.

[JHallSecuritysys]

@PingOnThis Well you got it right here!

[PingOnThis]

@JHallSecuritysys while I agree with the sentiment expressed, the Constitution is more of a product of Monroe than Jefferson. As I understand it, Jefferson believed that the Constitution provided the federal government too much power. That said, if the people (or states) determine that the federal government is no longer abiding by the constitution or has become damaging to liberty, then the government has lost its legitimacy.

@jpfo1776 This guy "gimme5bucks" has NO clue.

Probably never read the Federalist Papers,the Virginia and Kentucky Resolution....nada.

Thinks the Constitution can just be bent around as the supreme court pleases,without even an iota of understanding that EVEN THAT COURT is supposed to be bound by the Constitution!

Boy,I'd sure like to be able to make the rules I have to follow be anything I want them to be too!

[JHallSecuritysys]

@JWonn The "founding brothers"?

Seriously?

the first part of the Second Amendment,known as the PREAMBLE,is subjective to the OPERATIVE CLAUSE.

The OPERATIVE CLAUSE being the ACTUAL LAW -"the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".

Seriously.

Before you go around trying to educate others,get an education yourself.

[JHallSecuritysys]

@JWonn No,its NOT a "power held by the supreme court" to just be able to make up the law as it goes.

It is,as is the ENTIRE federal government,bound by the Constitution as the Constitution is the highest law!

[JHallSecuritysys]

@PingOnThis Nope.

"........that the government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of its powers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party (Each state) has an equal right to judge for itself........"

-Thomas Jefferson,Kentucky Resolutions of 1798
