2nd Amendment Demystified

If only...

Judges which avoid Constitutional arguments in their courts should be replaced. The Second Amendment is easily demystified. I am nothing more than a media designer with only a fine arts degree, and I will perform the necessary demystifying forth with.

The "...well regulated militia being necessary for a free state..." simply and clearly means that citizens MUST stay armed and should have local militias to keep their local states free from federal government intrusion. The Jefferson letters make this clear as well as any historical documents from the free press back then and various regional letters of representatives reporting back to Philadelphia that the states did not want to sign the US Constitution until amendments were included that guarded states from a federal government ever being better armed than local militias populated by citizens.

"A well regulated militia..." can't be misconstrued as meaning a federal government's military because the other end of the statement has the militias ensuring a free state. This can not be cross border actions from foreign governments. The language in the Second Amendment never once mentions the security of America. It has always been about the security of local citizens from a federal government.

Local militias were made up of local citizens. The firearms they used to arm the militias were local citizen supplied guns, not government issued firearms. Therefore, The Second Amendment is virtually requiring, ** REQUIRING ** all local citizens to stay armed, and furthermore warns the federal government to never make any law that infringes upon that right.

Any elected servant that construes anything else is uneducated and grossly ill equipped to make judgement calls about the rights of American citizens, especially where fire arms are concerned.

Amendment II United States Constitution

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.
