....and it chafes my azz. Liberals and some dumbazz RINO's do not read the 2nd Amendment correctly. Honestly, I don't know many or any that do. So, I thought I would take the time to write this. I am a history lover, especially as it relates to our founders. They were the most brilliant group of men that God ever gave breath to.
The 2nd Amendment needs to be read in the context of the time it was written and what our brand new nation had just gone through.
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.
The Revolutionary War had just been won and it was a bloody fight. The founders had reason to fear a standing army. The British army had just been unleashed on them. These were their own countrymen at the time! Of course, we know the rest of that story. Hence, the first 13 words of the 2nd Amendment. The founders were acknowledging the necessity of a free state to maintain a well regulated militia and that meant regulated by the people. Many nations had turned their Army on their own people in history at that time.
Thus, recognizing the necessity and the danger of a standing army and the possibility of a tyrannical government, the founders acknowledged the God given right of the people of our nation to have the implements necessary to defend ourselves from tyranny with the next 14 words.
The 2nd Amendment has absolutely nothing to do with hunting or target shooting! It is solely written to acknowledge the peoples right to be in control and to have the implements to enforce that control over the militia and the government!
We The People.
