Okay. So go down to the federal courthouse and shout, "Bomb!" and see what happens.

What IS absolute is the fact you voted for this mess, knowing (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) well what was going to happen.

You prove my point...and that of Justice Holmes. Speech that is dangerous and TRUE is protected by the first amendment. Speech that is dangerous and FALSE is not

Yes sir, you're asking for a long lecture, a real dissertation. Why don't you ask a specific question, and we'll run it up the flagpole and talk about it.

I did ask for an explanation of a specific topic but can understand that the topic may be to broad for the explanation in the setting we are in. I too am limited on time here also so if I don't respond adequately my apologies.
I believe the intent of the afor mentioned amendment had one general purpose in the intentions of the founders and that general purpose was to give the person or people the ability to defend their constitutional rights against any governmental infringement, both domestic or foreign, as a last resort back stop. What is your perceived general understanding of the intent or purpose of this right as written by the creators?

Yes sir: I agree with your interpretation of the Second A.

But it doesn't say so clearly. It results from sausage being made.

In Biden’s terminology, at which point does the word absolute end. Does it mean banning certain firearms or does it mean the government can smash down doors to confiscate AR 15 type firearms that are deemed unfit for any citizen to own. Anybody can play with a word.

No sir, training is not a requirement and would be a major problem. Some people would not be able to afford training and the liberals would use training requirements to take away our rights. Gun safety is a personal responsibility.

So the amendment is not saying a state is required to, or has a right to, keep a well regulated militia. It's saying that because a well regulated militia (army) is necessary to keep a free state secure, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

So the whole point of the amendment is to say the people have a right to keep and bear arms.

The word "regulated" is not meant technically in the modern, contemporary use of the word. Regulated in the context of the amendment means a potent, well-maintained, sufficiently powerful to protect the state.

I've often thought the Founders believed that citizens should be able to carry the same arms as their military counterparts. By their use of regulated, I wonder if the Founders believed that training should be involved with such military type firearms?[/quote]

I wasn't insinuating it wasn't absolute, it is for our country, its what made our country. I agree our second amendment rights were not God given, its been documented our founders copied that from from the British (English) constitution. (which their people allowed them to trample)

I'm just wondering what they meant by a "regulated militia"?

it is very humbling to know that the founders were mostly wealthier people....they signed the paper (DOI) and were subject to execution if caught.

My God given rights are not subject to being taken away because some people sign a piece of paper. Make no mistake about it, if they are able to disarm the conservatives of this country we will be purged and punished...Stand Tall, Fellas!

This ain't up for debate.

Okay, James. Please point out where I am going wrong with this specific statement?

"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 the amendment is not saying a state is required to, or has a right to, keep a well-regulated militia. It's saying that because a well-regulated militia (army) is necessary to keep a free state secure, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. So the whole point of the amendment is to say the people have a right to keep and bear arms. The word "regulated" is not meant technically in the modern, contemporary use of the word.

I'm reasonably fat and happy. Content with my life.

I feel no compelling reason to put my and my family's lives at risk by doing something stupid, like what happened on January 6.

I'm not going to war over my right to own an AR. I may hide mine or otherwise dispose of it, but I ain't taking up arms over it.

I'll work within our established political system--Congress, the courts, and local officials--to try to preserve our rights.

James, you've already demonstrated you don't care about your 2A rights. I know you said you didn't think creepy joe was serious, but I know you're not that stupid.

I've read my share of early history, and from what I've read most early militias were armed by their town or state.. As in, they didn't keep their own weapons personally.

I believe based on letters written by the framers on the laws of this country, others documents written in that Era, laws passed by those people and early judicial interpretation that it it very clear what the intention was even if the actual wording of the Constitution may leave room for other meanings. With that in mind any effort to lessen, change, deviate or restrict that right(knowingly or unknowingly) to any law abiding free citizen of this country is an act of treason against this nation and its people. And I fully believe the powers in control are knowingly undermining the intent of the law.
