Not much chance of thaat mike, I am 57, and I have five grandkids,, I hope That they are allowed to own guns when they grow up.
When you get to the eleventh grade, you might understand better.
I think any tenth grader should be able to read the 27 words of the second amendment, and understand that ANY restriction is "repugnant to the constitution".
Do you see anything that is vague, or confusing about this line?
The joke's getting old, I think. And aren't all corpses dead?Rev. Corpse said:When you graduate the 9th grade, go back and re-read Art 6 para 2.
Which implies that simply reading the amendment by itself should impart perfect knowledge of its application.I think any tenth grader should be able to read the 27 words of the second amendment, and understand that ANY restriction is "regugnant to the constitution".
go back and re-read Art 6 para 2
So which is it? Is the second amendment self-sufficient, or must it be understood according to its constitutional context?
Are Tenth Graders taught principles of constitutionalism such that that are aware that a Constitution frames a government and a BOR defines limits/principles of THAT government? Since the USBOR was intended to limit only the federal government, and the Second Amendment has never been "incorporated" under the 14th "Amendment", it doesn't seem to follow that ANY restriction on the RKBA is "repugnant to the Constitution".
So, now tenth-graders need to read not just the whole Constitution in order to understand Amendment 2, they need to read debates on that amendment?
GREAT BOOK!!!
Such a construction is completely false. The USBOR was intended to limit only the US, the US Constitution doesn't limit the States unless is says "no State shall", and the supreme law of the land is the Tenth Amendment which says that powers not delegated to the US are reserved to each State.Nor does the USBOR only limit the FedGov except where explicitly noted in the First Amendment. Everything else applies via Art 6 para 2 and the 10th.

If you liked Freehold you'll love The Weapon, by the same author.One was by a THR participant, Michael Z. Williamson: FREEHOLD
I think you would have to include "The Second Amendment Primer", by Les Adams, Paladium Press pub..
It's researches the history of the right to keep and bear arms from ancient times, Greece, early England, to now.
It is short and sweet and to the point.
