What do the following 27 words mean to you?
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.
Put in the context of the times in which those words were penned, do we as a people have the un-infringed right to keep and bear arms so that if called upon we can field a well-regulated militia to stand against tyranny and oppression on our home soil?
Was it because such a people were able to arm themselves and confront what at the time was a considered an army of a tyrannical government that we have the freedoms we enjoy as a people today.
Does this mean that “assault” weapons should be banned?
Does mean that “high capacity” magazines should be banned?
Does this mean that full auto weapons should be banned?
How much clearer can the words shall not be infringed be?
