Explaining the Constitution- 2nd Amendment

"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."

This one is pretty easy. The only reason this is even really discussed is because the Constitution is once again standing squarely between liberals and their agenda. It is simply the parsing of words, just like the definition of "is" or "earmark" (or "Socialist").

regulate- v. 1. to adjust for accurate or proper functioning. 2. to put or maintain in order.

Militia - n. 1. An army of trained civilians, potentially called upon in time of need; 2. the entire able-bodied population or a private force, not under government control.

arms- n. 1. an instrument of attack or defense in combat, e.g. a gun, missile, or sword;
2. an instrument or other means of harming or exerting control over another

infringe- v. 1. to encroach, break or violate a standing agreement, right, contract, etc.

So for those of you that appear to have difficulty comprehending the English language, I have translated:

"A well ordered and properly functioning able-bodied population, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear instruments of attack and defense in combat, shall not be encroached, broken or violated."

What is so difficult to understand about that?

Was the DC gun ban unconstitutional? Obviously. The common babble I get back on this is "but people don't need machine guns"- sorry to break it to you, but that is not for you to decide. I think it is pretty clear. It does not say "the right of the people to keep hunting rifles, pepper spray and stun guns shall not be infringed". It also does not say "shall not be infringed with the following exceptions.....". It clearly, in very plain English, says "ARMS...SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. (period)"

I ticks me off that our society is so corrupt that this even needs to be explained.
