What's your take on 2nd amendment

[Oss]

WE (The armies of Roosevelt Churchill and Stalin) failed THEM  not the other way around.

If there had been no uprising there would be no survivors at all to tell the story.

I rode to work yesterday and will do so again today

In my book if there are grandchildren of survivors they won

It's nice to know that we have riders on this forum that are just as smart and articulate as Puff"s Daddy.

Key words here are "People",  "mandatory" as in strings attached,  Madison's 46th Federalist paper.

I'd say that we, the gun owners and believers in the 2nd Amendment are justified in our belief.

That's it for me but I'm sure we'll hear more on this thread.

Signin off.

When the founders wrote "regulated", it meant trained, not controlled. In Madisons papers he describes the milita as all able bodied men and gives a age range that I cant remember offhand. Changing the language to fit whatever outcome you want is no different than taking a phrase wholey out of context.

Oddly, the NRA opposes mandatory firearm training as a condition of gun ownership. Guess they don't read Madison. Not surprising.

I was trying to be good.

You could possibly put those words together in a way that would be more out of context, but I cant see how at the moment.

FYI, the NRA is a firearms training org. That is their main charter and the reason they were formed. The 2A stuff is only recent because someone had to and they are the 300lb gorrilla.

Yes Iraq had firearms, if they had tried to revolt, I missed it.
