[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments in the Constitution, spells out Americans’ rights in relation to their government.

So the 2nd amendment refers to the rights of the individual.   The framers understood that not everyone might understand the concept of the people having rights so they reiterated it in the 9th amendment because it would be impossible to enumerate every right.

9th amendment states - The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

The other 9 amendments in the BOR recognize individual rights. The 2nd amendment created the state national guards. It’s a collective right, not an individual right. It’s just that it was accidentally inserted into a document that otherwise had a listing of individual rights. It was an oversight, a mistake. The sooner we acknowledge that the sooner we can do away with these guns. [/quote]

Yes, the framers spent all that time and effort, yet made such a mistake.  Must be nice in your fantasy world.  [/quote]

If the framers could have known the state of gun violence in the US today, they never would have included the 2nd amendment as it is written.[/quote]

It is so unfortunate that guns were invented then. More modern consumer products, like cars, are highly regulated.

Too bad the current court is not smart enough to understand societies need to evolve.[/quote]

The Founding Fathers included the words "well regulated"  for a reason...  Guns need to be well regulated.[/quote]

The militia is to be “well regulated.”  In addition, look at all the progressive $hithole cities (including DC) with the most gun laws - ironically, they have the most gun violence. Gee, ya think there might be other things at work?[/quote]

The US is becoming a sh#thole country BECAUSE it is being flooded with guns. Gun deaths and mass shootings are up everywhere in this country - cities, suburban, exurban, and rural. Guns are now the #1 killer of children.

Sounds like a sh#thole country to me.[/quote]

Don’t let the door hit you in the a$$. [/quote]
