[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, [b]the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.[/b][/i]
You can't take it away from us. [/quote]

What militia are you part of? How is it being regulated?[/quote]

This is what the 2nd amendment says:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the [b]right of the people[/b] to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

It is the right of the people, We the people, not the militia, that shall not be infringed.

This is what you want it to say:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the [b]right of the militia[/b] to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.[/quote]

It is clumsy wording that has received bastardized interpretation. A militia is comprised of the people being referenced. Like I said, enjoy your guns now. Compensate for your inadequacies, feel strong, kill something, etc. A future government/court will take care of this as the current generation will not. We are at the apex of gun ownership. [/quote]

The opening phrase is what is called an absolute phrase that lists a prominent example of why, but not the sole reason why, the rights of the people shall not be infringed.  An absolute phrase is not exclusive.

Consider: Trembling, I opened the package. It does mean I exclusively trembled.  I could also have also been frowning, sweating, shaking or any other number of things as well that are not ruled out grammatically by choosing to focus on trembling.[/quote]

We change up SCOTUS and we change up the interpretation.  Pleases see Roe.[/quote]

Not an interpretation but the logic of the grammar. Which our forebears knew a lot better than we do today.[/quote]
