Second Amendment

[AFB]

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.

How do you personally define "arms"? Clubs? Knives? Pistols? Rifles? ARs? Granades? Mortars? RPGs? Nukes?

question, why would a non collector civilians need mortars, RPGs, nuke, Granades, and fully automatic assault rifles and machine guns?

 

[K1052]

There are already about 10 gun threads that address this.

 

[Nitemare]

Some people would like that to mean muskets & bows and arrows.

I prefer to think of it as any non-military firearm

Whatever arms are necessary for a well-regulated militia to be able to defend the security of a free state.

Anything that would give the people a fighting chance against their government should they decide it shouldn't be in place anymore.

But who's right is it to determine what civilians need as far as arms? The same liberals who don't want others defining when life starts, or who you can marry, want to choose what arms you can and can't own. :roll:

(I have never owned a gun in my life. Just a strong supporter of freedom.)

 

When you graduate high school take some classes in college about interpretation of laws and amendments.

WINNER! :beer:

The well-regulated militia btw is the common men, allowed to keep arms and to train themselves in the use of arms (not the national guard or any other professional or semi-professional military). In other words, the regular citizens, those same brave men who helped the Founding Fathers win the Revolutionary War, aka citizen soldiers, the same ones that were also considered indispensible in America winning WWII.

In general, "arms" are defined as those weapons that the common military infantry would carry on their persons; rifles, pistols, swords, etc. Grenades are considered to be explosives, which are ordinance. Cannons were not considered to be arms in Revolutionary War times, but artillery, and today that would include mortars, rpgs, nukes, tomahawk cruise missiles, etc.

I do not separate political issues concerning rights. That is correct.

This is exactly right, folks. The "arms" in the Second Amendment are those commonly carried by an infantry soldier and the like.
