“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.”
A well-regulated militia,(meaning: all United States citizens, never convicted of any violent crimes, have the right to organize/teach/drill in preparation to protect and serve the community);
being necessary to the security of a free State,(meaning: these same citizens NOT only have the RIGHT, but the DUTY, to defend our unalienable rights, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, from ANY/ALL enemies both foreign AND domestic.);
the right of the people to keep and bear arms,(meaning: the right of the people to keep, possess, bear, carry, and maintain any arms, weapons, ammunition, or other items necessary to facilitate the use thereof);
shall not be infringed.(meaning: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE GOVERNMENT DENY/VOLATE/HINDER/ALTER/REMOVE ANY OF THE TENETS OF THE RIGHTS LISTED ABOVE).
We believe the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution reads very clearly. However, due to the razor thin 5 to 4 decision of the recent Supreme Court case ruling in favor of the citizens of Washington DC “earning back” their rights to possess arms within the district: and the recent ILLEGAL gun confiscation in New Orleans during hurricane Katrina; we believe it necessary to more definitively state what we believe the Founding Fathers meant when crafting the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. Simply stated: we the people have PRECISELY THE SAME Right/Duty to defend ourselves from a tyrannical domestic government as the government has the Right/Duty to defend us from a tyrannical foreign government. WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT, NOT SUBJECTS TO IT.
