who was the knob that made the law right for americans 2 bear arms?

Answer 1

the law was for the right for all men to bear arms this was realy meant in the old engish way for men to bear arms in confict or the right to form an army not they way it has been interpretid as the right to carry a weopon anywhere anytime.

Answer 2

This is included in the Bill of Rights - but if you are considering that amendment, use the whole thing. It is normally quoted out of context, changing the meaning. The intent here was to allow ordinary people to be organized into 'home guard' units to protect their townships from the British or other invaders. It was never intended that any citizen could just buy any weapons they wanted for personal use. The amendment says:

"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."

What this implies is that the bearing of arms would only occur within a regulated (organized, controlled) militia. It was not intended as a personal right just to own a gun.

Answer 3

From wikipedia:
The Second Amendment, as passed by the House and Senate and later ratified by the States, reads:

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.

The hand-written copy of the Bill of Rights which hangs in the National Archives had slightly different capitalization and punctuation inserted by William Lambert, the scribe who prepared it. This copy reads:

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.

Both versions are commonly used by "official" Government publications.

Answer 4

Our founding fathers were very smart.

England wanted to take away our guns, and our rights, and keep us as chattel.

Why do you think the terrorists used airplanes on 9-11? Airports are the only place in America where you cannot carry a legally owned and licensed firearm. Made for easy access to the death and destruction, didn't it?

Can you really imagine any country being stupid enough to enter our country on land and attempt a takeover? Every little old lady with her husband's hunting rifle would be killing them, every step of the way.

Ok, so let's just ban guns. So then the government would be the only one with guns right? I don't think so. Most crimes are committed by criminals who have obtained their guns ILLEGALLY. If the government can't stop illegal immigration, drug trafficking, prostitution, etc., what makes you think they would be able to get the guns out of the criminal's hands?

They wouldn't. So banning guns will allow all the power to the government, invading nations, and CRIMINALS. While, the law abiding citizens, like me, would not be able to defend themselves.

GREAT IDEA.
