What is your opinion on the Second Amendment?

Do you believe citizens should not own fire arms?

Do you think the government shouldn’t decide how a citizen defends him or herself

Etc.

Discuss, be civil.

The Bill of Rights most importantly tells us what the government Can Not do.
The second amendment specifically stated our right to be armed cannot be infringed:
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.

@GJOFJ3 The language is neither simple nor black and white. It's been argued in the courts and among citizens for decades.

@Graylight it's VERY clear, the only people argue are those wanting to infringe on our rights

@GJOFJ3 funny that you would have more wisdom and knowledge to draw on them the Supreme Court, which heretofore never ruled on the Second Amendment until only recently. Up until then he had only been an argument and a philosophical debate. There is nothing clear about the Second Amendment, from the stilted language to the meaning of our forefathers. For instance, Washington stated that militias in which people used their arms we're meant to exist only until the standing army was formed.

@GJOFJ3 and they are separate pieces but the American citizen is the militia

@Graylight Washington didn't write the Bill of Rights. There is no ambiguity to
"the RIGHT of the PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED."

@GJOFJ3 There is clearly some ambiguity because there are clowns here in the comments trying to tell me that nuclear arms aren’t arms 🤷‍♂️

Wannabe lawyers 🙄
