If a person wanting to commit a crime, walks into a store wanting to rob it. And if the robber knows everyone and their grandmother is carrying. The robber is not going to rob the store. Because they don't want to be killed,they want to do the killing. In most school shootings the shooter walks out and hides within the children. Now why is that? Gun free zones sucks and most people know it.
I agree but I think the crime rate would be less if those who carry are proficient in the use of their firearm. You need to know how to use it and use it correctly to make it an effective deterrent.

@@toddmichaels42 Bare is to carry, Bear is a big hair animal that will mess to up real bad. You may carry, bare arms, but you should first learn how to fight like a bear, then you will always be armed.
kris palermo Nope, you have it backwards. Pull out your copy of the Constitution and read. The Phrase is "to keep and BEAR arms". Bare means without accoutrements. Such as clothing. Where did you say you went to school?
@@krispalermo8133 might want to reread your post. Check your dictionary maybe. BARE means naked. BEAR has two meanings...first, BEAR, AS TO HOLD OR CARRY...second, BEAR,A WILD ANIMAL SUCH AS KODIAK,GRIZZLY,POLAR AND BLACK BEARS AS A SPECIES. Pretty simple,really.
@MrOhevi Bare means naked, but to bear is to carry something. A bear is also a brown furry animal, but most people keep that one straight. ... In its verb form, bear is rooted in the Old English beran, meaning “to bring forth, sustain, endure” and more. So you can bear (or carry) a grudge. You can bear(or give birth to) children. The Second Amendment to America's constitution 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.” ... He went on to explain “bear arms”. For him, “to bear” was simple enough,meaning “to carry”.
All proposals for any action against the Second Amendment should be seen as an act of war on the Citizenry, Government infringing on the only insurance policy against Government is a conflict of interest and anyone doing so should be convicted of sedition. The Second Amendment broke down using the terms and definitions of the time: *"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_* Richard Henry Lee: “A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves…and include all men capable of bearing arms.” (Additional letters from the Federal Farmer, at 169, 1788) James Madison: “A WELL REGULATED militia, composed of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.” (1st Annals of Congress, at 434, June 8th 1789 "The militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves, ... all men capable of bearing arms;" - Richard Henry Lee 1788 A Regulated Militia was anyone 18-40 that was capable with firearms. Im Well Armed, Well Versed in Firearms, and I am one of the People (US Citizen)...therefore I am part of a Well Regulated Militia. *_being necessary to the security of a free State_* It says exactly what it was intended for, not for the defense of your home but the security of freedom within the "state" meaning Country. This encompasses the entire Country, not just a home or individual.... *_the right of the people to keep and bear Arms_* The Right of the People, meaning every man, woman, and child has an Individual Right. Meaning that even if the majority of people demand to have their Rights taken by the Government I still have my Right, I never forfeited or gave consent for them to be taken and no one speaks for me. Even if Government wrote laws to diminish the Constitution those Rights are still mine as the Government does not have a higher claim of Authority over me than I do. Keep and Bear means on person or in hand, any and all arms* that exist. Arms meaning any weapon used for offense or defense. *_shall not be infringed._* I shouldn't have to break this down but meaning zero restriction. No regulations, no restrictions, no taxes, that all bearable firearms/accessories/parts/ammunitions/destructive devices and all other weapons are to be free to own by the citizenry. No Government or Union/Group shall interfere on this Amendment in any form or manner, for the citizens will carry arms to keep the security of the free state, against all threats foreign or domestic. Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243 (1846) is a Georgia Supreme Court ruling that a state law ban on handguns was an unconstitutional violation of the Second Amendment. This was the first gun control measure to be overturned on Second Amendment grounds.[1] "Nor is the right involved in this discussion less comprehensive or valuable: "The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed." The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is, that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right, originally belonging to our forefathers, trampled under foot by Charles I. and his two wicked sons and successors, reestablished by the revolution of 1688, conveyed to this land of liberty by the colonists, and finally incorporated conspicuously in our own Magna Charta!" When you become a Public Servant, you are supposed to REPRESENT THE PEOPLE WHO ELECT YOU, to uphold and protect the Constitution, all officials should be Constitutionalists through and through - it should be a mandatory requirement to run for office. If the Supreme Courts "interpretations" will lead to change in how the Constitution is interpreted, while the interpretation is ever evolving, then the Constitution means nothing as the interpretations could say one thing and they can "interpret" whats written as something else and go from there. This is how the ATF has been criminalizing law abiding citizens since their conception and we've seen how dangerous that becomes (See: WACO and Ruby Ridge) What the Founding Fathers practiced and what they wrote should be weighed and valued, not how people "interpret" it today as the new age views seem to be radically different than what the Founding Fathers practiced themselves. The Constitution and our Founding Fathers wanted us to be AS armed as the State, that we should have any bearable arms we could want, as a deterrent to tyranny. Civilians owned Warships fitted with explosives and multiple cannons, the Founders contracted to build the first automatic rifle but could not afford it, it was something they were doing for the people. There were a slew of "advanced" firearms during the time: Chambers Flintlock, Puckle gun, Belton Flintlock, Ferguson Rifle, Kalthoff Repeater, Nock gun, Chinese rocket arrows, Hwacha, Hand cannons, Chinese lever crossbow, Duckfoot pistol, German wheel-lock rifles, Rampart guns, Volley guns, Death battery, German axe pistols. They had rifles that carried a handful of rounds also like the Girandoni Rifle that held 22-25 shots. (Mag limit argument). To suggest that civilians couldn't own any and all arms today and that the Constitution didn't cover them is preposterous. Do you believe that they couldn't envision that technology would advance? If you don't agree with these claims then Free Speech is also limited to goose-quill pen and an iron gall or carbon-based ink if that argument is consistent. *Sources and other Important Links* : *The Constitution* : www.firearmsandliberty.com/constitution.html *Bill of Rights* : www.let.rug.nl/usa/documents/1786-1800/bill-of-rights-and-the-amendments-to-the-constitution.php *Federalist Papers* : www.firearmsandliberty.com/federalist.html *Anti Federalist Papers* : www.firearmsandliberty.com/AntiFederalist/TheAntiFederalistPapers.pdf *Drafting the Declaration of Independence* : www.constitutionfacts.com/us-declaration-of-independence/drafting-the-declaration/ *Declaration of Independence* : www.constitutionfacts.com/us-declaration-of-independence/read-the-declaration/ *The Case for the American Revolution* : www.constitutionfacts.com/us-declaration-of-independence/case-for-revolution/ *The American Revolutionary Era Origin of the Second Amendment's Clauses* : www.secondamendmentinfo.com/Journal/index.html “You will never know how much it cost my generation to preserve your freedom.

"If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." - Thomas Jefferson "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty" But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. - Thomas Jefferson “The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and the name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void and ineffective for any purpose since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it; an unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed … An unconstitutional law is void.” (16 Am. Jur. 2d, Sec. 178) Under federal law, 18 USC 242, it is illegal for anyone under the color of law to deprive any person of the rights, privileges or immunities secured by the U.S. Constitution, and under 18 USC 241 it is illegal to conspire to violate such rights. It is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. This could be applied to local, state, or federal law enforcement or military personnel who abuse the rights of citizens. Every state has a similar law.
@Raymo2u sure and we should do something about it, but here in Minnesota if I exercise my 2a rights by carrying without a permit, I'm arrested, and I f I do it again, and get caught it's a felony, and I lose my guns, so how should I be fighting it?
The right to Keep and Bear arms. “Keep” Meaning own. “Bear” Meaning carry. “Shall not be infringed” Meaning leave it alone!!!! Not complicated at all...
What did "well regulated" mean when the Second Amendment was written? Lets look at a dictionary from that time period... The following are taken from the Oxford English Dictionary, and bracket in time the writing of the 2nd amendment: 1709: "If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations." 1714: "The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world." 1812: "The equation of time ... is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial." 1848: "A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor." 1862: "It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding." 1894: "The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city." Well regulated = In good working order
The meaning of the Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms.... not NEED Arms = Ordinary Military Equipment Bear= Carry Militia = Not enlisted, not contracted armed citizens Regulated = In good working order. As in well regulated clock. Shall not be infringed = No Restrictions
@@tsafa SO for those who can't follow what tsafa wrote, when 2A was written, "in layman's terms, well-regulated" meant well trained, plain and simple.

Most people don’t ever point out that the 2A says “arms” not “firearms.” Arms means ALL OF THEM, without exception. Knives? Yes. Swords? Yes. Handguns? Yes. Rifles? Yes. Shotguns? Yes. Predator drones with hellfire missiles? Yes. Anti tank mines? Yes. When some silly Star Wars nerd invents a functional lightsaber? Yes.
@Michayal Valder anything the military can and does use the civilian people have the same right to use . By the way you if you are between the ages of 18 and 45 ( later turned to the age of 65 ) are part of the unorganized state militia and can be called to duty by the governor of your state to defend your state from foreign or domestic enemies .
This isn’t just about the right to bear arms. It’s about weather states can restrict our rights, any rights. It’s scary that so many allow the states so much power over their lives.
Jomama The can and they are. Don’t think quoting the constitution will keep you from jail. Try carrying in NJ and you’ll first hand see how they take your rights. You will NOT win in court. Fact. It’s sucks, but it’s fact.
@@tokochi100 The Bill of Rights" were written in a time when anyone capable of purchasing or producing any form of arms was expected to. Although commonly implemented by formal militaries, weapons are more often than not developed and produced by non-military personnel or civilians.

Johnny Quest, i had that very discussion with an attorney one time. In my job i deal with terms such as should and shall. I understand them very well. He actually told me that shall not is not always definitive. Whoever is teaching these lawyers is an idiot. "Shall not" is as definitive as you get.
@@tipr8739 People should have the right to vote in the privacy of their homes, all day, any day, on any topic, any number of instances, and under any name. No other democracy guaranteed.
Close but not quite. Two places never allowed and under certain circumstances... 1. if you were a party before an action before any court you were not allowed to bear arms in open court; you and opposing counsel. But the public has every right, as well as your friends, to do so. 2. If you wanted to visit someone in jail you were not allowed to bear arms when visiting; if they had killed your wife, for instance or daughter you'd likely just use the weapon on them so not there, either. However, that ends the restrictions altogether. Anywhere open to public including starbucks, walmart etc but no right to restrict to open or concealed sincde BOTH protected and no property right allows them to restrict. Of course we need to remember ONLY "exceptions" adopted and in place before 12-15-1789 are lawful and allowed. Respecting mental illness there were no laws that allowed confiscation and banned altogether entirely. What was allowed, however, was to bring someone suspected of being a danger to self or others due to mental disease or defect; they'd make a legal finding of fact and law and if so you'd be kept off the streets while allowing time to be treated and cured. Once released full rights including rkba was restored at that moment. The only other temporary deprivation was for conviction of a felony of wrongful attack against another human being. This must be so severe that it carried the death penalty. Anything less fails and no temporary deprivation is allowed. Once a person released from jail right is fully restored, period. If convicted of a reckless endangerment with a firearm you could be ordered to sell the prized weapon although no authority to confiscate even then existed. Of course no illegal act may be committed with a firearms but of course no license, fee, background check, etc can be imposed. Amazing when you aare honest and do the research what you turn up, right? LOL

Carrying of concealed weapons other than a pocketknife was looked upon as suspicious behavior. It was the introduction of small pocket pistols that sparked off the anxiety about concealed weapons in modern times.

"All laws repugnant to the Constitution are NULL and VOID" regardless of both executive and legislative branches agreeing otherwise. Supreme Court- Madison v. Marbury. There is no office in the land that can legislate away a right that shall not be infringed and was placed there for the specific purpose of giving the citizens a means to deal with those who would.
*Tench Coxe said it best...* "As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms." (Tench Coxe in ‘Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym ‘A Pennsylvanian' in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1) "Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American.... [T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people."

NOT TRUE! If you commit a Felony Crime (not misdemeanors or any lower crimes), you only "Lose your rights" until you have completed your "Sentence" issued by the Court! Once you have fulfilled what the Court Of Law has required of you (for example, if you were sentenced to 3 to 9 years in prison, once you have completed your prison term and the following time on Parole, you can [and must request in writing] to have ALL of your Rights restored). The ONLY stipulation to that law, is if the "Crime" that you committed was using a firearm in the commission of that Crime. And in that case, you can still petition to get all of your RIGHTS restored, EXCEPT that your RIGHT to Keep and Bear Arms is at the Discretion of the Judge! The Judge can approve or deny that request.
Study United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939). In the absence of any evidence* tending to show that possession or use of a 'shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length' at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment or that its use could contribute to the common defense. Aymette v. State of Tennessee, 2 Humph., Tenn., 154, 158. ----- * No evidence was presented as neither Jack Miller nor Frank Layton appeared personally or by attorney. Only the US Attorney appeared or presented any evidence to the Court. The wording indicates that any arms that are part of the ordinary military equipment are protected from infringement of their keeping or bearing. These arms are those that are most abhorred by the anti-gun elitists and those who follow them. They abhor these weapons in the possession of the common people. Naturally they are absolutely in favor of their hired gunmen having whatever they think needful. It's YOUR gun that they hate.
Arms definition: weapons, ammunition, and armaments. This means any weapon the user is comfortable with, handguns machine guns or explosives. All of it is protected.
As if the founding fathers meant " The Right to bear arms while your walking around your house in your long johns" Ahh duhh Of course it was meant in public!

Politicians, attorney's, lawyers, prosecutors, judges don't have brains 🤣😂🤣🤣if they did the second amendment wouldn't even be a discussion no gun control laws would even legally exist.
The right to bear arms should also include the allowance to own anything the government's military uses on the battlefield. I call it 'equal protection.'

What I find disturbing is that most judges believe their job is to balance the rights of the people with the powers of government. Why enumerate rights if not solely to LIMIT the powers of government? When the powers of government conflict with the rights of the people the rights of the people win except when the survival of the Republic would be put in doubt. Also the only time a person can be stripped of their rights is while they are being imprisoned either awaiting trial for a criminal charge or serving a sentence for a criminal conviction, and only to the extent necessary to imprison them.
No American citizen should be jailed or imprisoned unless they have been found guilty in a public trial by jury. Law enforcement and the justice department (courts) have been operating illegally unconstitutionally for the past 100 years illegally unconstitutionally jailing/imprisoning American citizens violating their 4th,5th,6th,8th,14th amendment section 1 constitutionally protected rights (liberties, privileges, immunities). Hearings and pretrials themselves are illegal unconstitutional, they don't legally exist under the constitution of the united states only a public trial by jury legally exists under the constitution of the united states of America supreme law of the land.
The language of the second amendment is simple and purposeful. Our founding fathers wrote it so as to allow us to protect all the others. Guns dont kill. If thats the the road you want to go down to save lives then ban cars and blunt objects. Both kill far more then the gun.
"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." * If it is not a right of the people to keep and bear Arms than it is not a free State. If the State is not free than liberty is denied and life becomes contingent on the will of the State. * Two of the three elements for which governments are established are denied and restricted and the third at risk. That government is now illegitimate and it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it. This hopefully is done through the process established by our founders however if that is not possible than the method our founders took by necessity remains an option to the people.

The problem with all of this is qualified immunity. The ability of a judge to interpret the constitution without the liability of criminal and civil suit. They should have no protection for their treason.
That’s what the unambiguous right to BEAR arms is all about! Reading is fundamental! Only somebody who wants to infringe on our rights would say otherwise!

Shall not be infringed...If more people carried guns, there would be less murders, and way less crimes committed by criminals.
If a person wanting to commit a crime, walks into a store wanting to rob it. And if the robber knows everyone and their grandmother is carrying. The robber is not going to rob the store. Because they don't want to be killed,they want to do the killing. In most school shootings the shooter walks out and hides within the children. Now why is that? Gun free zones sucks and most people know it.
@Jim Man sometime you have to use small words.
An armed society is a polite society.
I agree but I think the crime rate would be less if those who carry are proficient in the use of their firearm. You need to know how to use it and use it correctly to make it an effective deterrent.

@MrOhevi Bare means naked, but to bear is to carry something. A bear is also a brown furry animal, but most people keep that one straight. ... In its verb form, bear is rooted in the Old English beran, meaning “to bring forth, sustain, endure” and more. So you can bear (or carry) a grudge. You can bear(or give birth to) children.
The Second Amendment to America's constitution 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.” ... He went on to explain “bear arms”. For him, “to bear” was simple enough,meaning “to carry”.
People are too STUPID too realize that
All proposals for any action against the Second Amendment should be seen as an act of war on the Citizenry, Government infringing on the only insurance policy against Government is a conflict of interest and anyone doing so should be convicted of sedition.
The Second Amendment broke down using the terms and definitions of the time:
*"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_*
Richard Henry Lee: “A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves…and include all men capable of bearing arms.” (Additional letters from the Federal Farmer, at 169, 1788)
James Madison: “A WELL REGULATED militia, composed of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.” (1st Annals of Congress, at 434, June 8th 1789
"The militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves, ... all men capable of bearing arms;" - Richard Henry Lee 1788
A Regulated Militia was anyone 18-40 that was capable with firearms.
Im Well Armed, Well Versed in Firearms, and I am one of the People (US Citizen)...therefore I am part of a Well Regulated Militia.
*_being necessary to the security of a free State_*
It says exactly what it was intended for, not for the defense of your home but the security of freedom within the "state" meaning Country. This encompasses the entire Country, not just a home or individual....
*_the right of the people to keep and bear Arms_*
The Right of the People, meaning every man, woman, and child has an Individual Right. Meaning that even if the majority of people demand to have their Rights taken by the Government I still have my Right, I never forfeited or gave consent for them to be taken and no one speaks for me. Even if Government wrote laws to diminish the Constitution those Rights are still mine as the Government does not have a higher claim of Authority over me than I do. Keep and Bear means on person or in hand, any and all arms* that exist. Arms meaning any weapon used for offense or defense.
*_shall not be infringed._*
I shouldn't have to break this down but meaning zero restriction. No regulations, no restrictions, no taxes, that all bearable firearms/accessories/parts/ammunitions/destructive devices and all other weapons are to be free to own by the citizenry. No Government or Union/Group shall interfere on this Amendment in any form or manner, for the citizens will carry arms to keep the security of the free state, against all threats foreign or domestic.
Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243 (1846) is a Georgia Supreme Court ruling that a state law ban on handguns was an unconstitutional violation of the Second Amendment. This was the first gun control measure to be overturned on Second Amendment grounds.[1]
"Nor is the right involved in this discussion less comprehensive or valuable: "The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed." The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is, that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right, originally belonging to our forefathers, trampled under foot by Charles I. and his two wicked sons and successors, reestablished by the revolution of 1688, conveyed to this land of liberty by the colonists, and finally incorporated conspicuously in our own Magna Charta!"
When you become a Public Servant, you are supposed to REPRESENT THE PEOPLE WHO ELECT YOU, to uphold and protect the Constitution, all officials should be Constitutionalists through and through - it should be a mandatory requirement to run for office.
If the Supreme Courts "interpretations" will lead to change in how the Constitution is interpreted, while the interpretation is ever evolving, then the Constitution means nothing as the interpretations could say one thing and they can "interpret" whats written as something else and go from there. This is how the ATF has been criminalizing law abiding citizens since their conception and we've seen how dangerous that becomes (See: WACO and Ruby Ridge)
What the Founding Fathers practiced and what they wrote should be weighed and valued, not how people "interpret" it today as the new age views seem to be radically different than what the Founding Fathers practiced themselves.
The Constitution and our Founding Fathers wanted us to be AS armed as the State, that we should have any bearable arms we could want, as a deterrent to tyranny. Civilians owned Warships fitted with explosives and multiple cannons, the Founders contracted to build the first automatic rifle but could not afford it, it was something they were doing for the people. There were a slew of "advanced" firearms during the time: Chambers Flintlock, Puckle gun, Belton Flintlock, Ferguson Rifle, Kalthoff Repeater, Nock gun, Chinese rocket arrows, Hwacha, Hand cannons, Chinese lever crossbow, Duckfoot pistol, German wheel-lock rifles, Rampart guns, Volley guns, Death battery, German axe pistols. They had rifles that carried a handful of rounds also like the Girandoni Rifle that held 22-25 shots. (Mag limit argument). To suggest that civilians couldn't own any and all arms today and that the Constitution didn't cover them is preposterous. Do you believe that they couldn't envision that technology would advance? If you don't agree with these claims then Free Speech is also limited to goose-quill pen and an iron gall or carbon-based ink if that argument is consistent.

It is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. This could be applied to local, state, or federal law enforcement or military personnel who abuse the rights of citizens. Every state has a similar law.

“Bear” Meaning carry.

Not complicated at all...
What did "well regulated" mean when the Second Amendment was written?
Lets look at a dictionary from that time period... The following are taken from the Oxford English Dictionary, and bracket in time the writing of the 2nd amendment:
1709: "If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations."
1714: "The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world."
1812: "The equation of time ... is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial."
1848: "A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor."
1862: "It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding."
1894: "The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city."
Well regulated = In good working order
The meaning of the Second Amendment
Right to Bear Arms.... not NEED
Arms = Ordinary Military Equipment
Bear= Carry
Militia = Not enlisted, not contracted armed citizens
Regulated = In good working order. As in well regulated clock.
Shall not be infringed = No Restrictions

Why yes I believe it does.
Indeed it does... Any that disagree are enemy combatants!..
The RTKBA has zero restriction. That means All Arms. At All Times. In All Places.
Close but not quite. Two places never allowed and under certain circumstances... 1. if you were a party before an action before any court you were not allowed to bear arms in open court; you and opposing counsel. But the public has every right, as well as your friends, to do so. 2. If you wanted to visit someone in jail you were not allowed to bear arms when visiting; if they had killed your wife, for instance or daughter you'd likely just use the weapon on them so not there, either. However, that ends the restrictions altogether. Anywhere open to public including starbucks, walmart etc but no right to restrict to open or concealed sincde BOTH protected and no property right allows them to restrict.
Of course we need to remember ONLY "exceptions" adopted and in place before 12-15-1789 are lawful and allowed. Respecting mental illness there were no laws that allowed confiscation and banned altogether entirely. What was allowed, however, was to bring someone suspected of being a danger to self or others due to mental disease or defect; they'd make a legal finding of fact and law and if so you'd be kept off the streets while allowing time to be treated and cured. Once released full rights including rkba was restored at that moment.
The only other temporary deprivation was for conviction of a felony of wrongful attack against another human being. This must be so severe that it carried the death penalty. Anything less fails and no temporary deprivation is allowed. Once a person released from jail right is fully restored, period.
If convicted of a reckless endangerment with a firearm you could be ordered to sell the prized weapon although no authority to confiscate even then existed.
Of course no illegal act may be committed with a firearms but of course no license, fee, background check, etc can be imposed.

Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American.... [T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." (Tench Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.)
Excellent.....
Also concluded canon and powder
@@daviddutton1408 It includes jets, tanks and aircraft carriers for that matter. We have the right to fight force with force. There are no limitations to what we can use to fight our own tyrannical government and the scum in DC, state houses and town and city halls willl find that out when it hits the fan. I know people who PERSONALLY own tanks, Howitzers and F4 Phantom jets

How is a weapon going to protect you if it's at home?
So if you ever get in trouble you can never have back your "rights" sounds like infringement too me .And anything that can be taken was never yours.
That's in the constitution with slavery being allowed if u are imprisoned but once u do your time an court orders are over your rights was to become yours again
I think if you get in trouble , go to prison,and due your time then you should be able to own a gun....
NOT TRUE!
If you commit a Felony Crime (not misdemeanors or any lower crimes), you only "Lose your rights" until you have completed your "Sentence" issued by the Court!
Once you have fulfilled what the Court Of Law has required of you (for example, if you were sentenced to 3 to 9 years in prison, once you have completed your prison term and the following time on Parole, you can [and must request in writing] to have ALL of your Rights restored).
The ONLY stipulation to that law, is if the "Crime" that you committed was using a firearm in the commission of that Crime. And in that case, you can still petition to get all of your RIGHTS restored, EXCEPT that your RIGHT to Keep and Bear Arms is at the Discretion of the Judge! The Judge can approve or deny that request.
Brett Wenger exactly
I see that as more of a case of the felon gave away that right.
The "RIGHT" to "BEAR ARMS" "SHALL NOT" be "INFRINGED."
Pretty simple to understand...
Study United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939).
In the absence of any evidence* tending to show that possession or use of a 'shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length' at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment or that its use could contribute to the common defense. Aymette v. State of Tennessee, 2 Humph., Tenn., 154, 158.
-----
* No evidence was presented as neither Jack Miller nor Frank Layton appeared personally or by attorney. Only the US Attorney appeared or presented any evidence to the Court.
The wording indicates that any arms that are part of the ordinary military equipment are protected from infringement of their keeping or bearing.
These arms are those that are most abhorred by the anti-gun elitists and those who follow them.
They abhor these weapons in the possession of the common people. Naturally they are absolutely in favor of their hired gunmen having whatever they think needful. It's YOUR gun that they hate.
Arms definition: weapons, ammunition, and armaments. This means any weapon the user is comfortable with, handguns machine guns or explosives. All of it is protected.
As if the founding fathers meant " The Right to bear arms while your walking around your house in your long johns" Ahh duhh Of course it was meant in public!
I think many of our courtroom judges are spiritually and morally bankrupt morons and/ or intellectually dishonest !!
Kentucky recently passed legislation to allow cocealed carry without a permit
Glad to hear that Kentucky is Still a FREE State ! Maga!
The constitution of the united states of America supreme law of the land allows concealed and open carry everywhere in the united states of America,so fk Kentucky and the rest of the terrorist traitors calling themselves local/state/federal/judicial governments.
thats what 'bear" means
"...include the right to carry in public?"
INFRINGEMENT.
*THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. PERIOD.*
BEAR = Have on your person
BEAR: Be Equipped Always Ready
" . . . .the right to keep and BEAR arms shall not be infringed."
So, yes, it does include the right to bear arms out in public.
A no brainer.
Politicians, attorney's, lawyers, prosecutors, judges don't have brains 🤣😂🤣🤣if they did the second amendment wouldn't even be a discussion no gun control laws would even legally exist.
@@dragonf1092 I agree
The right to bear arms should also include the allowance to own anything the government's military uses on the battlefield. I call it 'equal protection.'
100 PERCENT agree.
When you by memory said the Oath, Even though I didn't have to, Having taken the Oath as a Marine, Police Officer, Deputy Sheriff and Soldier, as I did, I'd like to believe that all who sees this episode of G n G, Raised their right hand, Stood or sat at attention and reaffirmed there Oath or even said it for the first time, by the thousands in the comfort of their own homes or where they were when they saw this. I stand by y'all 2nd Amendists and G n G. Thanks for all you do, Keeping us imformed.

@@jimh4375 damn straight brother!
What good does a gun do you if it's at home in a safe while you're out being robbed?
The criminal will have his gun at home in a safe too, so no worries ...
@Pistol Pete actually they're not. All these gun control and safe storage laws are life insurance for the law breakers, ya know, the clients of all those over priced lawyers. The lawyers would go out of business and probably starve if we kept killing off their clients, "bless their hearts"
A weapon isn't just a gun it could be a belt knife,a umberrela.If a women plan it right she could fend off a attack from a horny male with a weapon like pepper gas just whe he was going to take advantage of your realastate.
One should always plan for the worst alway have something to protect yourself always, look for weapon like rocks,BRANCHES you could stab into someone.or club them,screaming could scare them off but I would recommend a walking stick that has a knife build in and learn how to use it.could save your life.
When you leave your home your 2nd amendment right goes with you anywhere you go do you leave your 1st amendment at home when go out I don't think so
The Bill of Rights enumerates limits on the powers of the government, and does not curtail any rights of the people.
It covers all ARMS. If I want a cannon or a tank that is protected under the 2nd Amendment
It's our Natural Right!! and it was before the Constitution and or the Bill of Rights! All of our rights don't end at the doors of our homes! I will NEVER comply even if it becomes a Tyrannical Law in my state to disarm! Never! Don't Ever Tred on Me!
Government limits how much OC spray a person can have when they are outside the home. That's how oppressive they have become.
EEEEEEXACTLY and if we do NOTHING it's GOING TO CONTINUE
the 2A does NOT IN ANY WAY specify what type of arms you can carry! its clearly written in black and white! THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!!
I have read the 2nd Amendment, and nowhere have I found words specifying which "arms" are covered by the Amendment.
Actually, it does. To bear means to carry.
Who gives a crap, gonna bear arms wither you like it or not!
Yes it does, I never leave home without them
The second is my concealed and open carry permit. The Constitution over rides any state,county,or city laws no IFS,AINTS,OR BUTS.
THAT'S how I carry.
What I find disturbing is that most judges believe their job is to balance the rights of the people with the powers of government. Why enumerate rights if not solely to LIMIT the powers of government? When the powers of government conflict with the rights of the people the rights of the people win except when the survival of the Republic would be put in doubt. Also the only time a person can be stripped of their rights is while they are being imprisoned either awaiting trial for a criminal charge or serving a sentence for a criminal conviction, and only to the extent necessary to imprison them.
No American citizen should be jailed or imprisoned unless they have been found guilty in a public trial by jury. Law enforcement and the justice department (courts) have been operating illegally unconstitutionally for the past 100 years illegally unconstitutionally jailing/imprisoning American citizens violating their 4th,5th,6th,8th,14th amendment section 1 constitutionally protected rights (liberties, privileges, immunities). Hearings and pretrials themselves are illegal unconstitutional, they don't legally exist under the constitution of the united states only a public trial by jury legally exists under the constitution of the united states of America supreme law of the land.
If we could carry exposed people would be less likely to mess with someone for fear of getting shot.
The language of the second amendment is simple and purposeful. Our founding fathers wrote it so as to allow us to protect all the others. Guns dont kill. If thats the the road you want to go down to save lives then ban cars and blunt objects. Both kill far more then the gun.
"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."
* If it is not a right of the people to keep and bear Arms than it is not a free State. If the State is not free than liberty is denied and life becomes contingent on the will of the State.
* Two of the three elements for which governments are established are denied and restricted and the third at risk. That government is now illegitimate and it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.
This hopefully is done through the process established by our founders however if that is not possible than the method our founders took by necessity remains an option to the people.
Yes, bear mean to carry openly. Arms means weapons of any kind. Take up arms historically used to mean available weapons.
It includes having any offensive or defensive weapons so it covers canons as well.
The civilians are the militia! We are the largest standing army in the world!
It is not a cops Duty or obligation to protect civilians! Warren vs District of Columbia! 1981 Keep that in mind!
@@antilaw9911 statistics say 40% of law enforcement are guilty of domestic violence! The truth of the matter is it's probably 50 or 60% because some of it goes unreported! That will be the percentage of law enforcement that will enforce unconstitutional laws such as red flag laws and gun confiscation!
@@antilaw9911 come on man, you can't be serious! You're telling me you've never met a good cop in your life! That's sad to hear, I guess you may live in one of those Democratic cities! I don't know. A lot of cops refusing to enforce red flag laws these days , a lot of cops in Virginia refusing to confiscate Firearms these days! Have to watch that stereotyping man. I will say that 40% of law enforcement is guilty of domestic violence. That will be the ones you have to watch out for! But like Jesse Lee says about blacks, not all but most!
Stereotyping cops is no different than stereotyping blacks or stereotyping a man that has a Confederate flag! Anyway you look at it you're judging a man by looks or profession! Not a good idea!
The second amendment is my concealed carry permit
NOT JUST HANDGUNS IN PUBLIC, BUT ALL GUNS!!!!!!!

Mr. Halbrook, you make the most sense of anyone I've heard regarding the Second Amendment. Please continue to educate the political far left. Especially as it pertains to the RIGHT to keep and bear arms. God bless.
According to 9th District Cort of appeals(2019), Yes you have a right to Carry arms(Open Carry)....
I Constitutionally carry!
Yes the right to keep and bear arms includes carrying a firearm in public.
the second amend was never to be interpreted by the gov it was to tell them no they have no right in telling us anything concerning those rights
Well it doesn't say the right to keep and store arms.
An Assault weapon is used when some is assaulting another person....then they are forced to use their Assault Weapon to defend themselves.
By the 'logic' of how the 2nd Amendment is being treated like an infant treats a diaper then any state should be able to grant public speaking permits and ban all public speech not allowed by a state issued permit. Of course, we could still legally speak withing the walls of our own homes. Prove me wrong.

Again... Thomas Jefferson...
"The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824
IT IS THE PEOPLE’S RIGHT AND DUTY TO BE ARMED AT ALL TIMES!!!!!!!!!
Full of historical facts regarding court decisions. Thank you! Why so few views?
bear definition: of a person; carry
That was a very good lecture maybe one day we'll have our full rights as American citizen under the Bill of Rights
I'm in Mass.
It cost's hundreds of dollars per year to carry.
Slingshots are illegal......
Mass needs to be turned upside down,the supreme court should be ordering mass to follow the constituion or else all politions should in prison for there crimes.
STOP ASKING PERMISSION... YOU HAVE A PERMISSION SLIP FROM OUR FOUNDERS
Our lawmakers don’t understand English
They need to go back to elementary school and retake reading comprehension
The problem with all of this is qualified immunity. The ability of a judge to interpret the constitution without the liability of criminal and civil suit. They should have no protection for their treason.
Qualified immunity is corruption of justice it shouldn't even legally lawfully exist.
Until I feel safe to leave my house again with out my firearm I will take it with me.
With the Staggering amount of criminals in this country today the 2nd definitely protects the right to open carry!

The right to bare arms is not given. It is a birthright. Therefore it CANNOT BE TAKEN.
The right to bear arms does include handguns ,rifles, bows, knifes, muzzleloader, baseball bat, stop trashing the constitution
covers rifles and shotguns aswell.
The sentence "The right to bear arms shall not be infringed"
DOES NOT CONCLUDE WITH "only in your homes" ...
Not only does it mean you can carry a hand gun in public, you can open carry any rifle in public as well.
Including machine guns

why refer back to english times didnt we have a revolution to not follow their laws
yeah that they try to enforce some laws taking our weapons there is going to be another civil war
keep, retain, detain, withhold, reserve mean to hold in one's possession or under one's control. keep may suggest a holding securely in one's possession, custody, or control. “What Did “Bear Arms” Mean in the Second Amendment?”
Clayton E. Cramer and Joseph Edward Olson provide solid historical
context proving that the phrase was used repeatedly when referring to
non-military individuals possessing weapons.
and does innocent until proven mean, innocent until thought guilty
'The right to keep and bear arms'. Keep and bare are shown to be intentionally distinguished, I totally agree with you. Georgia just recently passed H.B. 60, called 'Guns Everywhere', allowing it's citizens to carry in schools bars, etc. A very reasonable analysis of 2A, in my view. Thanks for your support
That's awesome, good job Georgia
And own a m1a1 abrams, A F35, a Nimitz carrier if you can afford one.
"Shall not be infringed. "
Of course! You should be able to carry your weapon at all times.
The constitution doesn’t mention whether you can have it in a home or wherever. It says *SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.*
I carry everyday everywhere openly do you?
Yes! That's exactly what right to bear arms means, to carry a firearm. Period!
What would happen if every person (millions) decide to carry there guns in public . Would the law inforcers kill everyone by trying to over power them
short answer: YES
ARMS = Any guns, cannons, etc!!!!
How can there be a militia if firearms can’t be carried in public? Of course it is included.
