Time For A Judicial Recall

 

1. My one top re-write would be to remove the militia clause of the 2nd amendment. If the amendment was simply, “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,” the grabbers would have no purchase to do all the infringing they do. The militia clause is explanatory, not causatory. It does not allow the right, rather it explains the right. However, I do not see an explanation in other amendments. I may be wrong, but I do not see it. That explanation is the handle to the cudgel of lunacy that says that “the people” in this one place means “the government.”

2. So does that mean that the computer isn’t covered by the First Amendment?

   How dense - the 2nd says - the Right of the individual to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

   Where are the words that provides for a qualification (which is an infringement) in that short sentence?

   But Rick - the militia is in there because at the time (and should now be - see Switzerland and Israel for current real world examples of such) - the People/Citizens were the militia. In other words - the People/Citizens posses this RIGHT.

3. Appeal it and get this awful decision overturned.

   Then petition the bar to disbar the judge, with the hopeful outcome being exactly that, or at least the censure of said judge.

4. Wardmama, I understand that, but the composition of the militia is the thing the left uses to try to say that the national guard ARE the militia. The debate over its composition is mute - the left should have nothing to hold onto in the amendment itself. A simple, straighforward statement would be better for understanding that the right is to the people, not the state.

5. Ah Rick - ever thing that the Left/liberals concocted the NG - for the sole intention of abrogating the 2nd Amendment?

   Right now, I put nothing, absolutely nothing past them.

   To do so is simply foolish.

6. No, not at all, Mama, the left are malicious. They use the militia clause to propound that the National Guard IS the militia referred to in the amendment. If that clause was not there, they would not be able to confuse the militia, the whole of the citizenry, with the Guard, an arm of the state made up of only a small fraction of the citizenry. That is the one, if I had to choose only one, change I would make in the Constitution.
