[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1123369, member: 14668"] Instead of worrying about commas, why not just take the text of the Second Amendment at face value? If the Second Amendment [I]only[/I] gurantees the right to keep and bear arms to members of the militia....then why doesnt it [I]say[/I] that? Why does it [I]specifically[/I] gurantee that right to "[B]the people[/B]" instead of "members of the militia?" The Founding Fathers mistrusted standing armies within their midst, and felt that an armed populace was the final gurantor of a free society. The Constitution is full of checks and balances; an armed population is one of those checks. [/QUOTE]
