[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1362749, member: 14668"] "The right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" is a pretty simple, self-explanatory statement and its meaning doesnt change simply because of the placement of a comma. You take the position that, because we no longer have the civilian militia that is mentioned in the first phrase, the second phrase is somehow completely invalidated. The 200+million Americans who own guns dont agree with you. The 36 states that are "shall issue" for carry permits dont agree with you. The Supreme Court doesnt agree with you. I dont agree with you. Go ahead and do all the mental masturbation you want over the placement of commas. Go ahead and make the argument that the Founding Fathers only intended for militia members to be armed, and that they intended for an overbearing government to deny its citizens the right to be armed. No one is listening. [/QUOTE]
