"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."
Of the 50 states in the United States of America, only 2 states do not recognize these words as they were intended by the founding fathers. Eleven other states have inflicted their version of "shall not be infringed" upon us, by restricting the issuing of concealed carry permits to what is called "May Issue". "May Issue" means that it is up to some government agency, or employee (such as a sheriff) to decide whether or not a citizen will be issued a ccw permit, without any recourse by the citizen. An example of this would be, if you once dated the sheriff's daughter, he could refuse to issue you a permit, just because he doesn't like you.
Fortunately, there are 37 American states that have decided to honor our Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and issue what is called "Shall Issue" permits. "Shall Issue" means that if a person meets the requirments that the state has set for the issuance of a ccw permit, then the state has to issue the permit.
There are some people that always side with the 2 states that do not issue ccw permits at all.
These people like to infer liberal meanings from the words in the 2nd ammendment, and try to coerce "the people" into agreeing with their diluted sense of patriotism by using bilge water phrases like "the constitution is a living document", "militia means the army", "the people, refer to the military and police", and "if the founding fathers had known what it was going to like now days, they would have never put it in the Bill of Rights".
First of all lets take a look at the phrase, "the constitution is a living document", this is said, to imply that the constitution grows with the evalution of our society, and is able to bend or stretch, with the mood of the people of the time. That is what it implies, but what it really means is that a would be controling faction of the population, whether they are the ruling party, or a small minority, have the ability to try to dictate to the rest of the populous, what the meaning of the constitution is. Kind of like when ex-President, William Jefferson Clinton said, "It depends on what the meaning of is is". The reality is just this, if the constitution is a living document, then we have no constitution. Is means is, and the people mean the people, and just because you want something to mean something else, that doesn't make it so.
Now let us look at some of the words in the 2nd ammendment that seem to be so hard to decifer for some people. The meanings of these words have been taken from an unabridged edition of Websters Dictionary, copywrite 1951, before liberalism gained a firm foothold in our country.
A
According to WEBSTERS new world DICTIONARY copyright 1951, before Liberalism! (WELL) adj. 1. suitable; proper; advisable.
According to WEBSTERS new world DICTIONARY copyright 1951, before Liberalism!(REGULATED) 2. to adjust to a particular standard, rate, degree, amount, etc.
According to WEBSTERS new world DICTIONARY copyright 1951, before Liberalism!(MILITIA) 2. in the United States, all able-bodied male citizens between 18 and 45 years old who are not already members of the regular armed forces: members of the National Guard, Organized Reserve Corps (Army and Air), and the Naval and Marine Reserves constitute the organized militia; all others, the unorganized militia.
BEING NECESSARY TO THE SECURITY OF A FREE STATE, THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO
According to WEBSTERS new world DICTIONARY copyright 1951, before Liberalism! (KEEP) 4. to have or hold; specifically) to continue to have or hold; not lose or give up.
AND
According to WEBSTERS new world DICTIONARY copyright 1951, before Liberalism! (BEAR) 1. to carry; transport.
According to WEBSTERS new world DICTIONARY copyright 1951, before Liberalism! (ARMS) 1. weapons.
SHALL NOT BE
According to WEBSTERS new world DICTIONARY copyright 1951, before Liberalism! (INFRINGED) to break (a law or agreement); fail to observe the terms of; violate.
So another way to read the 2nd Ammendment could be as follows.
A suitable amount of able-bodied male citizens between 18 and 45 years old who are not already members of the regular armed forces being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to not lose or give up and to carry weapons, shall not be violated.
Now what part of these words are so confusing to the liberals, Well I'll tell you, no part! They know what these words mean, they just don't like them, so they continue to do what Adolf Hitler said to do, which was "Tell a big enough lie, enough times, and it will be believed".
I hope this has helped some people gain confidence in the way our fore fathers wrote the 2nd ammendment, and has shown some people that you can, fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
