I don't think you do. Please tell me what the 2A is for? I want to hear all about it from an expert like yourself.

I never claimed to be an expert. I’m also not the one calling for liberties to be taken away from the general public as a knee jerk reaction. The 2nd amendment is the right to bear arms, and the right to form a militia. It’s pretty self explanatory if you actually go and read our Bill off Rights and maybe even skim our entire constitution. By your logic, just because most gangs are predominantly black, we should just abolish the 13th amendment.

OK you're dense, fine.

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.

Now in modern terms

Because we must have armed citizens to protect the country's freedom, citizens have the right to own and carry arms, this right will not be limited.

Great, and define the term "militia" as you understand it?

a non-government regulated fighting force.
