[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3837649, member: 745"] Put this in the proper perspective. The Second Added Article to the Constitution - AKA the Second Amendment - prohibits government to infringe upon the Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms. All the reasoning, all the attempts to redefine what an arm is, all the fallacious arguments regarding what the Founding Fathers meant or intended, is immaterial. The down to Earth plain as day intent is codified in the very words that comprise the Second Amendment: "...shall not be infringed." The definition of the word "arms" at the time the Constitution and the Second Amendment was established, ordained, and ratified is as simple as it gets. The pertinent definition of the word "arms" at that time - and today as well - is: [I]weapons of offense or armor of defence. (Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language - Published 1755). [/I]Ergo, any and all this "discussion" belongs in nothing less than a Constitutional Convention. It has no relevance regarding so-called 'gun control', 'safety', or what-have-you. Any act of any legislature limiting or prohibiting any law abiding citizen from keeping and/or bearing arms is unconstitutional. Any refusal to repeal any such unconstitutional law is as despotic as passing such law. Reasoning such as "in common use" is irrelevant. Limiting caliber is not allowed. Destructive device has no meaning regarding arms. Limiting rifle or shotgun barrel length is not allowed. How an arm functions is irrelevant. There are no such exceptions in the Constitution's Second Added Article. Even if the Second Amendment is altered or repealed, We the People will still have the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. It is God given. We were created with the ability to engineer our self defense since we cannot outrun animals that would eat us, we have no claws, no fangs, no poison, no hard shell, no wings, we can't change color to blend in with the environment, etc., etc., etc. Our Right to Keep and Bear Arms is also our defense against tyranny, slavery, despotism, rape, pillaging, looting, and anything else that would infringe upon our lives, our freedom, and our prosperity. Keep the foregoing in mind and repeat it to those who would infringe upon our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Let them know that even if their stated intent is for a supposed good or safety, that even if it is not their intent to subjugate us, disarming us or limiting our arms will make us vulnerable to any and all who would conquer and enslave us, steal our land, and our prosperity. Making us vulnerable is just as despotic as taking us for themselves. Woody [/QUOTE]
