[QUOTE="jarhead983, post: 1498288, member: 7129"] OK, if it is what it is, then at least write it as it actually is, as you say. Your using way too many commas, even more than what is commonly misrepresented. The ratified wording is "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." Since the portion before the comma is not a complete thought it cannot be the point or subject of the statement. It is what is called a subclaus or preamble which was more commonly used at the time of the writing but has become less understood by the common man in modern times. The statement after the comma is a complete thought and is the subject or statement being made. Therefore, as commonly agreed by English professors, the truthfull statement is 'the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." is a the full statement of the 2nd Amendment, the preamble cannot be used as a quantifier or limiter to the statement. The left have tried to muddle this for years and obviously have had great success, but the truth is as stated and as understood now as it was then. Our founding fathers would be aghast at the confusion over such a simple statement. [/QUOTE]
