[QUOTE="werstlna, post: 5784614, member: 8220"] We cannot allow our rights to be whittled away based upon some new interpretation of the Constitution and its Amendments. It is clear to all serious scholars of our American history that the 2nd Amendment is meant to assure each citizen's right to keep and bear arms; there is no reason why the founders would enumerate this right of the militia. Why on earth do you need to say the militia has the right to keep and bear arms?!? Further, the amendment states the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms. In all other Amendments "people" refers to the individual citizen. It is inconsistent and ethically shameful to propose that the founders meant "people" to be a collective right in the 2nd Amendment but an individual right in all the other Amendments (e.g. speech, religion, peacable assembly, search & seizure). The Constitution and its Amendments affirm those rights which we as Americans are born with. These rights are inalienable, meaning they cannot be separated from the citizen - particularly not be an over-zealous government. Our founders were very careful to place strict limitations on the powers of government and left those powers not specifically granted to the government to stay with the people. [/QUOTE]
