Summations Only

Who decides what the definition of "arms" is as it relates to "the right to keep and bear arms"? I saw you alluding to arms used in partaking in or starting a militia, but is that not your particular interpretation? Yes, it is evident based on context, but it has also been argued that we already have our militia: the National Guard (note: I am not taking, nor am I defending, that position). I am merely stating that certain parts of the constitution are very subject to interpretation. Perhaps it was meant that way so as to make it a document that is fluid and able to change as society changes. I, personally, see a militia as more relavant at the inception of the government/country when we were high on revolt, lawlessness was a plenty and the possibility that we could be overtaken by the redcoats again was high, thus legally allowing a second revoltion if necessary.I am for at least some sort of further control, but I am not sure what sort. I don't follow every major shooting, but the ones that make big headlines don't strike me as being at the hands of "responsible" gun owners. Are there guns that I, personally, think a civilian has no business owning? Sure, but that's my personal opinion and matters of opinion are worthless in matters such as this.

Do you have a reading problem? Immediately following the sentence you quoted, I said the following: What part of that made you think I was making that argument. EVERYTHING in my post was indicative of my intent to point out the fluidity of the constitution.

Then perhaps you should be more clear. Better yet, you could have addressed the point I was making instead of responding to something I specifically said I had no intention of discussing. Could it be that, oh, I don't know, you responded to me about something I wrote in a manner that appears as a question directed towards me and in no way indicative of a second line of discourse? No. I think you need to get some thicker skin. Overreacting would have been me calling you an illiterate cunt who has the reading comprehension skills of a peasant.
