Yes, sorry… the militia clause, as its known
The purpose of the militia is to put down insurrection, not to engage in it.
The word “regulated” has had only one actual meaning… the same as it means to regulate interstate commerce.
And only a couple of years later, the militia acts passed.
I pray you actually read what people point you too:
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law
Nah, I was only replying to the part about you not being a 2a supporter, showing you dont have to be, in order to support an armed working class 😀
Please read why the 14th amendment extended the bill of rights to apply to people…
I’m not keen on the 2A, based on it’s original purpose and use. I am, however, pro “Under no pretext shall arms and ammunition be surrendered, and any attempts to do should be frustrated, by force, if necessary.”
For all those reasons you named, are exactly the reasons I don’t want Dems curtailing the right to keep and bear arms.
Notice ICE focusing on low gun ownership regions?
In your case, I’d suggest considering the fact that gun laws usually have grandfather clauses, in order to pass constitutional muster (Depriving people of property, without recompense).
So, the fash will be heavily armed, and any resistance to that cannot arm themselves.
We’re not all in the same group… I’m not an ICE agent, but I am a gun toting American working class person.
In this context when they write about a well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a “free State,” they actually imply that the security guarantee is against a tyrannical state of which they had recently been at war with.
No, it doesn’t. Read Article 8, as it describes what the militia’s purpose is. At the time “the people” meant “the states”, as each state was to be secure in it’s own abilities and authorities to manage it’s militias. The purpose was to put down insurrections and slave revolts.
Remember, also, that to be “in the militia”, you were also reporting for regular muster and inspections. By the government.
No it doesn’t. The role of the militias were to be called up to put down insurrection and slave revolts.
Every single one of those elections, the Dems chanting “us or fascism!!”
It’s kinda like the gun safety debate: we can not discuss it within 72 hrs of a mass shooting.
After 72 hrs, nobody wants to talk about it, or we have another one.
When will the Dems actually oppose fascism, instead of saying they want to?
Additionally, who is that “boring liberal republic” better for? Certainly not Palestinians. Certainly not for union workers on our rail lines. Not for people becoming houseless. Not for queer people. Not for indigenous peeps, either…
So, just for white, straight people, so we need to keep supporting it?
People of the US and China are both unsure of what to believe about the other, because both are so propagandized lol
Due process includes the process of your ballot eligibility being reviewed, and then denied, based on things that are prima facie.
