A succinct description of the #2

The sweetest 27 words ever written. Short precise and dead on accurate. So simple even a liberal should be able to understand! But alas, they don’t. Perhaps it’s the public school edumaction that teaches and preaches about pee pees innies and outees that has caused this country to run aground.

Read it and weep, it is the law of the land written in a manner a simpleton should understand.

Long Live the free Country of the US of A

Second Amendment

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.

Was there a standing military in those days ? Taxes were not in favor during those times. Did the government have the ability to tax and pay for a military and the guns, supplies, and all that goes with that ?

That may have been part of their reasoning and the reason for their descriptive and careful wording of this Amendment.


The Founding Fathers would be shocked at the amount of taxes levied and collected now. Likely they would be shocked on other matters as well.

Nice try. They specifically promoted gun ownership for the purpose of throwing off an oppressive government.

Because they didn't have a military to do that.


And they didn't have the power to tax to raise one.

Again, they had no military to do that.

Here comes the “bUt tHe pEoPle DoNt HaVe A cHaNcE aGaInSt ThE aRmY” argument, from a bunch of armchair military experts, who’ve never been anywhere near a war, let alone see firsthand how handful of guys in sandals can stop the most powerful army ever assembled.

The reason #2 is so important

The Second makes all the others possible! Something to give thanks for. Especially today!

You know exactly where the standing military is.

Additionally each state has a National Guard and/or State Police. If you’re lucky, they’ve got county and city paramilitary force as well. The founders took ALL of that into account.

Appears we all need a #2.
