Americans of /pol/. I love your 2nd amendment, but I see people being retarded about it from:
The Left - "hurr durr the national guard is the militia referred to"
The Right - "hurr durr the people are a militia"

Why not create several paramilitary volunteer people's militia forces tied to a state, for example: "The Delaware People's Militia" or "Californian People's Militia".

These groups could teach maintenance and respect for firearms and organise hunting, camping, survivalist training, community outreach (eg veterans and ghetto dwellers) and would instill protestant virtues of self reliance, responsibility and work ethic. They could also screen retards and crazies and prevent them from acquiring guns.

Turn over all shooting ranges and gun stores to the militia or groups sanctioned by the militia.

Guns are not a toy and should not be a consumer product, they are tools to defend a free society and a means towards a greater good. Just look at Switzerland, they have mandatory military service and a healthy gun culture.

Tell me why I'm wrong /pol/.

Yeah no. The problem is that gun culture is being frowned upon. If people grew up with guns and learned their importance while also respected their power they would understand them. Additionally, if our culture celebrated life, diplomacy, free speech, and cooperation they wouldn't feel the need to kill each other. If the culture was protected by immigration instead of destroyed we wouldn't have these problems. Laws don't change culture. People do.

See: http://crimeresearch.org/2015/06/comparing-death-rates-from-mass-public-shootings-in-the-us-and-europe/
In general the number of these mass shootings is so small in the first place that you can't even do statistical analysis with it. Nonetheless, the current data does not suggest there is a mass shooting problem in the US.

well you can understand the confusion when the rule is so utterly retarded. what, for instance, does 'well regulated' mean, and what is a 'free state'? If a country cannot interpret its own constitution with clarity its laughable.

'There never did, there never will, and there never can, exist a Parliament, or any description of men, or any generation of men, in any country, possessed of the right or the power of binding and controlling posterity to the "end of time," or of commanding for ever how the world shall be governed, or who shall govern it; and therefore all such clauses, acts or declarations by which the makers of them attempt to do what they have neither the right nor the power to do, nor the power to execute, are in themselves null and void' -Thomas Paine advocate of the war of independence.

There is no gun problem. There is an education problem. That and minorities for the most part. Sure, a few white mass murderers, but those can be blamed on mental illness or society failing them. The unibomber was correct on all fronts, hence him bombing universities. He knew they were the breeding grounds for silly hive mind thought processes on the feminization of society. Then there is the rap culture that condones violence. Various other influences that can be considered detrimental.mSo no, we don't have a gun problem, we have a "society is full of dim wits" problem.

Mhmm. Firearms. Right.

No where on that damn amendment does it say "Right to bear firearms."

It says "Right to bear ARMS".

All arms. All forms of weaponry. Knives, clubs, guns. Everything the military has access to the citizenry has a right to keep and bear. Remember, this hails back to the time where the citizenry WAS the military through these militias, until the government decided it would be more convenient to have a standing army.

To break your argument down, what happens to your shitty rule in the future when we have projectile future tech bullshit that is no longer classified as firearms? (laser weapons, plasma weapons, rail guns, magic cannons, and whatever the fuck else might happen) Do you re write the god damn law every time a new innovation comes out? No, that's tedious, retarded, and increases the opportunity for pork to slide in and rights to slide out.

The rule, as it is stated in the constitution, is simple, straightforward, and in your plain millenial english:

"The government does not have the right to make any law restricting the ownership or use of any weapons, as the security of a 'free state' is dependent upon its citizens being able to defend all of their rights, with organized force, if necessary."

There is literally no thing that prevents a government from taking your "rights" away from you (free speech, protection against unlawful search and seizure, forced quarter, and self incrimination) except the fact that each god damn person has the ability to make themselves equal to the enforcers of the governing body and defend themselves should the government decide to remove these rights by edict.

God made some men bigger or smaller than the others, but Mr. Smith and Mr. Weston made them all equal.

This sounds like a fantastic way to implement overarching gun control, maplefag.

Won't stop them from pursuing their agenda, will just give them more ammo in the fight.

Private groups already do literally every single one of these things, in America you could probably find any of these for free.

>They could also screen retards and crazies and prevent them from acquiring guns.
This is already the law you retard

>Turn over all shooting ranges and gun stores to the militia or groups sanctioned by the militia.
You can own guns and shoot guns but the state has a monopoly on the guns and the shooting ranges

*AHEM*
Actually, no the Right is, well, right on this one:

The Second Amendment makes it clear that “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” That’s pretty clear, right? For those who think that the right only applies to a “militia,” I have good news: That includes everybody. When Founding Father George Mason was asked who constitutes the militia, he responded that it “consists now of the whole people.” http://www.sightm1911.com/lib/rkba/ff_militia.htm

"10 U.S. Code § 311 - Militia: composition and classes
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard."
So the militia is all able-bodied male citizens over 17 years old and female citizens who are in the National Guard.

CANUCKISTAN BTFO!

>>
>>77266157
>From england
>Can't understand written english

"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."

The operative clause starts at the second comma. The right, of who? the people, not the militia, to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. It couldn't be more explicit that the right to keep and bear arms is vested in the people, not any version of a militia. There is nothing confusing about it.

>>
>>77264692
1. "Well-regulated" means "well-equipped" and "well-trained"
2. The need for a well-regulated militia is why the people's right shall not be infringed. It is a reason, not a condition.
3. It is not "if". It is not "when". It is not "as long as". It is "because". Even if a militia does become no longer necessary, it doesn't matter; the people's right still cannot be infringed
4. The people are a militia
5. It's the people's right, not the militia's

What's next we start banning electric cars because they cause too much pain and suffering to big oil? How about we ban private spaceflight too because it causes harm to government contractors?

Virginia prior to the Civil War had a state militia where all white male citizens were required to serve at least part time.

I don't see why we shouldn't bring that system back (albeit it's expanded to all male citizens regardless of color). It will probably help our voter apathy since suddenly everyone is has a vetted interest in the survival of the state.

Both questions are completely irrelevant, as I very clearly stated, muhammed. Try reading again, friend. I know these new latin characters are hard for you after reading arabic chicken scratch your whole life. There is only one operative clause in the amendment and it doesn't use the words well regulated or militia anywhere. Asking what those words mean is like asking what "a more perfect union" means in the preamble. Maybe neat for history research, but completely irrelevant for determining the law.

Again, you fail to comprehend the founding documents of your own constitution. It clearly states that a well regulated militia is neccessary for the security of a free state and so a well regulated militia is an operative clause, that of being neccesary to said state.

Yes, switzerland, your government does.

Because your country relies on militias for the defense of the nation. Should a war occur you WILL be conscripted into the military, and you ARE expected to know and understand how a firearm works.

That is why Switzerland has compulsory military service. Your nation expects to defend itself with EVERY swiss citizen, not just the volunteers.

You can choose not to keep firearms at home, but civilian ownership of firearms and a strong gun control are critical to the national defense of your country whether you want them to be or not.

Or you could just read the Militia Act of 1808 and realize that the "Militia" referred to in the Second Amendment is actually the US Military in general.

In the late 18th and early 19th century, the United States did not have a formally organized Army beyond a few standing units, and national defense was largely dependent upon State run citizens militias to be called up as needed. As a consequence, it was necessary for the people to have access to firearms, since the early Republic could not afford to equip a standing Army in its own right.

There are already numerous groups that teach firearm safety and such, and there is no need to form something and call it a militia when the coutrts have already ruled, repeatedly and conclusively, that the "militia" referred to is the people as a whole.

That said, more teaching of gun safety is a fine thing. Were it up to me, it would be mandatory for all citizens to learn how to safely operate a gun, in case they ever have to do so, If nothign else, "I know how to pick one up and unload it without shooting the cat" would be a Good Thing.

That said, while reducing accidental deaths and hopefully reducing paranoia, knowing more about how to use guns properly would have zero effect on gun crime beyond making the criminals slightly more proficient.

signing up to a state militia before you can purchase a weapon is a nice idea. if shit hits the fan you are obliged to defend the people of your state against any enemies, including that of your own country. different from signing up for the military, but in times of peace you have access to militia clubhouses and shit, personal shooting ranges, go to gatherings and make bro-tier friends. once signed up you can purchase personal firearms and are enabled to go about getting a concealed carry.

olawd that sounds nice. a downside would be a decrease of patriotism toward the US and more patriotism for individual states themselves which may cause conflict and realistically civil unrest. normalfags kill each other over the difference between a football team. imagine the conflicts that arise between the difference of states, this time those frat boys feeling like they are personally responsible for representing their state.

This is in fact exactly what happened in 1861. Its why formal State militias were disarmed after the war. Congress was too busy passing the 13th and 14th amendment though, and never got around to repealing the 2nd Amendment. They figured it did not matter since there were no State militias anymore. They never believed 5 Supreme Court Justices in the 1970's would reinterpret things to mean that everyone can have access to guns at all times for any reason.

This, with the proviso that there IS a gun violence problem among inner-city "youts" who shoot each other with handguns.

The left has given up trying to address this real and serious issue because it is hard to talk about without sounding racist, and liberals would rather let lots of young black men die than risk being accused of sounding racist.

That issue would not be addressed by ewither the Left's desire to grab scary looking big guns, or the Right's somewhat-insincere-sounding interest in better mental health care, since young black shooters mostly use handguns and are mentally stable, if acculturated.

We learned firearm safety, basic wilderness survival, first aid and applicable laws as well as a trip to the range. It really instilled a respect for firearms that I think many gun owners lack.

Interestingly, it it does NOT say that the right of the state to keep and bear arms is protected, or the right of the militia to keep and bear arms is protected... it says something else, doesn't it? It prohibits the government from grabbing arms from who?

>>
The second amendment calls for a well-regulated militia, not an unregulated disjointed armed-populace. Anytime they bring up gun control, people say the second amendment can't be infringed upon, yet the amendment itself calls for regulation. It promises the right to keep and bear arms, it doesn't promise the right to acquire them expeditiously at a level of convenience you're comfortable with, nor does it stipulate what constitutes an "arm". There are plenty of arms that are regulated beyond ownership, I daresay firearms are therefore not untouchable.

Read the rest of my post then, dumbass. It goes beyond "militia". The right to keep and bear arms says nothing about the purchase of arms, the availability of arms, nor the type of arms that is covered. I could say you have the right to keep and bear a unicorn, but it it isn't available, that isn't my problem.

People don't own nuclear arms. Or rocket launchers, flamethrowers, or grenades. Should they? Of course not. But those are technically arms, and the wording of the second amendment doesn't preclude them. Either our inability to own nuclear arms is an infringement on our rights, or the amendment is rather flexible. If it is the former, then the amendment needs to be reworded. If it is the latter, then guns aren't explicitly protected.

>You are implying that the founding fathers of America were convinced that they had reached the peak Technological achievement and no further advancements would occur beyond that point.

Not at all, they clearly understood that things would change over time, and allowed two processes to amend the constiotution if that were to become necessary. However, in the Bikl of Rights they DID explicitly recognize certain fundamental rights that the people possess and which the government should be specifically enjoined from infringing upon. Even as things changed.

>Example: the founding fathers had no idea the information age would happen and never intended the first amendment to apply to the computer or internet.

Wait, I want to be clear, you think that the government should be allowed to infringe on free speech on the Internet because it is a new technology that the founders did not foresee? Really?

They were never firearms, since they do not discharge a projectile, and thus are not covered by your NFA or controlled by the BATFE.
>>
>>77281076

I didn't say they were firearms. I said they were arms. Now they are defined as farm equipment, apparently. And they are banned in some states because of this. This is how easily the second amendment can be broken: just change the definition of "arms" and the whole thing would fall apart.

Because the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

That's all I need to say. The Bill of Rights must never be changed, under any circumstances, and anyone who says otherwise is a traitor. Our Constitution is not a living document, and it isn't just some '200 year-old piece of paper'. It's the foundation for our country, and it is an absolute, unchanging list of the rights that the American people MUST have.

Wait... everyone keeps telling me guns aren't made for killing... they are tools for defense and hunting. The second amendment doesn't protect the right to keep and bear tools, just arms. If all these people telling me guns are tools are correct, then are they therefore not covered by the second amendment?

it's an infringement because you are denying access to arms for citizens who should not legally be denied access. You have denied their right to keep arms by denying them access to them period. Defacto infringement and unconstitutional.

Congress can pass a bill requiring a note from either a firearms instructor or a psychologist / psychiatrist / other doctor simply stating that you are of sound mind before you buy a new semiautomatic rifle. It's the best case scenario because it might actually work and isn't a massive hassle for people and doesn't create a national firearm owners' registry.

If Congress simply does nothing Hillary will probably manage to force through another AWB or worse by 2018 after that year's inevitable mass shooting hysteria.

>>77282491

During the period of the founding of the republic, black powder by ordinance could not be stored in large quantities by residences or businesses. Powder Store houses were set up in more remote areas where if they were to explode, they wouldn't take half the city or town with them.

Explosive arms are to dangerous to be stored in populated areas so they are stowed separately. Simple enough? Nukes are so volatile and destructive that they are handled directly by the federal government. Same reason you cant build your own handy personal nuclear generator.

The people are the militia.

Everyone who buys a gun volunteers.

The right shall not be infringed.

Let me know which point you are having trouble understanding and I'll break it down for you.

>>77282822

Just to take this to the extreme, if we took all the guns in the world and melted them down, and stopped manufacturing them, how is that an infringement on your rights to keep and bear them? If I said you had the right to keep and bear a unicorn, does the fact they aren't available mean your right is being infringed?
>>
>>77283154

None of that is relevant, really. The amendment isn't worded in such a way that precludes ownership of excessively dangerous weapons.
>>
>>77282709
We already have them.
They're private organzations- not part of a master federal listing.
If 2 neighbors have firearms, they become activated as a militia to defend their town in a shtf scenario.
Do you think that all our militias in the past were doing drills on the weekend BEFORE the French invaded.
No.
They formed afterwards to defend the nation.

Explosives existed during the revolutionary period and specific ordinances existed to keep them stored away from populated areas. Those same ordinances are the foundation of modern laws regulating explosives, and massively destructive weapons. They didn't need to include those restrictions because common sense of the day was to keep the highly explosive materials away from the populated areas. Same rules (and new ones) still apply.

>if we took all the guns in the world and melted them down, and stopped manufacturing them

Well, we have the right to own guns. If someone physically took all weapons, melted them into scrap, and prevented the manufacture of more firearms, my right to own a gun is essentially taken away or invaded. If I want a gun or try to make one, it's my right.

If I had guns and someone forcefully took them and away from all citizens, I think that basically is infringing on rights

Thanks Ausbro, but the 14th Amendment guarantees all persons equal protection under the law. This means all US citizens are part of the unorganized militia, not just the men.

correct me if im wrong but it was my understanding that a militia can be defined as a group of people who serve the public and if we impose government control on the second amendmant the government could then regulate free trade by labeling businesses as groups that serve the public and BOOM socialism.

>Well, we have the right to own guns.

Whoa, back up right there, hoss. You don't have the right to own guns. You have the right to keep and bear arms. And of those arms, you only have the right to keep and bear the ones that exist.

>If someone physically took all weapons, melted them into scrap, and prevented the manufacture of more firearms, my right to own a gun is essentially taken away or invaded.

Your right isn't taken away at all. The object simply doesn't exist anymore. I have freedom of religion, but I can't practice a religion that doesn't exist, and the government doesn't recognize every belief system as a religion. I have the right to vote, but I can't just walk down to the polling place and cast a vote when there isn't an election.

>If I want a gun or try to make one, it's my right.

You right is to keep and bear arms, not to manufacture them. All I'm saying is that the second amendment is worded very poorly.

>If I had guns and someone forcefully took them and away from all citizens, I think that basically is infringing on rights
>>Unicorns
>Unicorns don't exist. They never have. Guns do exist. The 2nd exists.

And if they stopped existing, you'd still have the right to keep them and bear them. There just wouldn't be any.

The second amendment needs to be reworded, whether to ban guns, or clarify what is or isn't covered. If I can twist it this easily and point out the flaws, the supreme court could do the same, whether for good or bad.

Here you go OP:

10 U.S. Code § 311 - Militia: composition and classes

Current through Pub. L. 114-38. (See Public Laws for the current Congress.)

US Code
Notes
prev | next
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 14; Pub. L. 85–861, §1(7), Sept. 2, 1958, 72 Stat. 1439; Pub. L. 103–160, div. A, title V, §524(a), Nov. 30, 1993, 107 Stat. 1656.)

So, you're twisting it by outlining a completely hypothetical scenario that will never happen. Whoa, back up right there, hoss.

Who said it would never happen? I mean, it is definitely impractical, and super unlikely, but that doesn't mean it just flat out can never happen.

Also, it doesn't have to happen. You could literally redefine "arms" and break the second amendment. Semantics is all it takes. That's what lawyers do.

>I can twist pretty much everything with an imagination, too
>What if i had no tongue and couldn't talk? Is my first amendment infringed XD? What if words didn't exist anymore?????? WTF

The first amendment is the freedom of speech, not the freedom to talk. There are plenty of mutes, and they have free speech. If words didn't exist anymore, you'd still have the freedom of speech, just like someone that uses sign language does.

It's not worded poorly, you're just a tard who likes to argue semantics.

Because the Amendment, according to the ones who ratified it, intended it for two purposes: self-defense and state militias as a way of defending against standing armies including the United States Army.

It is entirely a check on Tyranny. Good luck convincing anyone on the pro second side that there is no risk of Tyranny from our government in the current year.
