Now this is definitely the hottest issue to date.
What is the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights?
The Second Amendment was adopted on December 15, 1791. It reads:
"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."
Before reading to far and getting your panties in a wad, I want to inform my readers that I believe in American's owning guns. I do believe that there should be some restrictions on who can buy guns and we should have more stringent background checks before issuing fire arms. Now on with it.
Well now, isn't that interesting. A well REGULATED MILTIA. The definition of Militia is:
1. a military force that is raised from the civil population to supplement a regular army in an emergency.
2. a military force that engages in rebel or terrorist activities, (AKA Black Ops) typically in opposition to a regular army.
3. all able-bodied civilians eligible by law for military service.
So taking that definition into account, and last part of this amendment, THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS, is meant for John and Jane Q citizen. But leave it to the government to create a quagmire of definitions, each of which they tend to use when it meets THEIR agenda.
The term militia in the United States has been defined and modified by Congress several times throughout U.S. history. As a result, the meaning of "the militia" is complex and has transformed over time.[1] It has historically been used to describe all able-bodied men who are not members of the Army or Navy (Uniformed Services). From the U.S. Constitution, Article II (The Executive branch), Sec. 2, Clause 1: "The President shall be the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States when called into the actual service of the United States."
This is scary with Obumma in office.
Today, the term militia is used to describe a number of groups within the United States. Primarily, these are:
The organized militia defined by the Militia Act of 1903, which repealed section two hundred thirty-two and sections 1625 - 1660 of title sixteen of the Revised Statutes, consists of State militia forces, notably the National Guard and the Naval Militia.
The National Guard, however, is not to be confused with the National Guard of the United States, which is a federally recognized reserve military force, although the two are linked.
The reserve militia are part of the unorganized militia defined by the Militia Act of 1903 as consisting of every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age who is not a member of the National Guard or Naval Militia.
Former members of the armed forces are also considered part of the "unorganized militia" per Sec 313 Title 32 of the US Code - For further reading CLICK HERE
So after all the research I have done, and many, many posts via facebook, twitter, and the constitution, it seems to me that only the military active duty and reserved duty, are the ones that can have guns. But then the last part , item 3, causes me to believe that this means anyone, after qualifying backgrounds, is entitled to own a gun. When you put together private citizens owning guns and Obumma being the Command-in-Chief not only of the military, but of individual state militia groups, no wonder the idiot is trying to take our guns.
Thoughts and comments are most welcome.
