[QUOTE]Originally posted by HMS White Star: [QB] as a restatement that section I printed out came from Article I, Section 6, clause 18. Well Jay all the second Amendment does is allow the government, however the regulate militia, not regulate guns, if you read it literally. Here why they would believe that guns cannot be regulated "...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Actually I did that to show how a statement can have a completely different context if you don't show the full text, btw here is the full text. Amendments to...Article II. 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. To really show how fair I am here is the section that speaks of what a Militia actually is... Article I, Section 8, Clause 16: To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress; Here a part of Article V that shows that the Army and Militia's are different "...except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia..." Here's another Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1, "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States..." So what does all this mean well first it means the Federal government can regulate militia (damn it I read the Article wrong [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/frown.gif[/IMG]). The Army is a distinct organization, from the Militia, period, it was never designed to be there army. Third, Article I, Section 8, Clause 16: says "To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia..." so that means that the Federal Government are supposeds to pay for weapons, however it doesn't state whether or not the members can keep there weapons at home (I believe this was assumed). Finally the Second Amendment modifies the Article I, Section 8, Clause 16, to allow the members of the Militia to bring there weapons home. Does this mean that non-Militia folks can have guns, I think so, however that's more of a Supreme Court to decide. [/QB][/QUOTE]
