9. Only one of the first ten Amendments has a qualifying clause

And, SURPRISE!!! It's the Second. Yet virtually every other one of the original ten has had limitations placed on it by various Supreme Court decisions over the years. But we're supposed to accept that the Second not only doesn't have limitations (a lie) but it never should have limitations (WRONG!!).
The gun humpers want everyone to believe that the Second Amendment only says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged". But anyone reading the Constitution knows that the full Amendment starts out "A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of the state," which is followed by the gun humpers' favorite part. None of them though want any part of being a "well regulated militia". If they did, they would join their state's National Guard, the successor to the state militias of old.
