(2,708 posts)beevul: You're habitually wrong.
If I'm habitually wrong, surely you can post some examples where I'm demonstrably & objectively wrong. Not just wrong because you & some other prejudiced gun enthusiasts subjectively say I'm wrong, but objectively wrong. Post some examples.
beevul: Exhibit A: "The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered..." In the above sentence hes speaking about a RIGHT.
In another different sentence hes speaking about an entity known as a militia.
The entire paragraph is militia centric, & he inserts the rkba sentence into the militia centric.
beevul: A right, and a militia, are two different things jimmy, no matter how much you and your "wall of irrelevant text" buddies try to obfuscate and spin it otherwise.
You play with words, manipulation, casuistry; Observe spin doctor beevul, how justice story meant it:
story, excerpted: The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers and will generally even if these are successful the first instance enable the people to resist and triumph over them.
And yet, though this truth would seem so clear, and the importance of a well regulated militia would seem so undeniable, it cannot be disguised, that among the American people there is a growing indifference to any system of militia discipline, and a strong disposition, from a sense of its burdens, to be rid of all regulations.
What TRUTH is story referring to in the emboldening above, beevul? the truth which he wrote in the sentence just before it; the truth which he then describes as 'the importance of a well regulated militia would seem so undeniable', pertains to the sentence just before it, so he is equating the citizen's rkba with the militia.
Right there in front of your face, beevul.
