Guns and colleges make formula for tragedy

163. Challenge prejudice.

Write out the Second Amendement on paper, and diagram the sentence.
Whose right is it to keep and bear arms? Is it the right of The People? Is it the right of the militia?

English grammar attacks your position.

Some people simply don't like the idea of the American People being armed if they choose to do so, and their thinking veers off along logically indefensible lines.

You say:
"There is no sacred right to bear arms in the Constitution..."

The Bill of Rights says:
"...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Your logic could also claim that there is no sacred right to a jury trial, or to not incriminate one's self.
Why? The amendment states x, you infer negative x.

You say:
" ...there is a right to be part of a "well-regulated Militia,..."

The Bill of Rights says:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,..."
Where does Amendment II bolster your claim? All it says is that a well regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state.

The militia are a subset of the People. That's all. The right to keep and bear arms is the right of The People, NOT of the militia. The right to keep and bear arms exceeds the bounds of the militia. Rather, it's more correct to say that, because the militia are composed of The People, that that is their right to be armed.
