The original Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution were enacted and became the “Supreme Law of the Land” on December 15, 1791. All gun laws enacted after that date, are illegal. The Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the additional amendments is the Supreme Law of the Land. Bar none. The language is very easy to understand, it is not confusing in the least.
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.
A well regulated militia, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms – Shall not be infringed.
infringe /inˈfrinj/
actively break the terms of (a law, agreement, etc.).
act so as to limit or undermine (something); encroach on.
Every law that even in the slightest sense of the word, infringes upon the right of the people to keep any type of “arm”, is illegal, per the Constitution. Every single interpretation laid down by the court systems that have condoned such infringements by the Government toward the people should be considered treasonous to The People.
….its most influential framer was James Madison. In Federalist No. 46, Madison wrote how a federal army could be kept in check by state militias, “a standing army … would be opposed [by] a militia.” He argued that state militias “would be able to repel the danger” of a federal army, “It may well be doubted, whether a militia thus circumstanced could ever be conquered by such a proportion of regular troops.” He contrasted the federal government of the United States to the European kingdoms, which he described as “afraid to trust the people with arms,” and assured that “the existence of subordinate governments … forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition”.
In order to legalize any type of restriction on Arms, a Constitutional Amendment has to be be passed in due process, otherwise, the secondary laws, Federal Code, State Constitutions, State Code, etc. etc. are illegal. Period. Any other interpretation is contrary to Constitutional Law and are, in my opinion, put in place simply to control the civilian population, whereby the Government can maintain a stranglehold over the people.
Now, you may not agree with this, that none-then-less doesn’t make your opinion factual. You may consider what has been done, the enactment of these illegal gun control laws, to be “justified” and “moral”, that again however, doesn’t make these laws LEGAL.
In Caetano v. Massachusetts (2016), the Supreme Court reiterated its earlier rulings that “the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding” and that its protection is not limited to “only those weapons useful in warfare.”
I would say “Change my mind.”, but you cannot. Any argument contrary to what I have written above goes against the Constitution and is, de facto, an opinion of a person and doesn’t reflect any of the ideas presented in the Federalist papers nor the most important document, the Constitution itself. The 2nd Amendment was in fact written specifically to allow “The People” to keep the Federal Government in check.
