The words "to bear arms" is a military term

[bigrebnc1861]

Agreed, but SCOTUS usurped the power of judicial review...

Their very rulings are unconstitutional...

The Second Amendment protects a preexisting, fundamental right to defend our lives, that of our friends, family, neighbors, etc., against all enemies, foreign or domestic; including but not limited to our own Government; using equal or greater force than may be brought against us; and the single most important tenet of the Second Amendment our framers left us; was the ability to remove or replace our own tyrannical government. Without the Unabridged Second Amendment they left in our care; WE THE PEOPLE have no effective means to remove or replace a tyrannical government.

The bill of rights were written in unambiguous terms to be understood by the common people...
That is why most of the originals are so brief, they intended them to be that way; so nothing could be further read into them as SCOTUS and Congress and others have been doing...

Congress & SCOTUS and law makers at the state, local and other municipality levels have created some 22,000 and counting ambiguous exceptions to "... Shall Not Be Infringed..."

You posted the Miller SCOTUS decision for example; that has been the source of some 70 years of convoluted legal precedence that is in total contradiction to the Second Amendment...

The Heller & McDonald SCOTUS decisions further muddied the waters with ambiguity unbelievably stating that it was OK to ban some types/classes of weapons... THANK THE NRA, THE SAF and Alan Gura Esq., for the SELL-OUTS...

WTF with the Valid Sporting Purpose B.S. laws? how is that consistent with "... Shall Not Be Infringed..." ?

I am of the opinion that the Second Amendment nor any others need or should have anything read into them...
They were created in the most unambiguous terms as possible and mean the same today as they did when they were written...
In the case of the Second Amendment "...Shall Not Be Infringed ..." means just that PERIOD, no exceptions...

Not "...Shall Not Be Infringed ..." Except if your zip code is x, the type or class of weapon you desire to carry is y or you desire to carry said weapon openly or concealed...

...

Why do people think Heller and McDonald were great victories for the gun owner all those rulings did was open a new way to have more gun control. Those rulings can be interpreted wrongly by some liberal leaning lower court justices.
