The constitution - A lesson and debate

[Truth Detector]

This ^ retarded guy doesn't get that I agree about the "shall not be infringed" part.

^This moron thinks it's about Militias.

 

[Truth Detector]

The Constitution confers the right to a speedy trial and impartial trial, confront witnesses against you, compulsory process to obtain witnesses, and assistance of counsel. It also guarantees the right to trial by jury and no double jeopardy, no excessive bail and no cruel and unusual punishment.

I don't think God gave us the right to trial by jury or a speedy trial. Only the government can guarantee these procedural rights.

Those are not rights. Those are instructions dumbass.

I've never before seen a run-down double wide described like that, Bullshit Blob, but as long as you're happy.

What does "well regulated" mean?

In proper working order. Cocked, locked, and ready to rock! Oiled up and ready to go

with everybody having guns whether they're with the militia or not. Ready to defend their homes and families from whatever threats come along.

Those are not rights. Those are instructions dumbass.

Those are included in the Bill of Rights which are guarantees to all residents. They are just as much rights as the 1st and 2nd amendments which "instructs" the government not to abridge speech, press, religion. But these require positive government action rather than just listing things the government cannot do--procedural vs. substantive rights. Try actually reading the Constitution and you won't make such a fool of yourself.

Of course it's every American citizen. I never denied that. Well regulated just means well organized and trained to defend the State.
