A South Elgin letter to the editor: The Second Amendment is one sentence with two phrases and only one meaning. It starts 'A well-regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state.' The intent is a civilian controlled military-style force.
The Second Amendment is one sentence with two phrases and only one meaning. It starts"A well-regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state." The intent is a civilian controlled military-style force.
Militias in 18th century America were civilian paramilitary organizations created and regulated locally, but state chartered. Volunteers had to attend training sessions and supply a musket or rifle. The weapon was their personal property. Defense was to be accomplished by personally armed militia members who could be quickly mobilized into a army.
The amendment is about defense of he Constitution and the country, not firearm ownership. The framers took for granted most households had firearms. In many aspects the Second is obsolete in today's world. Our security depends on standing federal armed forces not locally controlled militias. The Amendment does not prohibit ownership or regulation of firearms. Federal Law should ban automatic weapons and weapon with little use. Regulation should be a State reasonability via uniform gun law passed by each State. This will create uniform base while
allowing each State to make modifications applicable to is own needs. Federal firearm laws do not work as they are one size fit all and each State ha different requirements and customs.
