The Meaning of the U.S. Constitution’s 2nd Amendment

The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was written into the Bill of Rights and the Constitution in 1787 as the replacement-Constitution for this country, replacing the prior Articles of Confederation, which had bound the United States together as the nations first Constitution. We Americans live under Americas second Constitution, but the terms-of-reference in it are the same as for the document it replaced the Articles of Confederation.

The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is very brief, and states, in its entirety: 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.

The Articles of Confederation had said: … every State shall always keep up a well-regulated and disciplined militia, sufficiently armed and accoutered, and shall provide and constantly have ready for use, in public stores, a due number of field pieces and tents, and a proper quantity of arms, ammunition and camp equipage.

However, John Adams and others were disturbed to note that the arms in those public stores were insufficient; and, so, the drafters of the Constitution decided to allow the active members of each of any given states well-regulated and disciplined militia to use in his public official capacity within the militia, his own (privately held) arms. For example, Adams wrote to his wife, on 26 August 1777, The militia are turning out with great alacrity both in Maryland and Pennsylvania. They are distressed for want of arms. Many have none, we shall rake and scrape enough to do Howe’s business, by favor of the Heaven. What this meant regarding any possible foreign invaders who might want to invade and conquer the new nation, was dire for this new nation.

As the excellent Wikipedia article on this matter states: A major concern of the various delegates during the constitutional debates over the Constitution and the Second Amendment to the Constitution revolved around the issue of transferring militia power held by the States (under the existing Articles of Confederation) to Federal control.

The Second Amendment exists within that context transferring, from purely local state-government control, to additional national U.S. government control, the existing, purely state-government well-regulated and disciplined militia, and doing it in such a way as to conscript, for this purpose, not only (as the Militia Act of 1792 was to express this matter formally) each and every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein, who is or shall be of age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years (except as is herein after excepted) but also those persons privately owned weaponry, or arms. The government was desperate for adequate armament, in order to be able to defend itself against any foreign invader, such as soon occurred in the War of 1812 when Britain invaded in order to re-subjugate the American people. And, the 2nd Amendment was therefore felt to be necessary, for those times.

Only government-controlled militias are referred to in the Second Amendment. This was a matter of protecting the government, not of providing self-appointed people the means with which to overthrow it. It was a matter of protecting democracy. Never were the militias private armies. Government control over them was always presumed when the term militia was being used in any legal sense. The NRA, Antonin Scalia, and others, have lied to deceive the American public to the contrary, but they all know the truth, because its right there, in the documents themselves, and stated very clearly.

My article “Las Vegas Massacre Proves 2nd Amendment Must Be Abolished explains how it came to be that the liars have succeeded in changing the meaning of the Second Amendment so radically that, now, the 2nd Amendment Must Be Abolished. What that sniper did in Las Vegas, on 1 October 2017, has transformed the American debate about guns, in such a fundamental way, so that, either the 2nd Amendment is to be repealed, or else any entertainment-event or other event that attracts a mass of people, is an open invitation to anyone who wants to commit mass-murder that the only access the law (the government) has in order to deal with such attacks is after-the-fact, once all of those murders and injuries have already been perpetrated. Nothing can be done in advance, so as to prevent any such attack. Is a continuance of this situation tolerable to the American people? Or, instead, should the gun-question here now become: When is the 2nd Amendment to be repealed how soon can it be done?

After that question becomes answered, the American people can begin to debate publicly the entire problem of identifying whom the deceivers had been, who had brought this nation to such a desperate situation, as this certainly now is. It can be a truth-and-reconciliation commission approach, or else a truth-and-punishment approach, but it will have to be done, in either case, so that this nation can move forward to a better future, no longer one thats based on such horrendous lies, as have been perpetrated in this matter.

There can be no question, as to whether internationally the U.S. is extraordinary, or perhaps even unique, in its sufferance of such powerfully effective deceit, because the U.S. stands alone internationally, in its being in this situation. That, too, is proven clearly by the relevant evidence, which shows that the U.S. stands alone at the top among all nations in Guns per 100 people , and, also (except for the sole outlier, Mexico, which has both a relatively low gun-ownership and the worlds absolute highest gun deaths per 100k people) has the worlds highest Gun deaths per 100k people (after the number-one and total outlier, Mexico).

Clearly, Americas liars, in this case, have loads of innocent blood on their hands. The question now is whether the victims, both of the lies, and of the resulting multitude of injuries and deaths, will strike back, by rejecting the lies, and the liars. The only way to start that process, is by passing a new (and remarkably brief) U.S. Constitutional Amendment (of which weve now got 27): The 2nd Amendment is hereby repealed. That would be the start, of a very constructive process: restoring American democracy.

The U.S. Supreme Court, in 2008, poisoned the 2nd Amendment; and, as a consequence, the archaic and perennially contentious 2nd Amendment must now be annulled, so as to cleanse the U.S. Constitution of that long-archaic and counter-productive, but now outright toxic, part.

It was already gangrenous.

Now it must be removed entirely.
