The Purpose Of The Second Amendment
Question
Why was the Second
Amendment put into the Constitution?
Answer
So that we could protect
ourselves from the government!
Other
measures to protect US from the government were:
1)
The
fedgov could have no army in peacetime.
2)
Fedgov
could not quarter troops in our houses
3)
Fedgov
could send troops into a state only with the consent of the state government or
during an insurrection.
Question
Without an army how could
the federal government defend the country against invasion and war?
Answer
By calling out the
militia: Each state had an organized militia under the
control of the state government (the officers were trained by the federal
government).
Question
What was to prevent the
state government from using the militia against its own citizens?
Answer
To regulate that is to control the militia
the Founder’s said “Arm the entire population”
THAT
is the Second Amendment.
In the “Federalist Papers”
the founders asserted that the combined militias of the states would be
stronger than any force the Federal Government could raise, and by the same
reasoning an armed population would be stronger than any militia a State
Government could use against its citizens.
The Second Amendment has
nothing whatsoever to do with hunting, sportsmanship or target shooting:
The claim that it does has
been made by people who want to exclude the ordinary citizens.
(Who are not hunters,
sportsmen or target shooters) from the debate.
This allows those
promoters to agree to a series of compromises which over time will disarm
the people and leave US at the mercy of the government.
