good for blank stares from 2nd amendment LUVAHS: the RKBA is in the Declaration, 2nd is CONTROL!!! [View all]

makes perfect sense to me- you might 'need' a gun to:

pursue (protect ) life,

liberty (from OTHER governments and terrorists, INCLUDING domestic),

and happiness (hunting with your kid).

verb (used without object)
2.to encroach or trespass (usually followed by on or upon ): Don't infringe on his privacy.
Origin:1525–35; < Latin infringere to break, weaken, equivalent to in- in-2 + -fringere, combining form of frangere to break


'shall not be infringed' means 'not taken away'.

it doesn't say 'shall be limitless', in fact it recognizes that there WILL be 'regulation' and is designed to LIMIT IT.

NOT to infringe the regulations themselves.

guarantee the 'right to own' through law.

it is completely impossible to have a limitless law!

in the below, community means the nation; law and order does NOT mean 'MOR GUNZ'




law
1 [law] Show IPA
noun
1.
the principles and regulations established in a community by some authority and applicable to its people, whether in the form of legislation or of custom and policies recognized and enforced by judicial decision.
2.
any written or positive rule or collection of rules prescribed under the authority of the state or nation, as by the people in its constitution. Compare bylaw, statute law.
3.
the controlling influence of such rules; the condition of society brought about by their observance: maintaining law and order.
4.
a system or collection of such rules.
5.
the department of knowledge concerned with these rules; jurisprudence: to study law.
