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:152535; < 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'
