<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>&#8220;A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a </span><span>free State</span><span>, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.&#8221;</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yay for awkward and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_grammar#Ablative_absolute">archaic</a><span> </span>grammatical structuring! But even when looked at the context of the language of the time period, many constitutional law questions can occur:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Who is covered under “the People” and who are they in relative to the “militia”?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What exactly does “keep and bear arms” mean and at what point is “infringing”?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I say we avoid these &#8220;let&#8217;s guess what our forefathers meant&#8221; questions altogether and allow unrestricted gun purchasing ability to any adult citizen who isn’t a criminal. <span> </span>Assault weapons too.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then we completely outlaw ammunition.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Everyone now has the right to bear arms, a vast array of tools with which to bludgeon your enemies.<span> Free bear arms with every purchase.</span></p>
