The Second Amendment, what does it say and how can we use it for gun control.

The Second Amendment: “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.” (www.usconstitution.net) so now that we know what the Second Amendment lets break it down into a clearer understanding of what it means. Most people that you talk to leave the first part “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State” out, and jump right to “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms” the problem with doing this is they are not understanding that it is ok for people to bare arms, but the original intention of the Second Amendment “was about an obligation citizens owed to their government and communities to contribute to public defense.” ( Second Amendment Is misused by Opponents of Gun Control) so keeping that in mind, people who try to use the Second Amendment, as a way to say that they should have the right to bare arms, also need to remember that is not the original intent of the Second Amendment, to keep and bare arm for personal use but to keep and bare arms to protect their government, and their communities.
