Why are Americans allowed to have guns?

I mean, just look at your own Document, it clearly states it's only intended for a ''well regulated militia''
Back then, they used these Militias to protect their communities and the amendment was only so they could be armed.

Now if you look at the 2nd part, it says ''the right of the people'', were they referring to ''people'', the individual OR ''people'' of the United States as in the security(military) of a free state? I tend to go for the latter.

So, if you translate this document to modern language, it's pretty obvious the 2nd Amendment was designed to arm a Police Force/Military NOT Individual Americans

Discuss, I guess

Because the people need the means to overthrow a tyrannical gouvernment when that becomes necessary.
By extension, the gouvernment has a good incentive not to become tyrannical.

well regulated in this context means "well maintained," not "subject to government regulations." it was commonly used that way at the time it was written.

taking the 2nd amendment in context with the other writings of its authors, the meaning is obviously for the individual.

There's nothing to discuss. Because of the need for a well regulated militia, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

The potential need for the militia is not gone. We will always potentially need a militia. And because of that, the people must be armed.

Another faggot mixing the prefatory clause and the operative clause together. You could cut off the well regulated militia part and it would mean the same thing; it's just the reason for the right. The right itself is the right to keep and bear arms. The militia IS the people in their entirety, and thus the people in their entirety have the right to bear arms to defend themselves, whether it be from a tyrannical government or a home invader.

Come to the Pacific Northwest, specifically the cities, and witness the zombie apocalypse as thousands of homeless and vagrants roam the streets at all hours of the day, stealing property, destroying public parks, setting up tent/tarp cities which flush local property values down the drain, all while the police are powerless to do anything in part because they aren't trained to deal with this, and in part because any attempt they make to deal with it leads to public outcry from the majority liberal populations.

We have a right to own contemporary weaponry, a right to form militias, precisely because of this type of scenario. We have a right to do something ourselves when the government, for whatever reason, refuses to carry out its duties.

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

Reminder that disarming the populace of a country is fucking treason. The only, only, ONLY reason your government would want to disarm you is to make you more subservient and reliant on the state. Taking away guns from citizens has never shown to reduce crime in the long term, or even the short term.

Any man, woman or child who has lobbied for the restriction of firearms ownership in any country should be held to trial for treason.
>>
The Militia in this case includes every able bodied male between ages 17 and 45 capable of defending the country (and their support) in addition to the organized militia. This is still in the U.S. Code. However you follow antigun distortions of history and constitutional interpretations with the advent of modern standing armies, the national guard and state defense forces, this still remains law and government is limited from depriving the right of the people to defense.

This is already well trodden ground in Heller v DC. The 2nd amendment protects a right for the ordinary citizen to keep and carry arms for offensive or defensive purposes. The 2A like every other right applies to the individual and not an organized state run group or vaguely society at large.

Actually, it's the equivalent of saying:

The commas are what seperate the sentence accordingly, giving it such a meaning. But you clearly already knew that and wanted to just get (you)'s, tense why you made your flag Republican as well.

>>134078103
It does mean "the people" and it goes back to ideas by Montesquieu on when a people has the right to revolt against it's government. Since the US was formed by a people revolting at it's government, they could hardly justify a constitution that would have stated the opposite of the 2nd amendment or they would have admitted to being ursupators. The whole point with it, is that the government always must fear the people. And that's a really cool thing to have in a constitution.

If you read the correspondence of the people who wrote the fucking amendment and signed off on it, it is painfully clear that the intention of the amendment is to shoot politicians when they inevitably become corrupted.

This is why politicians hate the 2nd Amendment. They know it's not to fend off the British coming back for their taxes-- it's to shoot [politicians] in the street when they become destructive of American liberties.

A well regulated militia is necessary to the security of the free state.
If the free state starts to become unfree, and the government starts taking freedoms away from the people, the people will need guns to form well regulated militias to defend themselves and overthrow this government to replace it with a new one that respects the people and its freedom.
They can't do this if they don't have guns in the first place
