that part of the constitution was amended. you know the amendment process, correct? if 3/5 ths of the states ratify that amendment, then we the people have changed the constitution.


there's a difference in amending a government power or process in the constitution as compared to amending the constitution to negate a fundamental right. The constitution was written to keep the federal government small and it's prescribed powers few and finite. Not to remove rights of the people.

But isn't that changing "what the people voted on?"

Your "purist" view locks the Constitution in the 18th Century, and events of today hardly resemble that time period, and as far as keeping the Gov't small, that interpretation went out the window when Hamilton quadrupled the power of the Federal Gov't in its infancy, even Jefferson redefined strict interpretations when he purchased Louisiana.

And to get back to my original inquiry, how does this "purist" view explain the intent of the Prefatory clause of the Second Amendmemt?

Sturm Ruger, known especially for its handguns, had a yearlong promotion in which it gave the NRA a dollar for each gun sold. The total exceeded $1.2 million.
Beretta USA gave $1 million to support Second Amendment lawsuits.
And the CEO of Cabela's, the big-box chain that sells sports and outdoors gear, gave the NRA $1 million cash. He was inducted into the association's Golden Ring of Freedom for top donors.


guess who funds the NRA now
 
taking money from little old men whos dicks dont work anymore could never fund them at the level they need


so now gun manufacturers pay them like a lobby


it keeps their stock prices up

yeah, isn't it astounding that people fought for small and limited government until they became that government? and no, my 'purist' view doesn't lock the constitution because the amendment process is part of the constitution. My 'purist' part is about keeping that government within the confines of the constitution.

the prefatory clause simply tells us that the BEST and MOST EFFECTIVE way for we the people to remain free is that we should ALL be ready and trained to repel ALL enemies to the constitution, foreign and domestic. it should be obvious that those we elect to government cease to care about the constitution....and NO, WE are not the government, despite the idiotic rantings of those that say we are.
