It is evident that there are many different meanings/definitions for most of the words, used by the Framers, when they wrote the Amendment. Of particular interest, is that, no matter which different meaning or definition is used - they all spell out the same OVERALL meaning. Done by DESIGN perhaps? For, after all, it is crystal clear that our Founders were NOT dummies! As ANYONE should plainly be able to see, the Second Amendment MEANS EXACTLY what was written. And CANNOT be disputed!
As pointed out by the Founders, the PEOPLE are the ones by, of and for which our Government was created. And it is quite evident that the PEOPLE are in grave concern for their General Welfare. As we indeed we should be. Does not the principle, in regards to Freedom, of that which affects one, affects ALL still apply? Have we become a country of such selfishness that the welfare of the general population can be so easily cast aside? Why would such reckless disregard be shown for the Rights of the People? Whatever the pretense given for such violation(s), it does not stand to reason.
There are laws which were set up and agreed to by our predecessors, by which our government should be bound. There is no possible justification, that can be asserted, for interference with the principles that have been laid out. For they were intended as a system of checks and balances meant to counter attempts of corruption. There is nothing of any good that can arise from such perversion! The ONLY road that corruption leads to is anarchy and death! World history is riddled with examples, from which to draw on, that prove this conclusion.
A fact, well worth taking into consideration. Is that, as a general rule, those that are corrupting typically don't end up as they had expected. Them, or those that are closest to them. The old adage of 'what comes around - goes around', will always apply.
