What it really means

By -
"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."

Let's analyze:
"well regulated" = the ability to understand and execute the commands: "ready... aim... fire;" and having in one's possession the tools to do so.

"militia" = adult citizens capable of bearing arms and defending themselves, their families, and their country.

"being necessary to the security of a free State," = The Founding Fathers did not want a federal army that could be used by a tyrant to control the people.

"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." = self explanatory.

Note: to infringe =
1 : to encroach upon in a way that violates law or the rights of another
2 obsolete : defeat, frustrate
* Usagi's Note: I do not think the second definition of infringe is obsolete at all

The Problem With Many Modern Women

Seen on X, from Richard Cooper - here, pasted text in case Blogger inexplicably deletes the image as they have done so many times in the past: "In the not so distant past, she was wifey material if she was: A virgin Tattoo free  Had good family  Feminine  Under 25  Religious  Had homemaking skills  Agreeable  Could cook & clean  Wanted his children  Most brides today are none of those things." Here we will give an example of what most modern women are like in italics below Cooper's list of marriageable qualities.  Marriageable qualities vs. Reality: A virgin Been with 100+ men (whatever number they tell you, multiply it by 9, at the least.)  Tattoo free  Many tattoos.  Had good family  Comes from single mother only home where the mother did not allow the father into the children's lives.  Feminine  Feminist Under 25  Over 30, with declining fertility.  Religious  "Spiritual" (meaning wil...

More Fake Than Wrestling

The stripper who accused several Duke LaCrosse players of rape in 2006 has now recanted - acknowledging they did not do the crime. We have known that for quite a while, as all charges were dropped due to a complete lack of evidence.  Even back in 2007, it was known what the truth was, but the national media started down a path we now call "believe all women." How do we know? The prosecutor dropped the charges.  From this link : "For the attorney general to go as far as he did really indicates serious problems with the case and shows Mike Nifong is in serious trouble. The main thing is that there's no lingering question. These boys didn't just get off. It's not going to be pondered whether these guys bought their innocence. They didn't do anything." — Elliott Wolf, Duke's student body president. The prosecutor withheld evidence in the case that would have exonerated the accused players. He was later disbarred for that.  Oh, and the stripper? She ...

The Breed of Peace

Reposted from Social Media: By Robyn Eshelby-Theart. ====== I'm a qualified dog behaviourist. Not only that, but I spend my entire life working with dogs. It's literally my 24/7/365 as, beyond being a behaviourist, I have a doggy daycare and boarding facility. My job is dogs. Tonight I will share something with you. And for the sake of all innocent animals, I hope that you read it. PIT BULLS ARE NOT PACK DOGS. PIT BULLS ARE NOT MULTI-PET-HOME DOGS.   Now before everyone launches into the "I know a nice pit bull who nurses kittens and walks around with a duckling on his shoulder" stories... Everyone knows a nice pit bull. If everyone here was to post their nice Pitbull story, within a minute or two people who truly understand the breed would refer 100+ pit bulls currently sitting in rescue within 50km of Fourways, with profiles on social media, whose only crime was being true to their breed design. Hundreds of Pit bulls around the country, possibly thousands in fact, ...
