[FONT=&]I love what the Founders wrote. I even use a capital ‘F’ when referring to them. Languages change over time, and some of the meaning is lost on new generations, who need a translation to explain the meaning. In this case, here is the original wording (which I love), and the modern translation:
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]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.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Translation:[/FONT]
[FONT=&]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.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]I’m not suggesting for a minute that the original be replaced. In fact, it should be reinstated, since its ratified version was an error filled copy. No, restore the original but always tell people what it means, using the translation.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]What’s wrong with talking about what the Founders meant? Gun nuts hate it when people do that because they know the Founders would be against Homer Simpsons buying AR15s.[/FONT]
