The discussion centers on the interpretation of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, specifically whether it grants the right to bear arms solely to members of a militia or to all citizens without restrictions. Participants express confusion over the grammatical structure of the amendment, noting that it does not explicitly mention individual self-defense or hunting. Some argue that the historical context of the 18th century makes the amendment obsolete in modern society, while others maintain its relevance as a safeguard against tyranny. The conversation highlights differing views on the necessity and implications of state militias versus individual gun ownership rights. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexity of interpreting the Second Amendment in today's context.

GOooooo Figure!

That figure, the 6.3 Billion people, (Never mind that, I had heard of the '5 to 6' point, somewhere in the early 2000'ths, so since the turn of the century we have added the equivalent of the population of the "United States of America", to the entire World) is probably the clearest reasoning for the need of dis-arming the nuclear weapons of the Entire Planet.

It figures like this, simply, there is no longer a place to shoot at, that you would not be killing "millions" of innocent people, "Weapons (of the) Destruction (of) Innocence" (WDI's)

So now it becomes "No-Nuke'm all", as in let's demonstrate, to ourselves, that we are actually intelligent enough to recognize that the use/need of them, well, they are actually needless!

Oh Yes! one of the Bears in the 'Y'uppers' (pronounced "You purrs") wanted me to remind you all that this is NOT a territorial representation that I make, (as their Lawyer) it is of all of the (Wild) Bear!


I remembered him, as I has slept out in his 'front yard' one night, while traveling across the "Y'uppers", "above the Bridge", the people that I met, later in the morning, asked if I had slept out there that night, told me that I had taken a "risk", cause the place was "Thick with Bears"...never bothered me none, "Blackie" probably didn't smell much more then my tent, as EVERYTHING ELSE was double wrapped in plastic to suppress odors.

(BTW, Blackie {Not his real name, not even in Bear} Says; "HI"!)
