We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Each amendment doesn't represent a single right. The 1st covers freedom of religion, freedom of speech, & freedom of the press.
The "if" placed the conditional requirement not the comma.

No that isn't clear at all.

It some states it was mandatory that you owned a gun and ammo in case you were called up.
The 2nd amendment was written to allow the states to build militias. In return the federal government was supposed to a small or zero standing army. That isn't how it all worked out.
