Applied commonsense among an armed citizenry. Open carry makes for better neighbors. yet, grandma's purse carried a small pistol. hence the power of the purse.

    The "right" is: to keep and bear arms PERIOD No written ideology of carnal man can lawfully usurp or limit that right.

    This quote, is the stance of a criminal citizenry. The educated citizen has all their investment in the sanctity of life and the forces of nature to preserve.  Those bearing arms question nothing, the educated question everything.

    It's interesting how laws protect our rights, much like power-ups in a game. Speaking of games, anyone tried Snow Rider 3D lately? That feeling of freedom gliding down the slopes reminds me of the liberty this amendment discusses. Navigating legal complexities can be as challenging as mastering tricky levels in Snow Rider 3D!

    We should not prepare ourselves to be violent savages, but prepare ourselves to be nonviolent human beings. Seeking nonviolent methods and practices is the course towards human understanding and appropriateness.
