Well, I doubt there are any Constitutions written anywhere that include and preserve the right to engage in armed rebellion.
Whether any guns get fired is not the test of armed rebellion : possession of and stated intent to use are the tests and both were proved by the statements made by the perps themselves.
And still there is no justification found for these packs of armed men to describe themselves as 'militias' under the Bill of Rights. Their protection regarding the bearing of arms comes under the Supreme Courts view that individuals are protected, not that they are a 'militia.'
Again, a 'militia' is a disciplined body of armed men raised and acting under the authorities control in time of war or in preparation for war.
A bunch of yahoos running around in camo waving their fire-arms is not a 'militia' except in tgeir own minds.
no im fighting for the rights we are entitled to so we have a chance to prorect ourselves, dont twist my thoughts and words
What rights? The Right to Bear arms is protected under the Right to Self Defence. Nothing in there about using them to obtain what you think you are entitled to. I think I am entitled to a life of absolute luxury and wanton pleasure. That dont give me a right to use, or threaten to use, arms to attain it.
Go read the Supreme Court decision that defends your constitutional right to bear arms. It also confirms the governments rights to abridge those rights and place limitations upon who can bear arms and what arms they can bear. It ain't an absolute right and the 2008 Supreme Court decision recognises that.
Cake and eat it. You cant point to the Supreme Court as your justification for absolute rights to bear any arms you want when ever you want and why ever you want then biatch that it dont apply when the same Supreme Court rules the Government can abridge those rights.
