Most Dangerous Sentence in the Constitution

Thursday, August 21, 2025

David French: Many of the Constitution's flaws remain hidden when America is governed by decent men, but that become obvious and dangerous when it is not. Poor character creates a constitutional stress test, and it can reveal fatal defects in much the same way that a physical stress test can expose flaws in your heart.

The founders specifically tied those arms to being in a militia.

I doubt there is anything about you that is "well regulated" except maybe your bowl movements.

When is the last time you drilled ?

Free White Persons, specifically, also the only people eligible for citizenship via immigration per the constitution..
No one then or now agrees with the policy of arming the people who cause the great majority of the problems.
THEN the problem would not have developed; NOW the solution, according to those who caused the problem, would be to strip the rights of everyone en masse just to be 'fair'. It's a race to the lowest demon-inator.

Pathetic understanding.

The phrase is a commentary on the reasoning behind allowing the people to bear arms.

WE POSIT: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,"
THEREFORE : "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

"Well regulated militia" means a process for activating, training, and deploying the militia in official service should be efficient.

If everyone has a weapon and knows how to use it, it would be an efficient way to form Militia's in fact that is what happened in the civil war.

It's a race to the lowest demon-inator.
