The Three Key Words From the Second Amendment You Will Never Hear on Conservative Media. As the gun control debate rages in the U.S. after the latest horrific massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, you can be all but certain that those advocating for gun rights, hardening soft targets, and upholding the Second Amendment are not going to actually read the text of the Second Amendment on-air or put it in print. Why would Second Amendment absolutists skip over the actual language in the amendment? Because of the pesky second and third words in the text itself: “Well regulated.” Here is the full text of the Second Amendment: “A WELL REGULATED MILITIA, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Special interest groups’” interpretation of the Second Amendment one of the “greatest pieces of fraud” on the American public. That a well regulated militia being necessary for the defense of the state, it gives peoples rights to bear arms. This has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud — and I repeat the word fraud — on the American public, by special interest groups. Let’s look at those words. There are only three lines of the amendment. A well regulated militia — if the militia which was going to be the state army, if it was going to be well regulated, why shouldn’t 16 or 17 or 18 year old and any other age persons not also be regulated in the use of arms? The way an automobile is regulated. The Republican Party has fully embraced a fraudulent interpretation of the Second Amendment to mean that the founders of this country intended for every 18 year old in Texas and everyone older than that to be able to buy a 21st-century version of a machine gun — an AR-15 — and nothing can be done to restrict that right in any way. None of the founders believed anything like that. Whether “well regulated” means an age limit, an assault weapons ban, background checks, licensing, magazine capacity limitations, a waiting period, or any other of the multitude of possible regulations out there, each is in fact part of the original intent of the founders – that our elected officials would regulate the weapons of war held by private citizens.
