You gave us a definition which had
1- modern meanings of the word INFRINGED, and
2- the meaning of the word INFRINGED which was labeled as OBSOLETE
The modern definition applies to this period of time. The obsolete definition applies to the time period of the Second Amendments writing.
Good Lord! Both definitions could be applicable, but given the context of the SA, it is obvious that the first definition applies. Anyone with half a brain could figure that out. Of course, I don't put SOME people above being intellectually dishonest about it. Example above.
This is NOT about my interpretation. It is about the definition that you provided for us and the meaning of the term at the time the Amendment was written.
Infringe still means to restrict our rights. It is really quite simple. I'm so sorry that you have such a difficult time understanding the meanings of words in the context of what the Second Amendment is supposed to mean to us.
Everyone knows that the word was used to prevent the government from taking the right to bear arms away from citizens of the United States. It is also obvious because at the time the document was written, we had been fighting off an oppressive government (or monarchy if you prefer). The context of the written words in combination with what was happening at the time the amendment was added makes it quite obvious that our new government was trying to prevent tyranny and injustice to United States citizens.
Really, Haymarket, it doesn't take a rocket scientist. :lol:
