Hello Society

Dear Society, the 2nd Amendment: the Great Equalizer

Dear Society, 

It has been awhile since we last spoke, yet you continue to attack our rights.
I will begin anew with talk of arguably the most important amendment in the our Constitution.
Of course I speak of the 2nd, the right to bear arms. No it is not the right to guns that is an oversimplification that has allowed infringement.

What are arms? Arms are the use of any weapon that may be used in the defense of oneself or their country. 
I am getting a bit ahead of myself as my passion is showing for this right. First one must write out the 2nd to provide context and to show our sources:
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.

One argument I shall squash immediately about the second is that it belongs only to militia. How will I do so? I will use the first amendment to support my argument:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Now the Supreme court and the citizens alike support the 1st as an individual right and I am sure that anyone incredibly perceptive will have noticed that they share a phrase "The right of the people" this illustrates that both rights belong to the individual and to the collective.
The founders were highly meticulous with their words and not a single word is without meaning. They would not have used the right of the people in an individual right and one that belonged only to the militia.
Now that I have dispelled that argument Society allow me to further dispel arguments that you have presented?
That the founders never intended the 2nd to apply to semi automatic or automatic weapons. False. Their were semi automatic weapons during the time of the founders such as the Puckle gun which existed during the 1700s. It was the world's first machine gun that could fire 9 round a minute. 
If they intended for it only to apply to weapons of the 1700s they would have chose to use muskets. This is not even getting into the logic or lack thereof that is present in that argument. Let's circle back to the militia part of the 2nd amendment to slam the door on this horrid argument. Do you really believe the Founders were that dumb to think that technology would not advance? This is why they did not use muskets and ammo but the term arms.

Now that we are back on arms Society, you really have infringed upon this.
Arms are any weapon that may be used in the defense of oneself, family, or country. This includes the instruments that stab, fire, and go boom. Your laws upon knife length is an infringement upon our rights and a question may be in order to my fellows.
How long are we going to sleep and allow our rights to be whittled? 

Last I spoke of gender and sex, the importance of this will be clear shortly. I am sure Society you have noticed the title of the Great Equalizer. The gun since its invention has been the greatest equalizer against might and victimization. The gun allows the gal to end the life of the rapist before the act and potential murder of the gal.
The gun has allowed the bullied to protect themselves from serious harm from their bullies. 
The gun in the past allowed the peasantry to defeat the experience, might, and armor of the knights.
Yet Society you have bastardized the image of the instrument that gives an equal playing field to those with less might. Instead you have created a mental health crisis that has resulted in the misuse of the instrument.  You blame the gun instead of often the criminals behind it.
You seek to deny me of my rights Society and for that I can, will, and shall tell you to go fuck yourself once more.

Until we speak again Society.

Knight.
