The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads:

“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.”

The authors of the U.S. Constitution used an older version of the English language, popular at the time, to explain the need for “a well regulated Militia, beIng necessary to the security of a free State,” NOT for untrained, unauthorized, and certainly NOT un-regulated gun owners to have the right to bear arms outside of this “REGULATED MILITIA,” which included by implication, during the 17th century, incorporating local law enforcement as part of a “REGULATED MILITIA.”

Consider the Humanity Party’s^®

law enforcement and gun control constitutional changes. Keep in mind that the proposed Constitution increases the presence of and the “regulation” by Congress of a SINGLE, UNIFIED, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY WORKING TOGETHER UNDER ONE ORGANIZATION. There will be twice as many TRAINED AND REGULATED Law Enforcement personnel available who are all regulated by the same rules, protocol, and procedures.

THumP^®’s proposals make sense and will work:
