Definition of "bear" as in bear arms.

[TexasBear]

According to Webster’s 1828 Dictionary, the term “bear” is defined as:

“To carry; to convey; to support and remove from place to place; to bear as a mark of authority or distinction; as, to bear a sword, a badge, a name; to bear arms in a coat.”

This is how the Framers would have used the term. So, if you really want to get down to it, they made no distinction on whether the arms the citizens carried were either concealed or open. They simply declared that the issue was that citizen’s ability to keep and carry their weapons was not to be infringed upon.

Yep, and I don't no where they came up with the idea of it being designed to protect hunting, pretty sure they were more worried about the british shooting at them than they were shooting deer.

That definition also made it seem to be a very mobile right. Washington often defines or refers to it as a home protection right. Weird?!?

[TexasBear]

Yes, appears it was intended to be a mobile right, not just for hunting and protecting your home.

Freedom has it's life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed-else like a flower cut from its life giving roots, it will wither and die.

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force you are ruined.

Every American must leap to the defense of his or her liberties.

Every American must leap to the defense of his or her liberties.

Amen. They our working our own government against us. Slowly deteriorating our rights. All the Rhetoric and laws are nothing more than propaganda, used to desynthesize the American people, alienate gun owners and criminalize law abiding citizens behind a thin veil of "for the good of the people"..

Dont buy their crap for a minute. Dont "Compromise" as they want nothing less than the complete disarmament of the American People.

I believe this is vital. I hear far too many gun owners say somthing like "well let's work out a compromise" or "let's try to work something out"


They will never stop untill you have nothing more than a butter knife. They take 1 inch today, tomorrow they take a mile. They will continue to attack our rights and we will never get them back. We cannot afford to lose a inch here. It's high time we pushed back and re-gained our God given rights as well as those guaranteeed us in our Bill of Rights.
