II. 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.
from James Madison (Ft. Thomas Jefferson) – The Bill Of Rights on Rap Genius
Meaning
Although this seems to be relatively simple, there has been a lot of hubbub in regards to gun control within our nation. If we as a people are to keep a well regulated militia, then we need the right to own weapons; problem is, we now have an exceptionally powerful standing army that protects us, which did not exist at the time the Constitution was drafted.
All this is pretty comedically exploited in this Family Guy clip.
