Interpretation

'Let the laws be clear, uniform and precise. To interpret laws is almost always to corrupt them.' Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet)

Ain't that the truth Ruth.

Most of the time they are not, to say the least and I bet you all know that.

I was talking to my daughter the other day about this very thing.

We were talking of gun laws and what's going on currently in legislatures.

The Freedom stealers make things more complicated than they need to be. This accomplishes several goals.

Primarily, the more obscure, the less time to read and thus, understand.

Often the language is stilted, leaving little time to decipher.

Not only are they Freedom stealers, they are guilty of robbing time and energy.

Seemingly endless debate over that which is obvious, but must be clouded so that they wear some down, advancing in inches. They are patient.

If they can't get it one way, they try another vis a vis the health care bill.

Some things are what they are.

The Constitution and especially the Bill of Rights are such things.

They were worded in plain language.

However, they can be so obfuscated that they have been declared to be 'living' and thus malleable.

And don't forget all the socalled tax laws. Illegality spawning illegality.

The ATF makes up laws/rules as it goes along, or manipulates existing statutes often by exclusion (See how often refs to 2A etal are not allowed in court.).

My hope is when we are a Restored Republic that laws are no more than say a couple of pages and addresses precisely what it's for.

Some things need explanation or exposition. That includes scientific examination but then again mathematical theories can be precise (except for formulae). Lord knows my college papers attest to that, not to mention when I go for a PhD in Clinical Psych, I'll have reams of paper (Printouts for those of you who are pc generation) proving I know what I say.

OTOH, some of that college stuff is where these mokes in DC and elsewhere get their start in verbal diarrhea.

Dissertations are expected to be jam packed with big words and extravagant explanations. Some of my profs used to laugh at my succinct style.

Others would say that to get a point across, it is better to be to the point than to parade round Robin Hood's red barn (Thank you Dr. H).

As for gun laws, there should be none.

The Second Amendment is enough.

It's meaning is clear, uniform and precise.

Only the delaying tactics of those who steal Freedom wish to enlongate that which is obvious.

KISS.
