“By not being in a position to defend self and others from harm is to be in violation of God’s law. It should not take a[nother] tragedy to occur before Jews arm themselves, but should be armed and go through training long before one occurs that could have been prevented by armed Jews.”
Before getting into the reason, it is important to read the wording of the 2nd Amendment, since much is said without taking the time to read the words nor understand the importance of commas.
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 Amendment covers two distinct areas. First is defense of state through the use of militias. Second is defense of self and others through private ownership of arms. There is no comma between people and infringed, which makes it an individual right.
