(2,723 posts)va mtn man: A well balanced breakfast being necessary to the start of a healthy day, the right of the people to keep and eat food shall not be infringed...
Who has a right to food, "a well balanced breakfast" or, the people??? Or food ONLY at breakfast time, when eating breakfast?????
Dunno what you think you prove. Couple problems for your breakfast amendment:
1) The people indeed have a right to eat food, as long as it makes for a well balanced breakfast. This becomes problematic in our food supply. Beer & distilled spirits are likely ruled out, as well as too many eggs & sowsage & donuts(???) There are limits as to what one can eat for a 'well balanced breakfast'. Obviously one shouldn't eat dogmeat here in usa, or cats, & jewish can't eat certain non kosher foods etc...
The food people can eat acc'dg to your breakfast amendment must be regulated to maintaining a well regulated, excuse, a well balanced breakfast.
2) Scalia in heller said the individual rkba was needed to 'prevent elimination of the militia', so accd'g to that dickhead, you could eat food so as to prevent elimination of well balanced breakfasts, eh? you tell me.
mtn man posted def of regulate ,which is conspicuously missing 'subject to rules or restrictions' as defined by Webster in 1828:
reg·u·late
1. To control or direct according to rule, principle, or law.
2. To adjust to a particular specification or requirement: regulate temperature.
3. To adjust (a mechanism) for accurate and proper functioning.
4. To put or maintain in order: regulate one's eating habits.
Webster in 1828, more appropriate to our discussion, REGULATE:
1. To adjust by rule, method or established mode; as, to regulate weights and measures; to regulate the assize of bread; to regulate our moral conduct by the laws of God and of society; to regulate our manners by the customary forms.
2. To put in good order; as, to regulate the disordered state of a nation or its finances.
3. To subject to rules or restrictions; as, to regulate trade; to regulate diet.
