You’re not accounting for the ripples back in time. I mean, always consider the ripples. They go both ways.

“Well regulated in this context doesn’t mean regulated by the government, but well drilled/trained.”

By a 5-4 margin and reflecting a conservative-liberal breakdown, the Court affirmed the appellate court’s ruling. Writing for the majority and joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito, Justice Scalia concluded that the Second Amendment provides citizens with “an individual right to…

Oh yeah. One side is preventing people from… You know… Living and all and the other side is really, really annoying. Totes the same thing. One side has a massive, billion dollar lobby working to prevent any semblance of compromise and debate and the other is asking questions about why we can’t even just talk about…

If that we’re the case, there would be more stringent gun laws.

The Bushmaster Lanza used to murder children and school employees is semiautomatic - true. However, it is capable ose shooting 45 rounds per minute and was infamously designed to avoid the 1994 assault weapons ban. Once again, you are being deliberately obtuse.

Adam Lanza used the weapons he had at home when he killed those children at Sandy Hook. There was no need to buy a weapon, he had an arsenal at his disposal!

Fucking Heller. Fucking Scalia.

The New Yorker did a great and exhaustive article on the history of the 2nd amendment and it’s application a few years back. That it’s current understanding in society is only not yet 40 years old is something most people don’t know.

You’re all over the place so let me reassert my question.

Please do go on about how a well regulated militia will help with invading a foreign country. I’m all ears.

What everyone seems to be forgetting here, as they try to play word gymnastics with the 2nd Amendment to bend it to their preferred view on it, is that this was a case where the gun laws would have worked if they had fucking been enforced.

No actually that wasn’t the meaning until the ill-advised decision in the 2008 District of Columbia v. Heller case 

So yea, it means any asshole can have a gun.

The depressing thing is that the gun nuts of America won’t even consider relieving a gun owner of his weapons once there has been a claim of domestic violence, because “women would just lie.” 

The most overrated at his position of all time? Come on, dude.
