You have no understanding of the 2nd amendment whatsoever.

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.

You appear, like most of the anti 2A people, to just pretend the second part does not exist, as well as the context in which it was written. The whole point is to have a well armed populace, that can at any time assemble a militia if needed, and any attempt to prevent that is a violation of the constitution. People like to argue that they didn't intend for them to have heavy armaments, well that's bullshit. They made full use of privateers at the time. Private citizens that literally had war ships decked out with cannons stem to stern. The idea was that the people would be an army in and of itself, with the ability to assemble and fight anyone that would attempt to deny them the rights acknowledged in the constitution. Enemies foreign, and domestic.

Did you not read what I wrote, or are you illiterate? Not a single thing I said infringed on any people keeping and bearing arms. The second ammendment isn't the right to use arms at a carnival game, not the right to shoot other citizens for any reason, it is not the right to show off that you have arms. The second ammendment doesn't defend a right to shoot at the government legally, it defends having the means to break the law to do it should the people deem it necessary. You don't need to shoot bucks to have a militia, you don't need to brandish it in public, you definitely don't need to shoot people on your property as an individual to act as a militia when necessary.

You haven't made a single point against anything I said, just ran your mouth because you're butthurt you want to dick about with guns for any other reason than the creation and maintaining of a well-regulated militia.
